How Do I Motivate Myself To Not Procrastinate?
For me, it’s all about being accountable to myself. I have a program called Rescue Time which tracks how much time I spend on my computer, and it shows how much time I spent on each website/app. Whenever I find myself procrastinating, I open up this program and check how much time I spent on all the things I do when I procrastinate. I then realize how much time I wasted, and I feel bad. So I get back to work. If I had Rescue Time, I would track everything I do in a day (even when I’m not procrastinating). Reducing my time on all the time-wasting websites is also very helpful. This way, I am holding myself accountable to my own goals , and I feel better when I accomplish them..
How can I force myself to not procrastinate?
The most important thing you can do is change your perspective of what procrastination really is. It’s not laziness or the inability to focus. It’s your brain playing tricks with you. You can trick your brain with a few tricks of your own: 1. Get yourself in a good mood. When you’re in a good mood, you’re more likely to do things. 2. Make a list of your task and then prioritize them. If you don’t know how to prioritize, then divide them into two lists; one of things that you can do right now and one of things that you can’t. 3. Work on the most important task first. If you don’t know which task is the most important, ask yourself this question: “If I don’t do this right now, what’s the worst that could happen?” The answer will help you identify the most important tasks..

Why is it so hard to not procrastinate?
The reason why it is so hard to not procrastinate is that we are chronically deluded about our capacity for self-control. When we feel a temptation to procrastinate, we misjudge how strong our impulse to do so is. We think we can resist it when in fact we can’t. That’s why we can’t not procrastinate. We think we don’t want to procrastinate, but we’re not sure how much we want to. The more uncertainty we have about our own minds, the harder it is to resist temptation.
