How to Stop Procrastinating: a simple Guide to Mastering Difficult Tasks and Breaking the Procrastination Habit

Action #1: Answer Three Questions
Each weekly review should start with a few minutes of critical thinking
about the next seven days. This is the time to mentally review your
immediate goals and what 
deserves
your attention. You can do this by
answering three basic questions:
1. What are my personal obligations?
2. What are my priority projects?
3. How much time do I have?
Your responses to these questions are extremely important, because they
will determine the amount of time that can be devoted to your goals
during the next seven days.
The lesson here is that you 
shouldn’t
schedule your week with hundreds
of activities, which is the quickest path to that feeling of overwhelm.

Instead, it’s better to recognize, ahead of time, a realistic amount of time
that can be dedicated to your goals and five core projects.
