Everyone should have faced a situation like the one below: I don’t want to work now, I’ll do it later. In the end, you procrastinate to work until the day before the deadline. As long as you do it later, it can become a nightmare for you. How can we tackle procrastination? Here are some helpful tips for you!

1. Developing Good Habits

Developing good habits is a good way to tackle procrastination. By creating habit-forming behaviours, you can save time in the decision-making and pay attention to important tasks. There is no way for you to procrastinate. For instance, Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook and Steve Jobs from Apple Inc.

From the above, you may notice them wearing the same outfit on every public occasion. They have numerous sets of the same outfit. The rationale behind this is to prevent daily trivial decision-making, from distracting themselves in dealing with important issues such as clients’ meetings.
