17．One of the most common problems in our daily life is procrastination．We know what we want to do and should do．But we still end up spending hours upon hours doing"easier"work or escaping via TV，blogs or music．
So what can you do？Here are some tips to help you stop procrastinating and start living your life more fully．
Stop thinking and start doing．
A bit of planning can certainly help you to achieve what you want to achieve．A lot of planning and thinking tends to have the opposite effect．
You think and think and try to come up with"the perfect plan"．A plan where you don't have to make mistakes，where you will never be rejected，where there will be no pain or difficulties．Such a thing does not exist．But as long as you work on that plan you can protect yourself．
Just take the first step．
You don't have to see the whole staircase-just take the first step．When you start to look far into the future，any tasks or project can seem close to impossible．And so you shut down because you become overwhelmed and start surfing the Internet aimlessly instead．
Start with the hardest task of your day．
Do the hard jobs first．The easy jobs will take care of themselves．Whatever it may be，make it the first thing you do．If you start your day this way you will feel relieved．And the rest of the day-and your to-do list-tends to feel a lot lighter and easier to get through．
Just make a decision．Any decision．
We feel bad when we sit on our hands and don't take action，because it's unnatural．The natural thing is to be a decisive human and take action．
What you do always sends signals back to you about who you're．Say to yourself that your confidence can help you．When you procrastinate you lower your self-esteem and send signals back to yourself that you are an indecisive person．
Face the fear．
Procrastination is the fear of success．People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now．It's harder to just take action．To risk looking like a fool．To make mistakes stumble and not avoid that pain．To take responsibility for your own life．
Finish it．
Much of the stress that people feel doesn't come from having too much to do．It comes from not finishing what they have started．Not taking the first step to start accomplishing something can make you feel bad．But not finishing what you have started can also leave you in a sort of negative fear．
If that is the case，go over the tasks and projects that you are currently involved in．Is there something that you know you want to finish，but haven't yet done so？Try to finish it as soon as you can，and you will start to feel a whole lot better．Just be careful．Don't think you have to finish everything you have started．
