We all procrastinate from time to time, sometimes we may not even realize we're doing it cause we create reasons in our head that supply us with enough logic that we can delay the task at hand. For example, you have a deadline for a specefic project. Instead of doing your work, you are fiddling with unnecessary things like checking emails, social media, watching videos, or sleeping. You know you should be working but you just don't feel like doing anything because you keep on giving yourself a reason to delay your work and you keep on trusting yourself that you believe you can do this, until such time you came to a point and it's too late. We starting to panic and wish we got started earlier, this will results to cramming which we know that it's not good to our health. I, myself also is a constant procrastinator, I do my work on the day of deadline, and I tell you! it's really hard to resist. It will keep on cycling through our life and it's really a bad habit that eats away and prevents us from achieving greater results in life. Until one day, I just realize that procrastination don't pay us benefits instead it makes us impotent like useless beings so, I started to find some ways on how to avoid procrastination.

Don't let procrastination take over your life. Here are some ways which I use to overcome procrastination with great success.

1.) WRITE DOWN YOUR WORK AND GIVE YOURSELF A DEADLINE

It means that, plan your work ahead of time, how would you do it with specific deadline. Make sure you make your own personal deadline diferent from the deadline of submission meaning ahead from the submission or the published of the work.

2.) BREAK YOUR WORK INTO SMALLER STEPS

The bigger the work, the more chancees of procrastination. Dealing with vast work sound so tiring which tempt you to procrastinate so to avoid it, divide your work into smaller stuffs and slowly do it constantly in order to lessen stress and minimize procrastinate. Take it slow and constantly do it until you will not notice you had already finished your work without much pressure. For me, working with smaller work will enhance one's productivity and trigger life's ability.

3.) VISUALIZE THE FUTURE YOU WANT

For you to do your work well and to avoid boring, set some inspirations for you to strive harder. Your vision for the future would do, just picture out what you want after you finished your job, you may reward yourself or just take a break. By that, you can get energy and willingness to do you activity.

4.) REWARD PROGRESS

Set up a reward system to ensure you celebrate progress and small successes as you go along. Whether a fun activity with friends, or a treat for yourself, make it something that acknowledges your progress and effort to maintain your attitude in working your job and also to enhance productivity. This step can be th result after dealing your work.

5.) DISCIPLINE YOURSELF

Most importantly, you must know how to discipline yourself. You must fully recognize your attitude and characters based on how you interact to a certain responsibility. Only you can change yourself and only you can discipline it, if you want you can and if you don't you can force yourself depends on how you discipline your life.
