7 Step Procrastination Plan

1. Make it Meaningful
   · Why is what you are doing important?
   · How does it fit your goals?
2. Take it apart
   · Break big projects into smaller parts
   · Divide your assignment into doable tasks
3. Write an intention statement
   · Write what you intend to do on an index card and carry it with you everywhere
4. Tell Everyone
   · Tell somebody, anybody, what you intend to do
   · Tell as many people as possible
5. Find a Reward
   · Reward yourself for following through on your intentions
   · Make rewards meaningful
6. Settle it, now
   · Start working on your task as soon as you feel yourself “putting it off”
   · Tell yourself that you are going to work on your task for just ten minutes
7. Say "NO"
   · Don’t allow yourself to procrastinate
   · If you are not going to do something, don’t tell yourself that you are
