By putting off your tasks, you only make things worse. So draw up a timetable and get started - now!
You know you have a project to complete, but you just can't seem to knuckle down to it. We know that putting something off doesn't help us. It only makes things worse by stressing us out - but knowing this makes us procrastinate more. Procrastination is an ugly habit many of us fall into. You need to stop this vicious cycle by using your time more effectively, and getting your tasks done sooner.
Set yourself up for success
Decide exactly what it is that you want to accomplish. Clarity is essential. If it is a certain career that you wish to have, or even something such as a project that you need to hand in at school, create a picture in your mind of what it should look like - and then write down what comes to mind in the form of goals and objectives.
Make a plan
When you make a step-by-step plan, you are setting a specific schedule and timeline to complete the task. Write this plan down on paper. Writing this list will help you better organise your thoughts and determine the small steps you need to take to accomplish your goals. Give yourself attainable tasks on a daily, weekly or hourly timetable, depending on your situation. You are less likely to be overwhelmed when you're faced with small, manageable steps.
Be realistic
