Procrastination Be Gone: How to Beat Procrastination and Get Things Done

---

Introduction

Procrastination is a common challenge for people with ADHD, but there are several strategies you can use to help overcome it.

12 Strategies for Dealing with Procrastination:

1. Break tasks into smaller chunks: Breaking down a large task into smaller, manageable steps can make it feel less overwhelming, and help you to make progress more easily.
   

2. Prioritize and plan your day: Prioritize your tasks according to importance and set a specific time for each task. This will help you stay focused and on track.
   

3. Get moving: Sometimes procrastination is caused by feeling sluggish or unmotivated. Try getting up and moving around or doing a quick workout to boost your energy and focus.
   

4. Reward yourself: Give yourself a small reward after you finish a task. This will encourage you to finish more tasks.
   

5. Seek support: Reach out to a therapist or ADHD coach for guidance and support to develop specific strategies for managing procrastination.
   

6. Find your peak productivity time: Some people are more productive in the morning, while others are more productive in the afternoon or evening. Figure out when you are most productive and schedule your most important tasks during that time.
   

7. Use reminders: Set reminders on your phone or computer to remind yourself of important tasks and deadlines.
   

8. Change your environment: Sometimes, a change of scenery can help to boost motivation and focus. Try working in a different room or even in a different place to change your perspective.
   

9. Eliminate unnecessary tasks: Analyze your tasks and eliminate or delegate the ones that are not important or urgent.
   

10. Use the "5-minute rule": When faced with a task you are procrastinating on, tell yourself you will work on it for just five minutes. Often, once you start working, you'll find it easier to continue.
    

11. Use accountability: Tell someone about your goals and ask them to hold you accountable. This can be a friend, family member, or therapist.
    

12. Find your motivation: Identify the underlying reasons that make you procrastinate on certain tasks and address them. It could be a lack of interest, fear of failure, or other reasons.

Conclusion

It's important to remember that procrastination is a common challenge and that it's okay to make mistakes. Be kind to yourself and keep trying different strategies until you find what works best for you.
