Don't procrastinate

My stress busting advice for today is this: Don’t procrastinate!

I am definitely guilty of putting things off until the last minute, especially when I have a lot of other things to do and even more especially if those other things are more fun. But this inevitably results in me getting stressed out about all of the things that I haven’t finished. So if you have some tasks on your list that you just keep putting off until later, first consider if you really need to do them or if they can be handed off to someone else. If these tasks must be handled by you, then, instead of procrastinating, break the task into small pieces and get a little bit done at a time. This way you are continually making progress on it so it won’t be left until the last minute. This will also make the task seem much less overwhelming.

This tip can really be used for any big project that you have. Rather than getting anxious about how much you have to do, just focus on finishing one small piece at a time. Before you know it, you will be finished!
