Part of the reason you procrastinate is you are so worried about how perfect the project has to be that you can't bring yourself to start. You fear rejection or harsh judgment. Accept the fact that an incomplete project or late project will be more criticized than anything you actually worked on and gave your full attention. If something needs to be done, just get started and do it. Change your attitude. "I hate this project." "I have no idea where to begin". There is no room for negativity in a success story. Stop saying those things or you will fail. Treat yourself to your favorite gourmet coffee drink as you sit down to start something you dread. Make it a habit to reward yourself for the start of something difficult so that you will start looking forward to the day, not dreading it. A good organized place to work is easy to come by and has a huge positive effect on your productivity and attitude. When you're focused and feeling good it will be easier to attack those pesky tasks that you might otherwise set aside. Limit the time wasters. Schedule certain times of day to review email, research the internet, play solitaire etc. All these things are essential to being healthy and productive but if not limited will steal your precious minutes away. Massive jobs can cause anxiety and procrastination. Smaller jobs are easy to get ahold of and finish quickly which leaves us with a feeling of accomplishment. So break those bigger jobs down into a smaller series that are more easily manageable and can keep you excited as they are completed. Work with a buddy. A like minded person with similar goals cheering you on and vice versa will go a long way toward keeping you both on track to success. The urge to procrastinate will never completely go away, but if you understand its origin and know how to fight it, you will experience increased productivity and success.
