🛑 How Can I Stop Procrastination?
I found a few helpful tips from Ray's LIVE on what we can do if we hold off on taking action.
💡 1. Understand why you procrastinate
Procrastination isn’t laziness — it’s usually avoidance. You might be:
✅ Overwhelmed by the size of the task 😰
✅ Afraid of failing 😟
✅ Bored or unmotivated 😴
✅ Distracted by easier or more pleasurable things 📱
👉 Identify which one fits you. Awareness is the first step to fixing it.

🧩 2. Break it down
Big tasks feel impossible.
So instead of “build my website,” say:
✅ Write headline (10 mins)
✅ Add photo (5 mins)
✅ Write intro paragraph (15 mins)
Small wins build momentum, and momentum kills procrastination.
---
⏳ 3. Use the 2-5 Minute Rule
✅ If it takes less than two minutes — do it right now.
✅ And if a task feels too big, start it for just two - five minutes.
You’ll often keep going once you begin.
---
📅 4. Schedule it — don’t just plan to “do it later”
Decide when and where you’ll do it.
Example:
✅ “I’ll write the email at 10:00 AM at my desk.”
Your brain respects appointments more than vague intentions.
---
🔕 5. Eliminate distractions
✅ Turn off notifications, put your phone in another room, or use a focus timer app.
✅ Every distraction resets your focus, and regaining it takes time.
---
💪 6. Focus on progress, not perfection
✅ Many people delay because they want to do it perfectly.
✅ Start messy — you can improve later.
Progress builds confidence.
---
🧠 7. Reward yourself
✅ After finishing a task, treat yourself — a walk, snack, or short scroll.
Rewards reinforce action and make your brain want to start next time.
