While there are many reasons why we procrastinate, there are a number of things that can be done to help overcome this thief of time.
- Face the fear that's holding you back so that you can begin to move forward. Believe that you can do it.
- Make a list of what you need to accomplish. Estimate the time each task will take and assign a 'by when' date.
- Break the task down into manageable sections - a staple in many an organizing project.
- Make a date with yourself to work on the task. Be sure to mark it on your calendar.
- Practice the 3 Rs: repeat techniques until they feel natural; replace the bad habit with a good habit; reward yourself for completing the task.
