Introduction

Procastination is one of the most common productivity challenges in the world. It’s also a problem that can be overcome with some simple strategies and tools.

Create a schedule.

If you’re having trouble getting work done, it might be because you haven’t really been putting any effort into creating a schedule. If this is the case, then here are some tips for creating a good one:

• Set aside time each day or week to work on specific projects that are important to you. This can include writing blog posts and completing reports related to your job as well as editing videos or photos that would go online once they’re ready (if this applies).
• Avoid distractions—including social media apps like Facebook and Twitter—while working on these tasks at hand so that they don’t interfere with their completion! If possible, try making them part of an “unbreakable” rule such as no phone calls during break time unless they’re emergencies; otherwise just make sure not too many people can see what site/app etc., before/after breaks

Set aside time to work on projects that are important to you.

Set aside time each day to work on projects that are important to you. This will help you feel more like a productive member of society, and it will also make sure that you’re not wasting your time by trying to do too much at once. To set aside this time, all you have to do is make sure that there’s enough space in your calendar for these blocks of time—and then stick with them! If one day doesn’t seem like enough for one project, add another block later in the week or month when possible; this way you can get more done without feeling rushed or overwhelmed by everything else going on around them.”

Avoid distractions.

• Avoid distractions.
• Focus on what you are doing.
• Don’t check your phone, read emails and social media, watch television or eat or drink when you are trying to work. Avoid going to the bathroom as well if possible (it can be very distracting).

Follow the Pomodoro technique.

The Pomodoro technique is a time management technique that has been around for over 30 years. It’s based on the idea that you should be working in short bursts of 25 minutes, separated by five-minute breaks. If you’re familiar with the concept of ‘pomodoro’ (also known as an Italian tomato), this may sound familiar—it means tomato in Italian. But there’s more to it than just tomatoes!

The basic idea behind this method is to focus your attention on one thing at a time and then move on when your brain starts getting distracted by other thoughts or feelings. By breaking up tasks into smaller chunks and taking frequent breaks, we can keep ourselves focused during longer periods of time without getting overwhelmed by our own thoughts or feelings about what we need to accomplish next.

Use an app or other tool to track your progress, or write down what you were working on before and after your break.

Use an app or other tool to track your progress, or write down what you were working on before and after your break.

If you’re looking for a way to keep track of how much time each day is spent working, head over to the “Break” section of Toggl (or another similar service), which has a built-in timer that allows you to set up different breaks in order to track them. The idea of this app is that instead of setting yourself up for failure by saying “I will only work for 1 hour today,” it gives users more flexibility about their time management by letting them set their own goals and then checking off when those goals are achieved.

Another great option is RescueTime, an app designed specifically for tracking productivity in general but also great at helping people overcome procrastination issues like procastination! The first thing I did when using this tool was set up my own personal productivity goals so that there would be no confusion as far as what should be expected from myself during each day’s work session—and then once I had done so (and felt comfortable), I started having fun tracking my progress toward these goals every day through RescueTime itself!

Make sure you’re getting enough sleep, particularly on the weekends.

Sleep is important for health, productivity and mood. It also helps you think clearly and stay calm. If you’re not getting enough sleep, your chances of procrastinating increase because of reduced memory and creativity.

The good news is that there are steps you can take to improve your sleep quality—even if it’s not perfect yet!

Planning ahead and using tools such as procastination trackers can help you overcome procrastination

Planning ahead and using tools such as procastination trackers can help you overcome procrastination. When you plan, you are more likely to stick with your task until it’s done. If a project is important, make sure that you set aside time each day or week for it so that when the deadline approaches, there is no question about whether or not you will complete it.

Another way to avoid procrastinating is by prioritizing your tasks according to their importance in relation to others (e.g., A > B > C). This will help ensure that important work gets done before less-important work does; so if one project takes longer than expected due to unforeseen circumstances—like being on vacation—it may be best not even start on this other item until after finishing what needs doing first!

Conclusion

Procastination can be really frustrating, but it’s not something you have to live with forever. We hope that this article has given you some ideas for how to overcome procrastination and boost productivity in your life.
