Procrastination

I need help because I procrastinate a lot. How do you deal with it? And how do you avoid it anget your work done? Any tips are greatly appreciated!
I keep telling myself that this is the last time I'll procrastinate
Procrastination is one of the most under appreciated joys in life... embrace your procrastination, it's a good thing.
Try breaking what you have to do down into smaller tasks.
I am a procrastination expert. I will post a detailed answer to the question tomorrow.
I found 2 articles helpful:
1. procrastination.com/what-is-procrastination
2. www.cnbc.com/2019/02/01/the-2-minute-rule-how-to-stop-procrastinating-and-start-new-habits.html
They require more than 20 mins of reading but they are worth reading.
For avoiding procrastination you should know what is procrastination and how it affects us.
Some advices from my side are:
1. Make a to-do list. Do unpleasant works first, and schedule to do the pleasant work at the end of the day, so excitement of doing the pleasant work may help you to complete the unpleasant work first.
2. Reward yourself when you complete a task, and punish yourself when you don't.
3. At the end of the day pre-plan what you have to do tomorrow (it comes in to-do list).
4. Remove distractions.
And remember this thought "Doing something is better than doing nothing."
Hope it helps, good wishes!
