It's a slightly difficult for me to apply this in my life but I have been struggling to avoid this habit of procrastination. I have delayed up some or the other activities in a day but I don't know how to overcome this habit once and for all. Are there any tips? How do you stop procrastinating ?, What initiatives do you guys take?

I think self-discipline is the key.

Oh! Me too! What works for me is to make lists. I gain satisfaction from crossing a finished project off the list. Silly, I know but it works. Sometimes I procrastinate because I doubt that I will do good enough. So I have found the quote "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good" to help. Hope that is helpful

@Janet357 Is right, self discipline is the key. When you know that you have to do something, just do it!

Sometimes I deal with the same problem. It happened due to lighter importance of work but now I deal with all work with priority and try to accomplish in time. This habit brought down your reputation and label of insincere stuck on your character so I left this habit.

Procrastination comes from dilly-dallying around in our mind, and not following the power of the driver of love in our heart to do what is right, and pointed out to us to do at all times. Just drop the mind's excuses, and do what you must do; it's really that simple, and that hard.

That sounds tough. Is your procrastination true or false.
