If you are postponing things because you are tired, you can reboot your energy levels:

  • Have a cup of tea or coffee.
  • Take a walk.
  • Take a little nap.

Another major reason for procrastination is uncertainty about whether to do something. Decide why you need to do something. What will you get from it? Money? Glory? Be honest with yourself, and perhaps you need to give up this task altogether, and there is even nothing to postpone.

  • Clarify the purpose.
  • Fire up your motivation.
  • Get down to business.
