29 Habits Keep Your Procrastination Away

We all procrastinate. Sometimes it’s not a bad thing, but it can turn into something evil and nasty
if we aren’t careful. Try these procrastination beating techniques to destroy this deadly foe once
and for all.

1. Get up and move

One of the best ways to “change the channel” of procrastination is to change your scenery. Rather
than
sit
in
front
of
your
computer
or
TV
all
day,
get
up,
do
some
stretches,
jog
in
place,
do
pushups, and move until your frame of mind has changed.

2. Setup reminders

Setup
a
daily
(or
hourly)
reminder
that
you
should
be
working
on
something
or
at
least
not
wasting your time (unless you have time to waste). You can also set up reminders that give you
motivational quotes.

3. Get a motivation buddy

There is nothing like having someone on your side when it comes to making your goals a reality.
If you start to slip into procrastination, your motivation buddy will get you back in the game.

4. Make yourself accountable

You can do this with people around you or even with your motivation buddy above. A great way is
to announce your change publicly and be vocal about it. Hit the social networks, your blog, write
letters, whatever it takes to make yourself more accountable to getting work done.

5. Create something everyday

No matter what it is. Artwork, photos, videos, a journal, some code, anything that gets you into a
creative mood and gets you working.

6. Wake up early

The nicest part about waking up early is that it is quiet and still. You can concentrate on a few big
tasks as soon as you get up and get a bunch of work done that would have taken many more hours
during the bustle of the day.

7. Go to sleep early

You can’t wake up early and work if you don’t get to sleep early. We need to r
echarge and being
tired is definitely a motivator to keep procrastinating.

8. Clean and clear as you go

Sometimes
we
see
how
big
a
mess
is
in
our
lives
and
rather
than
do
anything
about
it,
we
procrastinate.
If
you
spend
15
minutes
a
day
or
just
clean
and
clear
things
as
you
go
(email,
physical cleaning, tasks, etc.) the load of things to do isn’t as big.

9. Cut the cable

Sitting in front of your TV isn’t a good thing (all the time). Beat procrastination (as well as save
some money) by getting rid of your cable.

10. Just do it

We have all heard the excuses. So, rather than make up new ones, just hunker down and get to
work.

11. Schedule time blocks

If you know that some tasks are coming up as due and you have a lot of work to do on them, take
out your calendar and schedule some time blocks. This will give you a set time to work and help
you beat procrastination.

12. Follow a task list

It’s hard to get stuff done when you don’t know what to get done. Have a task list with you to
make sure that you have the right things to do at the right time.

13. Have a system

We recommend GTD, because, you know, it’s the best.

14. Don’t check email

One of the worst things that you can do when starting to “work” is check email. It will put you in
an “non
-
action”
mood. Instead, pull out your task list and work on a big task first. Check email
later.

15. Destroy social networks

Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, everything. Turn them off completely to beat procrastination. Focus
on the task at hand.

16. Time yourself

One good way to get to work is to set a specific time for yourself to work. Say, 25 minutes (ie.
Pomodoro Technique). After the set amount of time, rest and do whatever you want for a little bit.
Then work for a set of time again.

17. Track yourself

One
of
the
best
ways
to
know
where
you
are
spending
your
time
and
find
free
time
to
beat
procrastination
is
by
tracking
yourself.
There
are
a
host
of
apps
for
doing
this.
Find
your
weaknesses and change them.

18. Automate when you can

If you hate doing some menial on your computer then try to automate it whenever you can. It will
save you time and allow you to concentrate on more important, interesting things.

19. Create a playlist

Jam out to some music to beat procrastination. Create a “beating down procrastination to a pulp”
play list that puts you in a state of flow with your work.

20. Identify and face your fear

Most times, we are afraid of something when we procrastinate. Try to find your fear and and face
it. Then you can start creating and working.

21. Realize it will never be perfect

If
you
can’t
work
on
something
unless
it
is
perfect
then
you
should
find
a
way
to
leave
earth.
Nothing is perfect. Make something real and awesome. That will be great enough.

22. Become mindful

Know what you are do
ing at all times to beat procrastination. Don’t get stuck in a mindless rut of
web surfing, channel flipping, comment flaming, balderdash. Be aware of your surroundings.

23. Set “goals” for the day

At the beginning of each day identify a handful of things that you want to accomplish. Some say
three things. It depends on how large the tasks are. Set a limite for yourself and work on each of
them until they are done.

24. Give yourself a break

Don’t be too hard on yourself if you are having a tough time be
ating procrastination. Remember,
you are human and we love to sit and stew in our own uncompleted mess of work sometimes. Just
