How to Overcome Procrastination?

1) First thing you should do is to view and focus on the dateline of that job.
If we can create an anxiety about the dateline, then all of our energy will be focused on the result (which can make us work fast without have to wait longer). However, if we are not anxious about the dateline, all of our anxiety will be directed to the creative part. In other words, our time and effort will be wasted on non-most-priority task.


2) Secondly, by creating the sense of accountability (and fear) !
In this case, we should imagine our self being pushed to give sudden presentation in front of big audience. When we are able to create this feeling, we would then light fire under our ass to carry out the task as fast and as perfect as possible. Again, all of this can happen provided that you have the strong feeling of not wanting to disappoint a large number of our expectant audiences (by not completing our task in time).


3) Thirdly, by focusing on the concrete task (than the abstract task). We also have to break the project down into smaller concrete tasks. Studies have shown that any concrete physical things that resulted from the working progress can multiply the person's effort and focus to complete the job. Therefore, you should (physically or psychologically) be able to be as creative as possible to transform any of your abstract tasks into concrete parts. 


4) Fourthly, by working on that project a little bit each day.  By this, its mean that we should start as soon as it is assigned! ! (1 hour or so, is fine). After making your starting move, you can stop working and do other things. You just have to come back to that project every day for a small amount of efforts and little bit of continuation. By doing this, you will be having a progress over time although in slow momentum. Moreover, it should be noted that once your brain start to work on a specific problem or project, it doesn’t stop.

Thus, the most important point is that, you just need to pull yourself to do the task now despite of unbearable small amount of effort as you can imagine. :)
