The more realistic you become about what you can complete, the less likely you&#8217;ll be to procrastinate.<br \/>\n\u2022 Choose the easiest place first &#8212;<br \/>\nYou don&#8217;t always have to start at the most dreaded project. If that first step seems the most challenging, start with another part of the project instead.<br \/>\n\u2022 Create your workspace \u2013 Make it convenient and simple. Clear a table from clutter to work on. You may just want to purge papers or file them.<br \/>\n\u2022 Create more time &#8212;<br \/>\nTime is relative and short. If it seems like there really is no time, cut out a half hour or so from your existing schedule. If you really want to start doing yoga for a half an hour, you can start doing it.<br \/>\n\u2022 Use the minutes that are available to you &#8212;<br \/>\nRemember that even 10 minutes is enough time to get something done. A bill can be paid on line or a call returned.<br \/>\n\u2022 Reward yourself &#8212;<br \/>\nAfter you meet small deadlines, promise yourself a small treat. When the entire project is complete then possibly a larger reward.<br \/>\n\u2022 Getting motivated to started &#8212;<br \/>\nThe hardest part is getting started. Set an alarm on your cell phone for 15 minutes for the task at a time that you have free time. You will likely find that once you actually get started your momentum will increase and you\u2019ll want to do more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EIGHT WAYS TO STOP PROCRASTINATING Things to do to get the mission complete \u2022 Create a To-Do list &#8212; Prioritize by what bothers you the most \u2013&gt; then cross or check it off when you completed it. \u2022 Be realistic about your To-Do list and what you can actually do &#8212; Procrastinators sense of time &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seattle-organizers.com\/Organizing-Tips\/tips\/eight-ways-to-stop-procrastinating\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;EIGHT WAYS TO STOP PROCRASTINATING&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seattle-organizers.com\/Organizing-Tips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seattle-organizers.com\/Organizing-Tips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seattle-organizers.com\/Organizing-Tips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seattle-organizers.com\/Organizing-Tips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seattle-organizers.com\/Organizing-Tips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.seattle-organizers.com\/Organizing-Tips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seattle-organizers.com\/Organizing-Tips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seattle-organizers.com\/Organizing-Tips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seattle-organizers.com\/Organizing-Tips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
