Stop Procrastinating Now!

Web Worked Daily: "Everyone procrastinates, but when you’re in the grip of a procrastination funk, it can feel like you’re destined to spend the entire day reorganizing your bookmarks and cleaning up your contacts in a sham of “productive work.” When you’re a one-man-band, you create your own deadlines, and there’s not always someone to look over my shoulder and tell you to get back to work. So I’ve developed a foolproof strategy to pull myself together and get back on track."

I find procrastination to be such a big problem for my self and for basically everyone else. I agree with the author on the reasoning of procrastination, too busy wanting time for self or the task is too hard. Breaking the task down seems like a decent way to stop procrastinating along with taking short breaks. And getting started is always a helpful tip. I should probably follow that one now to get other projects done...

Procrastination is definitely something everyone struggles with. For example, I'm procrastinating right now, I'm supposed to be working on a research paper, but instead I chose to do blog comments. Step one complete! Anyways, its nice to have someone break down the steps to try and conquer procrastination, even though it is something that's really challenging to overcome.
