Help for Procrastinators

I just came across a really good question on Mahalo's Answers that was posted over a year ago.  The question was "What do you do to stop procrastinating?"


Great question, right?  I thought so too, especially for people who freelance or work from home.  My answer to the question is as follows:


1. The first thing you should do is create your own deadline for each assignment.
2. Express to your clients how important it is that they give you a deadline.
3. You definitely need to turn that mental list into a checklist. You can do this either by hand writing it on paper or type it up and print it out - checking off each item as you complete it.
4. Stick to it and when those "extremely important" distractions come up, finish those and get back to your checklist immediately.
