Most people don’t fail.
They just never start.
I used to spend hours staring at tasks.
Not doing them. Just overthinking every step.
The overwhelm? Crippling.
But everything changed when I learned to start small.
And stay consistent.
Here’s what procrastination is really costing you:
↳ 88% of people waste at least an hour daily
↳ That’s 55 days lost every year
↳ Productivity loss = $10,000+ annually per employee
It’s not a laziness issue.
It’s a habit design issue.
10 proven ways to beat procrastination:
(No fluff. Just what works.)
1/ Start Tiny
↳ Open the doc. That’s it. Let momentum handle the rest.
2/ Use the 2-Minute Rule
↳ If it takes less than 2 mins, do it now. If not, just commit to 2 mins of effort.
3/ Gamify It
↳ Turn your tasks into a points system. Reward progress. Coffee helps.
4/ Make It Public
↳ Tell someone your goal. Accountability beats motivation.
5/ Avoidance Archive
↳ List what you’re avoiding. Pick one. Do it. Repeat daily.
6/ Location Reset
↳ Stuck? Move. A new space often brings a new mindset.
7/ Visualise the Win
↳ Take 60 seconds. Picture the finish line. Let it drive you.
8/ Use a Timer
↳ Try 25 minutes work / 5-minute break. It’s gold.
9/ Find Your ‘Why’
↳ Link every task to a deeper reason. Purpose fuels progress.
10/ Reward Progress
↳ Even tiny wins deserve celebration. Build positive reinforcement.
These are the tools I still use.
And they’ve helped thousands reset their habits too!
