I'd say the Pomodoro Technique works pretty well for me to avoid procrastination. Set a timer for like 25 min and focus on one task, then take a 5 min break. Rinse and repeat. Also, breaking big tasks into smaller chunks makes things seem less daunting. Oh and get rid of distractions like social media notifications while you're working. Hope that helps!

Answer

I use notion to create goals and set realistic timelines. But more importantly I don’t beat myself up if I miss one. I found that if you get discouraged it can kill your motivation overall and set you back further.

The advice that helps me is that you need to divide the task into small ones. Then you have more self-confidence that you can accomplish it. Plus, you can reward yourself for each stage.

Answer

To maintain motivation and avoid procrastination, i break tasks into smaller, manageable goals. Prioritize the most important tasks and set specific deadlines. Use time management techniques like the Pomodoro method to stay focused. Eliminate distractions and reward yourself for completing tasks. Surround yourself with a positive environment, and remind yourself of the long-term benefits of staying on track.
