6 Tips to End Procrastination Almost all of us falls into the trap of procrastinating. But the things we aren’t doing won't get done themselves. Here are 6 tips to help you overcome putting things off. 1. Timing really is everything Schedule tasks for the time of day in which you know you’re more likely to have the energy to do them. 2. Think of that huge task as a bunch of little ones instead. Completing “sub-tasks” can help you build the confidence to see a complex endeavor to the end. 3. Reward yourself along the way Enjoying the day is essential to productivity, so schedule little diversions to help shift your mindset and keep you motivated. 4. Minimize distraction and multitasking Shutting off notifications and focusing on one task at a time can help you feel the satisfaction of getting things done. 5. Consult a professional If procrastinating is significantly affecting your life, a professional can help you manage deeper issues. 6. Take care of yourself A little exercise, good eating habits and proper sleep will help you even on those days when you hit a wall.
