Procrastination may feel like the human condition, but
it doesn't have to. To get out of your own way and
increase your productivity, try these three tactics:
Set deadlines. Create a schedule with clear due
dates for each task. Remind yourself by using visual
cues: Set reminders in your calendar, add items to
your to-do list, or put a sticky note on your computer
screen.
Ask for help. Ask a trusted colleague to review your
work. Knowing that she's expecting it can spur you to
get started.
Change your mind-set. Stop thinking of yourself as
a procrastinator. See yourself — and talk about
yourself with others —as someone who gets things done.
