5 Procrastination Busters
1. Be a list maker. Write down the things you've got to finish, so even if you shuffle them around, they will get done.
2. Pick one task, and give it 10 minutes. By the time you start to focus, you'll be “into it” and willing to keep going.
3. Think about the potential financial savings. Driving on an expired license can cost as much as $250, failing to renew your passport in time can ruin a vacation. Save 100 bucks if, just once, you sign up for a conference before the “early bird discount” expires.
4. Delegate. What's an hour of your time worth? More than a basket of laundry. Drop off your laundry when you go out for an errand, and pick it up the next night.
5. Stop trying to be perfect. Be willing to settle for “done.”
