Hi,
Managing time effectively can help stop or reduce procrastination. What is the reason you are procrastinating? Is it because the task is boring or is it because the task is challenging. If the task is boring, reward yourself with positive reinforcement like gifting yourself something, or giving a treat for yourself or spending quality time with your friends. If the task is challenging, break into smaller chunks and do little at a time, slowly and steadily. Knowing the real reason why you are procrastinating will help stop procrastinating and will automatically bring discipline in your actions and habits.
Next Steps
you can consult a psychologist to help and guide to stop procrastination soon and finish work on time.
Health Tips
use time management tools to prioritise tasks and to schedule tasks.
