How do you overcome procrastination?

Do you expect yourself to be perfect? Having high expectations for ourselves is a positive. When we're too hard on ourselves, it can keep us in inaction.

Break it down into more reasonable chunks.

Have someone hold you accountable. Let your friends and family know that you have to complete certain tasks. Make them text you to make sure that you're getting it done!!


It's okay to re-visit the task on our list. We might not do it correctly on the first try, but we can always edit or come back to it.
