How to stop procrastinating and build self-discipline

 Have you ever feel lazy, feel very uncomfortable when doing a thing? Something like writing an article, do a math? You sit down at the desk, stare at the laptop screen and do nothing?

It all because of your thought prevent you to do things. The key is "let try to do it in 5 minutes". When you procrastinate something, remember try to do it in 5 minutes. I guarantee that after 5 minutes you want to continue to do things. Because you just hesitate to do the first step, but when you actually roll up your sleeves and start to work, after 5 minutes you suddenly feel like you want to continue to do it. A Million miles start with a step.

Another thing cause procrastination is distraction. Have you ever in a situation when you sit on your desk, open your laptop and ready writing your report but then your phone suddenly has a notification, you grab the phone and check that notification. A friend of you post a picture showing that he is on a beautiful beach drinking coconut fruit, "oh, I don't have a vacation long time ago, I wish I can go to that beach". And then you start searching for fly ticket, hotel and plan for your vacation... And you completely forget your report. After one or several hours, you're back to your report. At this time, it's late, and also you are nearly run out of energy, you feel tired, and you feel that you cannot continue working. And you turn off your laptop and go to sleep. Is this case familiar with you? So to handle this situation, we should remove all the distraction things out of our hand when we start doing something. Set mobile to flight mode and keep it out of our hand. Unplug your TV, lock your door.

The third, make a to-do list for a day, so that you can focus on things that matter for that day. When you have a to-do list, you will be able to focus on that list, instead of wandering around without knowing to do anything.

Try to exercise every day. When we exercise, our body release positive hormone, that make us feel positive and energy. When we feel more energy, more positive, we tend to do thing faster and more willing.

And finally, remember to reinforce your internal. "Everything outside is already existed inside".
