Overcoming Procrastination

by Ramona Creel is a good quick look at how to organize yourself to be more productive. Sample section:


ACT AFTER YOU PLAN

Start with a written plan of action to avoid getting distracted
Keep your plan simple and straightforward
Start with the one thing you must get done today to feel productive
Should be a manageable item you can complete in 10-15 minutes
Break the day up into a number of "action sessions" for other tasks
Balance the time spent planning with time spent creating or doing
Avoid over-planning -- another method of procrastination
Before ending your day, spend 10 minutes reviewing your progress
Take time to plan your actions for the next day
