So remember whenever you have a small task to do. Remind yourself that it's only gonna take 2 minutes to finish then get up and do it! Now to the big tasks! The main reason we procrastinate is because we focus on short term gratifications When we do that we consider the gratification of the big task so far that it's easier to distract ourselves with anything now instead of just starting on that task So in order to get over this we have to cut the big task into smaller and easier ones and with each small task done we feel gratification that keeps us on track For example let's look at the task of making a website article I cut the task into 4 steps The First step is Research The Second is Writing the Script The Third is Recording the Script The last is the Animation There's actually a lot more than that to do but these are just the main steps After making your big task into smaller and easier tasks like this now you can focus on one at a time But if it still feels like a lot to you then you can cut each of these tasks even further For example if you want to read a book you can make it into very small tasks of reading 1 page at a time and you can also do this with time for example reading for 20 to 30 minutes each time like the pomodoro technique When you set a timer for 25 minutes and start working on your task until the timer goes off then take a short break and repeat Personally i like to focus on the task without setting setting a timer but you can do whatever works for you One last advice for you guys is that don't just read the article and tell yourself i'll apply the techniques tomorrow or next week because trust me if you do that you'll never try it and if you never try it how is it going to work?
