7 simple strategies you can apply today to overcome procrastination

// THREAD //
1) Don& #39;t fear failure

Before even you start you fear failure.

At worst people are going to judge you but don& #39;t worry about it. If you are not trying to do something then that is the biggest failure.

Tweak your mindset as failures are only stepping stones for success.
2. Apply 5 sec rule

Don& #39;t take more than 5 secs to make your decision. Train your brain to decide within 5 seconds else mostly likely you become lazy to decide.

If you want to go to gym then think about the benefits & decide in less than 5 secs.

Train your brain to do it.
3. Eat that frog first

Do your most important and difficult task first thing in morning so you take away the pressure off your shoulders.

In morning your mind is fresh and you will have the focus and the energy to do things quickly.

It sets the tone for rest of the day.
4. Plan baby steps

Sometimes you don& #39;t feel like doing it. Break down your task into smaller baby steps which takes less than 5 mins to complete.

Say you want to build a website just make deciding the name task alone for the day and be consistent with baby steps.
5. Minimize distractions

Distractions are numerous these days and best way is to create routine which works for you.

Make distractions difficult to happen. Like keep your phone away in different room and turn off notifications everytime you start your work.
6. Timebox your research

Research is always a never ending task. You never know when to stop and there will be always new information.

Timebox your research say 1 hour for the task you are going to work on and don& #39;t go beyond that.

If you have 40% info start doing that task

Use social media wisely. People are really helpful and you have to ask for it.

Follow people on your niche and connect with them. This will also immensly help you to cut down your research time.

Don& #39;t reinvent the wheel.
