Here's how you can conquer procrastination and consistently meet deadlines.

There is a saying: recognizing a problem is the first step to solving it. I will add - the first and necessary one, without this step the solution is generally impossible If you are honest with yourself, you will easily admit to yourself that you are a procrastinator. You shouldn’t scold yourself and reproach yourself, just admit that this is so. This is the perfect start for change.

Break tasks into smaller steps. Set specific deadlines for each step. Use time management techniques like the Pomodoro Technique. Minimize distractions. Stay accountable, maybe with a friend or colleague. Reward yourself for meeting deadlines.

Business doesn't care about your feelings The only thing business cares about -> is getting meaningful things done in the right order If there is a task in the back of your head, literally haunting you to do it Well that my friend means you are procrastinating and the faster you get it out of your head The faster you will have a clear thought about other things that also need doing!

The key is set clear and achieavable goals, within short term Don’t set distant and vague goals - “I want to get in shape” or “I want to increase sales” Set simple, close and understandable goals - “Hold X meetings in a week”, “Do exercises 6 times a week for a month” You'll feel better completing them and getting your quick win.

Em minhas experiências executivas tanto em corpora??es, onde or?amentos e metas têm ciclos anuais, quanto em startups, onde é prática comum ter ciclos curtos inspirados na metodologia dos OKRs, n?o tenho dúvida de que a segunda abordagem é a melhor. Por isso, recomendo que todas as corpora??es trabalhem para implantar a cultura de ser uma grande startup. Os ciclos curtos e a capacidade de se reprogramar rapidamente a partir do aprendizado com os erros permitem que as metas sejam rapidamente realocadas conforme a realidade. Isso evita as famosas metas inatingíveis que ninguém tem coragem de discutir com o conselho. Essa abordagem reduz custos para a organiza??o e acelera seu desenvolvimento.

From experience It’s important to start; often we don’t start tasks because they seem huge and impossible. Therefore, at first, set tasks as small and simple as possible, so that you can start working by completing simple tasks

"Eating a frog" is a great approach, but not all of us would like to start the day with undesirable items, right? So my advice is, before you “eat the frog”, complete 1-2 simple preliminary tasks, this will switch your mind to victory mode and "eating the frog" will be much easier.

We always avoid big and hard things and the truth is If we do the big and hard things first, every other task after that will be so easy Because you know how hard was to do the first one! Also the big assignments are prone to getting pushed back because of their difficulty Also if we don't have enough time in the day to finish it we for sure are not going to do them at all! So eat the frog and get on with your business!

Remember the power of quick wins Plan your tasks in such a way as to achieve quick results, reward yourself for this. From experience, it’s a good idea to count streaks - for example, how many days in a row have you completed at least 5 tasks from the plan. And celebrate every new day in a streak with your favourite coffee.

Procrastination can be an indication of non-urgent tasks. The urgency and timeliness of individual tasks can change over time. The respective tasks and deadlines should therefore be regularly reviewed and adjusted. Project management software can help to keep an eye on upcoming, urgent and non-urgent tasks and their current deadlines.

Recently I started implementing working sessions instead of a meeting. If there is something that can be accomplished using collaborative tool and end the 30 minute or 45 minute session accomplishing a deliverable or task it’s a win and it’s great to celebrate these moments with others because it boosts their mental motivation

To conquer procrastination, break tasks into smaller, manageable steps. Set specific deadlines for each step, prioritizing them based on importance. Eliminate distractions, create a conducive work environment, and reward yourself for completing tasks on time. Stay accountable by sharing deadlines with others and tracking progress regularly.

Just do *something* to get started. For many people, the hardest part of overcoming procrastination is taking the first steps. Here’s a simple approach that may help: Pick something that will take no more than a few minutes to complete. Choosing to do little things at the beginning can help you to build momentum. Develop a habit of action that doesn’t focus on the end result. As you create this routine of action and reward, you can start to string multiple actions together for greater accomplishment and reward.
