I understand the feeling of putting off work! Procrastination happens to all of us.

Here are some effective strategies to overcome procrastination:

1.Break tasks into smaller pieces. Large projects can feel overwhelming, but dividing them into manageable chunks makes them less intimidating.

2.Use the “5-minute rule” – commit to working on a task for just 5 minutes. Often, getting started is the hardest part, and you’ll likely continue once you begin.

3.Create a dedicated workspace free from distractions.

4.Try time-blocking techniques like the Pomodoro method: work for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break.

5.Set clear deadlines for yourself, even for small milestones.

6.Identify your peak productivity hours and schedule important work during those times.


7.Remove digital distractions by using website blockers or putting your phone in another room.

8.Use accountability partners or publicly commit to completing tasks.

9.Reward yourself after completing tasks to build positive associations.

10.Practice self-compassion. Beating yourself up about procrastination often makes it worse.
