Read the book, “Solving the Procrastination Puzzle”.
Procrastination is a psychological issue. You won’t solve it with a “To Do” list.
Highlights of the book that worked for me:
1. Forgive yourself for past procrastination
2. Goal setting and task breakdown - break larger tasks into smaller chunks
3. Identify the unpleasant feelings and thoughts associated with a task causing you to procrastinate
4. Realize you won’t feel more like doing it later (the procrastinator’s lie)
5. Just get started
#5 is the most powerful for me. We often have feelings that a task will be more difficult and more unpleasant than it really is. Just getting started corrects that.
