Why are some people so amazingly productive while others are not?  Procrastination is the explanation offered in response to this query.  Productive people do not waste time.  They maintain that you should not put off until the next day what you can do today.  People who are successful tend to be those who manage time rather than let time manage them.

               A number of things can be done to combat procrastination.  First, prepare a listing of each task that needs to be accomplished.  Many of the tasks that appear on the list will take minimal time, while others on the list may take a substantial amount of time.  As each task is achieved, it should be deleted from the list.  This gives a person a sense of accomplishment and increases the likelihood of additional tasks being completed.

               The next suggestion is to divide a big job into several smaller parts.  By doing so, the job will not appear so overwhelming.  Along with breaking the job down, set deadlines for completing each part of the job.  The probability of completing a large job is much greater when it is divided into parts that have assigned deadlines.
