WAYS I USED TO AVOID PROCRASTINATION

^{Thinking whether to postpone the work or not}
There are numerous ways which one can used to avoid Procrastination, below are some of the few ways i used to avoid Procrastination;

1. ELIMINATE DISTRACTION: This is one of the main way of Avoiding Procrastination, anytime am working or doing something important i always make sure i get rid of distractions like offing my data or i turn off my phone entirely so that i won't be distracted or i turn ON my airplane mode then put on my earphone and listen to music.

2. PROPER PLANNING: This really helps in avoiding procrastination, that's why in the evening before i go to bed i will plan out how my tomorrow will be like, by writing down the things i will do and the time to do it.
   And with these i won't have to postpone any task cause i will be doing it one after the other.

3. HANGING OUT WITH PEOPLE WHO INSPIRE ME TO TAKE ACTION: This always helps me in avoiding procrastination, cause anytime am with my friends then doing a particular task, anytime I'm tired and i want to postpone the task to another day, they always motivate me to continue doing it.
