We have all either done it, currently do it, or will do it... Procrastination will at some point, get the best of us.

Whether you're writing a paper for school, a report for work, or even trying to do your laundry, you will find a million reasons not to. You'll decide that a Facebook post or the dog are more important than the things you need to be doing. Then, before you know it, you'll be up until midnight working on something that needs to be done the next day.

Some things that might help:

Start early, if you know you have something due on Friday then start working on it on Monday, and then little by little each day so that it doesn't seem overwhelming the entire time.

Make a plan before you start. If you are writing a report or an essay, make an outline before you begin so you know what you are doing.

Maybe you're doing something small, like laundry. Do it in small increments, find all your laundry - take a break, sort your laundry - take a break, put some in the washer - take a break. It doesn't have to be a big job. Make the big jobs little.

As humans we will make an excuse for just about anything to get out of doing the things we need to do. I even procrastinated writing this article. We are always going to find something better to do than the thing we need to be. Life is full of distractions and things that will make us say, "eh i'll do it later."

I need to be taking my own advice, because I am the world's worst on procrastinating, but I am just human just like everyone else. Everyone does it, it's just apart of life. You will do it until you find out your own personal solution to solve your dilemma. It is something you must handle all on your own. Find your method to staying on task.
