13 Ways to STOP Procrastinating

1. Make a To-Do list... prioritise, and follow it
2. Sort out your workspace. Clear it up, consolidate it, and get rid of the distractions
3. Schedule time for email, social media etc. and don't go near them at other times
4. Anticipate problems and interruptions to allow for the fact that you may not have as long as you think
5. Get Realistic - Keep a log of how long things really take, instead of how long you imagine they might take
6. Break a large project down into manageable parts instead of waiting until you have enough time to do it all
7. Even if you only have 5 minutes available, do something that needs to be done
8. If you really want to do something but just don't have the time, find the time
9. If the first step is too hard to start on, get started on another step just to get the ball rolling, or...
10. ... do the hardest part first to break the back of it
11. Set yourself deadlines and milestones, and reward yourself in some small way as you tick them off
12. Tell someone else what your deadline is
13. Consider delegating, or swap tasks with someone who is procrastinating over something they hate doing
