How do I stop procrastinating and be more productive?
assistant
To stop procrastinating and be more productive, start by setting yourself realistic goals and breaking them down into achievable chunks. Make a plan of action, starting with the most pressing tasks first. Schedule fixed times during the day to work on specific tasks, and eliminate distractions by removing any potential triggers like phone, TV, and other digital devices. When you make progress, reward yourself with small rewards that you enjoy. Finally, make sure to get adequate rest, as a tired mind will make it that much harder to stay productive.
