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

Action #1: Answer Three Questions
Determine what deserves your attention by answering three basic
questions:
1. What are my personal obligations?
2. What are my priority projects?
3. How much time do I have this week?
Action #2: Apply the 80/20 Rule to Your Schedule
Apply the 80/20 Rule to your schedule by spending as much time as
possible focusing on the actions that generate a significant result. You can
do this by scheduling activities based on the answers to these questions:
What tasks are causing 80% of my problems and unhappiness?
What core activities have the biggest impact on my career?
What experiences produce 80% of my fulfillment and happiness?
Who are the people that cause 80% of my enjoyment and make me
feel truly engaged?
Who are the 20% of people who cause me to feel angry, unhappy,
and unfulfilled?

What habits make up 80% of my efficiency or effectiveness?
If you get busy, you can simplify everything by answering one question
about the tasks you’re scheduling: “Does this task help or hinder my
ability to work on one of my five goals?”
