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

Exercise #7: Implement 14 Daily Practices to
Overcome Procrastination
Overcoming procrastination is a daily struggle that often requires you to
take action—even when a specific activity is the last thing that you feel
like working on. That’s why I recommend using 14 practices that will help
you avoid procrastinating on the tasks you have scheduled for the day.
Practice #1: Resolve Any Potential Emergency
Resolve all potential emergencies by answering (and taking action on) a
series of questions:
What is the worst-case scenario if I ignore this issue?
How would this potential emergency negatively affect my friends
and family?
What are the not-so-important tasks or obligations that I can put
off to take care of this potential emergency?
What simple actions can I take
 today
to resolve this issue?
If it’s not a life-threatening issue and I don’t have time to address it
today, when is the soonest I can take care of it?
