Six ways to stop procrastinating

From the Lifehack.org article: 6 Reasons on Why You are Procrastinating?

I felt the author was procrastinating on giving me the six ways to stop procrastinating, so I just pulled them out right here:
  1. Break the project down into smaller components and tackle each component individually.
  2. Implement a reward system for the completion of an unpleasant task.
  3. Make a list of all of your tasks and rank them in order of importance. Then, set a goal of completing a certain number of tasks in the next four hours. After four hours, evaluate your progress and reassess the situation based on the remaining tasks.
  4. Set aside some time each day specifically for the purpose of making decisions and set a timeline for yourself to complete the decision-making process.
  5. Visualize yourself succeeding in the project and imagine the steps that you will need to take in order to succeed. Once you have visualized the steps, it is time to act on them.
  6. Set up your workspace to minimize distractions and schedule time to converse with your coworkers.
See? Easy. No try. Just do. Now, stop procrastinating!
