Shivam Verma

Break down tasks into smaller, manageable goals with specific deadlines to keep yourself focused and motivated.

Identify the most important tasks and tackle them first to prevent feeling overwhelmed by procrastination.

Establish a daily or weekly schedule that includes dedicated time for work, breaks, and leisure activities to maintain consistency and discipline.

Employ techniques such as the Pomodoro Technique or time blocking to maximise productivity and minimise procrastination.

Identify and remove distractions from your workspace, such as social media, email notifications, or noisy environments, to stay focused on the task at hand.

Divide larger tasks into smaller, more manageable steps to reduce feelings of overwhelm and make progress more achievable.

Be kind to yourself when facing setbacks or struggling to stay on track, and avoid self-criticism, which can lead to further procrastination.
