Procrastination is probably the thing that I consider myself to be the most skilled at.

I have ability to find so many other things to do rather than the thing I’m supposed to do. I don’t know how I manage to fill my day and do nothing. It’s like a bad relationship that you know you should get out of but just don’t have the energy. It’s time to stop so here are some ways to move on from your relationship with the long finger.

Recognise that you have a problem. You might feel like you are achieving so much but if you wrote down what you’ve done in a day, does it give you a sense of satisfaction?
Know that you can change. It’s not part of your personality, it does not define you. You can make a choice. ‘I will achieve great things today’ can become your affirmation or mantra. If this doesn’t work for you, change it to something that does. Let’s do it!
Write a list of the things you want to do and then put them in the order of importance or difficulty.
Be realistic with the number of things on the list and the amount of time you have. You are not going to complete the assignment, learn French and paint the house in one day.
Start with the most important or difficult. The sense of achievement you feel from ticking that one off your list will motivate you to tick more.
Tick more. The more you do, the easier it gets to keep moving to the end of the list.
Reward yourself. You ticked well.
