Productivity_Boosting_Methods_For_The_Positive_Mind

Consider why you procrastinate: Are you afraid of flunking at the task? Are you a perfectionist and only willing to start working after every little element is in place? Are you easily disturbed? Break up a big, hard project into several smaller pieces. Tackle each piece individually. Set deadlines for completion.
Attempt assigning yourself modest deadlines ' for instance, commit to reading a particular number of pages in the next hour. Work in little blocks of time rather than in long stretches. Try working in one - to two hour spurts, letting yourself have a small break after each stretch. Do away with distractions or move to a place where you are able to concentrate. Switch off the TV, the phone ringer, the radio and anything else that may keep you from your task.
