How to Stop Procrastination [Life Hacks]


I used to procrastinate in my daily life a lot. In fact, I used to keep my entire tasks till the last minute and just did the important ones very poorly in a hectic manner. However, after reading a great mini-guide by Leo Babauta of Zen Habits about coping with procrastination few months back, I ended up doing my tasks absolutely on time without any sort of stress.

Below are three important highlights from "Dead Simple Guide to Beating Procrastination" as Leo calls it, that helped me beat procrastination:
  • Make it the first thing you do today, before checking email or anything else.
  • Just get started. Overcome the initial barrier by diving in.
  • Forget about perfection. Just start doing it, and fix it later.
