101 Tips For Overcoming Procrastination and LazinessFlavian Mwasi
Procrastination happens to the best of us, whether you’re Donald Trump or the Queen of England. If you ask a thousand people how many among them are procrastinators, almost every hand would go up.
Procrastination is the habit of perpetually postponing activities that are more profitable and urgent in preference to less profitable and useless ones. This is also the habit of doing pleasurable or “less boring” activities in place of those that are less pleasurable and boring, while delaying impending productive tasks for a later time, “last minute’’, or even indefinitely.
Procrastination is the opposite of ideal productivity.
Procrastination is thriving in today's technological age. The vast majority of the population avoids doing what they intend to do but are never fully committed to achieving: their dreams, objectives, and even some of their commitments, by not paying attention, getting ready to get ready, surfing the Web, playing computer games, and watching the electronic income reducer (that is, television).
Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms have given us a whole new way to stay connected—and a whole new reason to procrastinate.
This eBook contains 101 power-packed nuggets to help you overcome procrastination, become productive, and eventually eliminate it once and for all, breaking the chains of this evil devil that has tormented our beloved race for thousands of years.
This document discusses how killing time is unproductive and prevents you from achieving your goals. It recommends practicing effective time management by prioritizing important tasks, making to-do lists, and taking short breaks. Specifically, it suggests tackling the hardest tasks first to get them out of the way, listing tasks in order of urgency, and scheduling 10-15 minute breaks to recharge your focus. Effective time management is a habit that allows you to be more productive each day and take advantage of opportunities.

Eat that Frog!
Learn how to stop procrastinating high value tasks that can move your life forward. This book discusses the importance of goal setting, creative procrastination, time management and creating priority ranking for all of your tasks.
This slideshow is a comprehensive overview of Brian Tracy's book Eat That Frog! The basic premise of Eat That Frog is that we should focus on the highest payback, least-appealing task of the day FIRST, before anything else. He asserts that "your ability to select your most important task at each moment, and then to start on that task and get it done both quickly and well, will probably have more of an impact on your success than any other quality or skill you can develop!”
According to the author, an average person who masters this one technique will run circles around a genius who talks a lot and makes wonderful plans, but gets very little done. (I know somebody like this, don’t you?)
Furthermore, he says that "The ability to concentrate on this one important task, single-mindedly, to do it well, and to finish it completely is the key to great success, achievement, status and happiness in life.”
Let's all go eat that frog!
I love Brian Tracy's use of quotes in the book, and have included many of them in the slideshow.
If you're looking to be more productive, stop procrastinating the important stuff (We can all use less procrastination, right?), start procrastinating more creatively (I like the sound of that!), and reach the goals you have yet to attain, I highly recommend utilizing this information!

2. "I'm too spontaneous to
stick to a plan."
Make plans, stick to them, and form a
habit of being productive at certain
times.
3. " I'll answer these
emails in the meeting
and write the proposal
while fielding calls
from clients."
Multitasking confuses your brain and
slows you down. Concentrate on the
task at hand
4. "I don't think I need an
app for that!"
Embrace technology. Automate tasks
and processes, get more work done.
5. "I can't afford to take a
break right now."
Take breaks. After 90 - 120 minutes of
work, the quality of work output
decreases dramatically.
6. "I need to check email
for the eighth time
today."
Constant distraction suppresses your
ability to focus on your priority.
Relegate email checking to only twice
or thrice a day.
7. "I wonder what the
Twitterati are up to"
Social media is a massive distraction
that interrupts your flow of thought.
8. "It's better I do it myself
than delegate."
Delegate work, trust people to do it
right, and prevent being
overburdened and stressed.
9. "This is too much work,
I'll deal with this with a
fresh mind tomorrow."
Eat the biggest frog first. Don't
procrastinate tough jobs.
10. "I won't be able to sleep
until I get this done."
According to research by Harvard, for
the average worker, lack of sleep
leads to the loss of 11.3 days' worth of
productivity equivalent of $2,280,
each year.
11. "I'll eat healthier
starting this 'Monday.''
Food has a direct impact on our
cognitive performance. A poor
decision at lunch can derail an entire
afternoon.
12. "I find peace in chaos."
Declutter your desk, declutter your
mind
13. "I just can't find the
time to exercise!"
You will be 21% more productive if
you can get even a little bit of daily
exercise.
14. "Yes, I'll work on that extra
project. Will I help you with
your work? Yes, of course!
Stay late tomorrow? Sure, I
can stretch a little."
Saying "no" means you have time to
focus on your own tasks and projects,
rather than responding to requests.
15. "This still needs some
more work."
Perfection kills productivity. Stop
overthinking. Done is better than
perfect.
