• WHY WE PROCRASTINATE ?
First understand why we procrastinate our work even though we know we have to do this.So let's talk about all the reasons one by one.
1. Perfect Timing
Maximum time, you fix the time for every work, like this work has to be done at 8 o'clock, and if you find that it is more than 8 o'clock and you have not even started your work, then all your interest for your work is over. So it happens that either you procrastinate this work or you start doing that work but leave it after a while.Also it happens that in the Morning you do this work in the night and in the night you feel tired and again postpone your work for tomorrow morning.
2. You Procrastinate for a Minute
As I already told you Procrastination starts with postponing small tasks and postponing your work for a few minutes. It often happens that you postpone your work only for a few minutes and think that you should rest for a while or use your smartphone. But it happens that instead of minutes, a few hours pass. Then you remember that you had to do your work and you get sad thinking that you have wasted a lot of time.In the way you snooze your alarm in the morning thinking that you can sleep for 5 more minutes.
3. It Become Your Habit
Our brain makes our body behave according to our habits. That's why it is said that you should adopt good habits. That's why postponing your work after some time has become your habit.Earlier you used to postpone your small works but now it has become your habit and you keep postponing your works even if you don't want to.
So remember don't make it your habit to postpone all your work.
4. Over Stimulated Brain
The Author of the Hyper Focus explains that for over-stimulated brains it is difficult to concentrate on one thing, that's why these people get bored easily with their work. And then they procrastinate their work.Over-stimulation simply means that You are always doing something to entertain your mind.

So now you make it your Habit to not postpone your work.You can Practice this ( Not to postpone your work ) for 21 days, because According to the 21/90 Principle, in 21 days you can develop a habit and in 90 days you can develop a lifestyle.
It requires more energy and attention to build a habit than to follow a habit.
3. Find your Productive time
In a day you perform a lot of tasks, out of which some require more energy and some require less energy.So first you have to find out which of your work requires more attention and focus and then you also have to find out at what time of day you feel most productive and Energetic.
Maybe in Morning or in the evening. So in this way you have to prioritize all your work.
4. Give Reward Yourself
Study tells that if you are given a reward for some work, then you will finish that work immediately. That's why you should reward yourself when you finish your work.You can reward yourself like this - After finishing your work you can do whatever you like to do.
5. Kill the Excuse immediately
You postpone your work because your mind gives you an excuse to postpone that work and also gives satisfaction that this work will be done later.Just like in the morning your brain tells you to sleep for 10 more minutes, and you lose hours in these 10 minute cycles.
And the main reason for procrastination is that you accept the excuses given by your mind. So that's why next time whenever your mind gives any excuse to postpone the work, then you have to kill that excuse immediately.
If you do this, then your habit of postponing work will be no more.
• MINDSET APPROACH.
1. The Right Mindset
If you are really a sensible person then you do not need any method which can help you to overcome procrastination.Because there is only this difference between a fool and a wise man, a wise man knows what he has to do and he does it. On the other hand, even a fool knows what he has to do, but he does not do it.
2. You Have Much Time
Everyone thinks they have enough time to do this job. Due to this thinking, they postpone their work until tomorrow. You should understand that you are getting closer to your death every day. And if you realize this, then you will not postpone your work even for a day.If I say you have your last 7 days, how do you use this time? It depends on you what you will do but one thing is sure that you will not let even a minute of your time go to waste.
No one knows how much time you have but definitely you have a certain amount of time.
An Example
If I lock you in a room and there is work for you in the same room and I tell you that the door of this room can open anytime. And when the door opens, if you have finished your work by then, you will get the reward, so it is sure that you will finish that work first and then focus on the rest of the room.
Similarly, if you finish the work first, then for the rest of the day you can do whatever you like.
