•Motivate yourself by keeping in mind why you need to complete this task, of what problem you would get rid off? Or what will be accomplished? •Find out what will motivate you to complete a certain task. For example some people rather complete a project with a group. •Manage your time effectively, like that you can schedule relax or fun time also. Extracurricular activities will not get onrepparttar way of your duties. •Set effective goals, do not only define your goal but, also add a time frame in which you would like to accomplish it. •Take one step at a time. For example: I do not have enough time to cleanrepparttar 142530 entire house but, I will fix a room or two today and continue tomorrow. •Always keep in mind a special procrastination quote. Here is one I particularly like: “Don't wait. The time will never be just right.” By Napoleon Hill
