- karambir 15y agohere are my two principles that i always keep in mind to stop procrastination: --> Start with the hardest part first. You'll attack it while you're energetic and enthusiastic. Encourage yourself by knowing that all the rest of the job will be easier. --> Avoid saying yes. Don't start taking on too many tasks at once. Be sure you really have the time. Don't work on a project if you're tired, in a distracting location or not thinking ahead.
