the “forced urgency” approach works wonders for me. EVERYTIME. especially because of my competitive nature, i like to give myself a 10 minute deadline on something that takes an hour for example, the next thing you know the kid in me gets excited and actually tries to get it done within 10 minutes. even though its impossible, guess what, at least you did the hardest part of any project….you started!!!

Jon,
Thanks for stopping by and for the extremely encouraging comment. Being a person with a variety of interests and bag full of aims and goals at any given time, procrastination has been a constant companion. This article was my attempt at putting down the most down-to-earth and practical steps I often use to overcome the problem. I can’t say I am always triumphant, but it gets a lot better with practice and you also learn to realise when the procrastination is just an internal sign that you are missing something before you can move on.

I’m very glad to hear it struck a cord, and I do hope the tips here help you move past procrastination as an obstacle to all the things you want to do. All the best with your endeavours and I hope you will drop by here again and leave a note about your progress in time.

Thanks again for your kind words,
Samir

Samir,

I just wanted to thank you very much for putting this list together and for taking the time to share your obvious wisdom with procrastinators like myself.

I’ve been a chronic procrastinator most of my life, and although I’ve been to many a ‘how to stop procrastinating’ website, your blog has really struck a chord with me like nothing I have ever read has done before.

I will do my best to follow all your tips. It gives me hope that I can overcome this obstacle in my life.

Thank you again for being awesome. =)

– Jon

Thanks for this great list, Sam! As a writer, I am about halfway through my first novel and now I’ve fallen into a deep procrastination hole! I let other things, like work and school get in the way, and now I’ve foudn that I’ve lost all momentum to continue and finish what I think could be a great story. I need to get off my ass (pardon my French) and get it done already! This list is inspiring. Thanks again!

Hello André,

Happy to help. You’re right, procrastination doesn’t ever go away and it is a continuous effort to negate it’s effects. Thanks for sharing your experiences here. It’s always good to hear personal stories about these things.
