Triage: I put off a task because there’s always something more urgent clawing at my attention. It helps to group such tasks into categories (e.g. “tiny non-urgent things” or “home improvements”), then schedule a chunk of time to focus on a particular category. This frees me from wondering if there’s something else I ought to be doing instead. I haven’t fully conquered procrastination—but when I do get anything done, it’s thanks to these strategies.
