likely to procrastinate on if

you don’t do something

about it.”

Overcome

Procrastination

Simple ideas to practice over and

over until they become automatic.

1. Plan and organize your day in

advance. Set priorities.

2. Repeat over and over “Do it now. Do

it now. Do it now.”

3. Keep saying, “Back to work, back to

work, back to work.”

4. Use the Pareto Princple. 20% of the

task accounts for 80% of the value of

the task.
