Having a checklist of goals that reflect your current mental & emotional health. I think the whole point of one procrastinating occurs because we are mentally/emotionally/physically exhausted to go on. And to go easy on yourself helps to break the negative feedback loops in your brain.

To overcome procrastination I think we need to break down large tasks into smaller, more manageable tasks, Set deadlines for ourselves and stick to them also give rewards ourselves for completing tasks in terms of anything for motivation.

Maybe you sometimes get distracted, switch after work. For example, you can watch a football match or bet on Pin-up https://awc.kz/ to add some adrenaline. Or it helps me too: I set tasks for each day according to priorities, I set deadlines for each task.

For me, I do the most tedious task first. By having the difficult stuff done I feel more motivated to finish everything else.

1. Giving myself easy tasks to do first (gives me a sense of momentum & accomplishment) 2. Pomodoro timers also work great when I know I need to get a big task done 3. Finally, planning small rewards based on milestones keeps me motivated!

Create a to-do list or use productivity tools to stay organized and track your progress.

Ahead of the July 17th launch of our marketplace for sign-ups, my advice would be to do the hard stuff especially when you do not feel like it. Resist and limit procrastination by listening to Nike and just do it and start whatever it is that you are not great at. Embrace the challenge while getting comfortable with the uncomfortable. This ultimately drives growth, improvement, efficiency, development, and progression toward what you're looking to do
