I was going to post this yesterday, but I didn't get around to it.

Procrastination really is the biggest stumbling block to being organizaed and a major contributor to stress.  There's always something (or nothing) more entertaining to do.

Here are some strategies for limiting your procrastination:

1. As soon as you get a project, set aside time in your schedule to attack it.
2. If possible, break a project into smaller steps so you're never overwhelmed with a huge task.
3. Assign a specific amount of time to a project.  When you've worked for that amount of time, you can do whatever you want.  Alternatively, you can set out a specific amount of work and, when you finish that, you can do what you'd like.
4. If you are easily distracted, you'll need to limit tv, music, computer, and phone.
5. Give yourself a reward (a bubble bath, a movie, etc.) when you complete your project.
6. If you have a stack of basically simple, annoying projects to finish, make a pile (or list) and force yourself to do each task as it comes up.  No delays.  No switching tasks out.  You may be amazed to find that the dreading and putting off is the biggest consumer of time.

What strategies work for you?
