How to Stop Procrastinating
- Maintain a daily routine: a time to work, and a time to play
- Prepare in advance
- Prioritise the things to do according to the degree of "importance" and "urgency", and then complete them one by one
- Break overwhelming tasks into smaller, manageable parts and then complete them one by one
- Use self-talk to imagine the benefits and satisfaction of getting things done to drive yourself into action
- Try to strive for "good enough" rather than perfection. Remember: "Done is better than perfect"
