2. What is the problem?
Procrastination is the huge problem
• Why Is It A Problem ?
• Procrastination is your worst enemy.
There is nothing more damaging to
your concentration and true potential
than going around in circles and
making excuses about not getting
down to real work and it also makes
you feel guilty about not having started
your work, especially if it is urgent.

5. How to fix this
• The best way to avoid this
problem is to give a small amount
of your time to start the task. This
will trigger your imagination, draw
your attention and soon you will
be entirely involved in the project.
If that doesn’t help, try breaking
the task into manageable pieces.
That will also help you with time
tracking and will leave you with a
clear overview of how much time
you will need to accomplish it.
