What's in it for me? Put a stop to procrastination … right now!
Do any of the following scenarios sound familiar?
You consistently underestimate the amount of time tasks take to complete, leaving you scrambling to finish work on time. You often postpone paying bills until you're charged interest, and don't go to the doctor until a minor complaint becomes a major problem.
If you're nodding along, you might suffer from chronic procrastination. But that's nothing to be ashamed about. Humans have an inbuilt tendency to procrastinate. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. We're simply not built to be productive all the time.
But procrastination can be a problem when it becomes a habit. That's why there's no better time than right now to learn proven strategies for getting it under control.
In these blinks, you'll learn
- how to stop scrolling through social media instead of working;
- why your to-do list is probably too long; and
- which time management tools you need in your life.

Great app. Good selection of book summaries you can read or listen to while commuting. Instead of scrolling through your social media news feed, this is a much better way to spend your spare time in my opinion.
