5. Get someone else´s help to stop procrastination. Ask someone to hold you accountable for completion of a task you have been procrastinating about.

For example, if you are putting off cleaning garage ask you wife to question you about when it will be completed several days before due date.

6. Do easiest or most enjoyable task first so that you get off to a good start. This works for some people while opposite works for others. Some people like to get unpleasant work out of way so they can enjoy rest.

7. Giving yourself a deadline can stop procrastination.

Procrastination should not be something you should live with. Successful people do not tend to procrastinate, instead, they stop procrastination because they know what needs to get done must get done.

It is not because they necessarily enjoy unpleasant tasks which others procrastinate about but rather strength of their desire for success is greater than their desire to procrastinate.

Procrastination should not be a hindrance to achieving your goal. Take a moment to recognize signs and do something to overcome it and stop procrastination.

If you begin by rewarding yourself for small successes and stop punishing yourself when you do procrastinate you will be able to develop new habits that, in time, will help stop procrastination.

This first exercise is simple, but since most people have horrible concentration, it's good to start small. Each time you eat, smply count number of number of times you chew your food before you swallow.

Throughout week, build up to chewing your food 32 times before you swallow. You'll probably find your mind wandering and losing count. That's ok. Just start over from 1 with each new bite.

Again, start off slow and build upon ths concentration builder for week 2. You'll see your concentration noticeably improving as you do. Start by picking a number from 3 - 6. Whenver you are walking anywhere, simply count your steps. For instance, if you pick number 4, it goes like this step. 1...step. 2.....step 3.....step. 4 and start over at 1. If you find your mind wandering, no need to beat yourself up. Just gently go back to focusing on counting your steps.

Practice these concentration builders over next 2 weeks and watch your concentration gradually improve and your productivity reach new heights.
