Yesterday I read about Procrastination in New Scientist. Today I'll show you how to defeat it. It's easy to get to the end of the day and not know what you've achieved. The best way to combat this in my view is write out at the start of the day a minimum number of tasks you'd like to have complete. At the end of the day review the list and anything you've not completed, write down on tomorrows list. Keep it to three maximum and start with real easy tasks. Like anything, in the early stages it's about training your habit. Once your comfortable and in a regular habit, then you can start with bigger and more ambitious tasks. They'll be days when you think "there's nothing I need to achieve today, I'll leave the list blank" this is a very bad idea indeed. Instead, just write one thing down, no matter how simple and review your list at the end of the day. Habit allows you to make mundane tasks easy, don't break the habit as you'll only make it harder to fall back in line.
