Avoid procrastination

The only way to avoid procrastination is to do the project at hand. To do the project at hand you have to become motivated.

Ask yourself the following questions:

• why am I doing this?
• what if I don't do this?
• what will happen if I do this later?

If you answer these questions honestly, you will realize the importance of beginning your task now.

Reward and punish yourself

At the completion of your task have a reward ready to give yourself. If you fail to complete the project, deny yourself that reward.

Scare yourself

Remember there is nobody here to hold your hand. If you fail to complete your tasks, you will fail. The fault and consequences will be yours alone. It is much easier to have fun when there are no projects in the back of your mind. Finish your projects so your fun time will be more enjoyable.
