Minimizing Procrastination,
Using Your Time Effectively

 
Minimizing Procrastination

If you're not working on a project, even though it's urgent and/or important, you should ask “why?”

Do you think the work will be unpleasant?  does the project seem overwhelming, impossible for you to finish or do well?  are you having any doubts about whether you should do it?

After you “think about your thinking`” to discover what is causing your delay, you can plan a strategy for action (to end the procrastination) so you'll have good timing that lets you take advantage of opportunities while they're still available.
