I&#x27;ve had to struggle with procrastination since highschool (now 10+ yrs in the workforce). A couple of things I&#x27;ve noticed about myself and the teams I&#x27;ve worked with:<p>- We always find time to do things we love doing. So the trick is to simply fill your bucket with things you genuinely enjoy.<p>- Always have a backlog. It might be a note or a sheet on Excel - but always have a list of things that need to get done. Keep adding the new stuff into this as they come, and spend a couple of hours once  a week running through this.<p>- Get in the flow. Plan your backlog so you have a mix of high, medium and low complexity stuff on your plate.<p>- Figure out your &quot;in-the-zone&quot; time. For me, I&#x27;ve noticed that I&#x27;m most charged up for creative work later in the evening. Make sure you don&#x27;t have any meetings or distractions lined up during and at least an hour before your zone time.<p>- Get your temple. Everybody needs a place where they can go, zone in and get work done.<p>- Have a daily standup where you discuss what you planned to do yesterday, what you did, and what you plan to do today. Do this EVERY SINGLE DAY.<p>I&#x27;ve noticed most organized&#x2F; disciplined folks just do this automatically. For us procrastinators, it&#x27;s like starting a workout routine after your BMI has hit the ceiling - you need a system, and you need a system that you&#x27;d actually enjoy if you want to stick to it!
