How to Stop Procrastinating (Without Forcing Yourself)

Procrastination isn’t about laziness, it’s often just overwhelm or distraction in disguise. Here are 5 simple strategies to beat it:

Break big tasks into tiny steps – Make the next move so easy you can’t ignore it.
Set soft (fake) deadlines – Friendly pressure helps you take action without stress.
Cut distractions ruthlessly – Airplane mode + timer = instant focus zone.
Focus on the feeling after finishing – That “I did it” moment? Chase it.
Reward yourself for progress – Even small wins deserve celebration.

You don’t need more willpower you need a better system. Start small. Start now.
