When procrastination makes your life harder, then there are certain ways to handle it. Start with simple tips:
Identify you’re procrastinating
There’s a possibility you may be putting off a task because you've had to re-prioritize your workload. If for a really good reason, you are briefly delaying an important task, then you are not necessarily procrastinating. However, if you start putting things off indefinitely, or switch the focus because you want to avoid doing something, then you are probably.
Organize your time
Organizing your time is one of the most important things you can do to prevent procrastination. Bought a calendar or day planner and devoted time to whatever task is at hand in it. Don't forget you will complete it once an item is on your calendar. Writing down and walking away won't work. You have to work with the plan for better results.
Analyze yourself
Allocate some time to you this will help guide you through your own self - with the time allocated to you! You can focus on long-term planning and the overall retrospective of your personal growth.

Stop being distracted
When were trying to avoid something, distractions are usually our first go-to. Do what you can to limit distractions in your area by turning off your TV, putting your phone down, or working in a quiet place. Let your friends and family members know that you're dedicating a certain amount of time to a task, and politely ask them to wait until you're done.
