I would feel bad that I kept putting off things and I didn’t even know why half the time. I actually found this book at Goodwill and it was very helpful. (Perhaps they didnt need it anymore!)
The Procrastinator’s Handbook: Mastering the Art of Doing It Now- Rita Emmett
The book explains different reason why people procrastinate (I fit with “wanting it to be perfect” so I had to plan everything first and wanting to skip around projects all the time.) It had really good strategies to help with procrastination. I ended up highlighting parts so when I felt myself wanting to procrastinate I could do a quick motivation read (or else I read the whole book and would be procrastinating!)
It eventually came to the point where I would just do things esp. when I realized that a lot of things I was putting off could be done in less than 15 minutes! The book has been so effective and I haven’t picked up the book in 2 years!
Breaking it down in smaller tasks helped bigger projects.
Besides the book, I also asked myself ” What one thing do you most want to AVOID?” I would do that first so I wouldn’t dread it all day. Just get it over with, it less painful that way!
