If you have found in the past that you have had a tendency to avoid certain tasks and have procrastinated then forgive yourself for this. As mentioned it is normal to struggle with completing things from time to time and it doesn’t mean that you will experience this to the same extent again.

Adding a time to something can help you to stick to a schedule or goal, if you know that doing something will take a particular amount of time then it can help you to proactively tackle your workload.

If you find yourself thinking things like “I have to do this” try to reframe this to “I could do this” it can help you to avoid feeling excess pressure/stress.

If you are most motivated in the morning then start your tasks then but if you are a night owl there would be no point in starting a task at this stage. Planning and organising how you are going to approach something before you begin can aid you in feeling more in control of the task at hand.

Remember it is normal to procrastinate and the first step to overcoming it is to recognise it, you’ll get there!
