This leads to a much more stressful life for several reasons, such as the things you leave build up, and begin to control your life. Also, you end up with many tasks that you don’t want to do, needing action, and each day that goes past means there is one less day to do them.

Some ways to reduce procrastination are the following:

·        Break up a large job into several smaller stages. Write them down and allocate time to them.

·        Hit the worst tasks first. That makes the better ones look like a reward that you have earned.

·        Give yourself a reward, such as an extended lunchtime after certain stages or at the end. Put this in the plan at the start of the job.
