One way to make a job easier is to break it into smaller jobs. If your task is to file your income tax return, you may view it as time consuming and tedious.

But if you break it into smaller categories such as gather records, download tax software, and prepare a rough draft, tasks don't seem as difficult and you are likely to complete them in considerably less time.

Some other ways to make those undesirable jobs seem more bearable are to prioritize, use self-discipline, and reward yourself for small accomplishments...

Try to do least desirable tasks early in day so you'll look forward to having rest of day to concentrate on more pleasant jobs.

Keep in mind that self-discipline is something you do for yourself, not to punish yourself. Make a schedule and stick to it. Don't forget to reward yourself for each step you take in overcoming procrastination.

Positive reinforcement goes a long way in changing negative behaviors.

Here are a few more suggestions as to how you can get motivated and quit procrastinating...

1. Tasks will seem less daunting if you break them into several steps over a few days or weeks. Don't expect yourself to do everything all at once.

2. Don't worry about doing job perfectly. Once you quit procrastinating, you'll have more time to go back and perfect each particular task. Allowing yourself adequate time to finish a task will give you more time for corrections later.

You can follow some practical steps and make permanent changes in your life. Start living up to your true potential by rising to a new level of motivation, energy, and dedication.

People procrastinate for different reasons ranging from fear of failure (or success) to just plain lazy.

By first identifying some of reasons you procrastinate, you can develop a plan to end your frustration, finally get motivated, and stay motivated.

A major component of motivation is self-confidence. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, and feeling unworthy or undeserving are common reasons people procrastinate.

Taking steps to improve your self-esteem will go a long way in helping you get motivated.

Two things in particular motivate human beings: pleasure and pain. Make a list of pleasure you'll get from accomplishing your goals. Also list consequences you'll suffer by procrastinating.

If you keep reward in mind it will be easier to stay focused. Evaluate your life and do some soul searching. Overcoming irrational fears and phobias are critical steps in becoming self-confident and motivated.

The act of procrastinating itself causes your self-esteem to suffer. Feelings of guilt, stress, and anxiety only lead to unfulfilled goals and dreams.
