procrastination solutions...
Procrastination solutions are the best kept secrets of overcoming Procrastination fast! And best of all, you’ll see results in weeks. I have not promised that it is going to be easy, but you’ll have no excuse to give whatsoever when you do not make an impact because of Procrastination. Some of the insider information you’ll need are here outlined.
Do unpleasant task first and forget about them.
If a task seems mighty or not inviting, the truth is that you've got to do them and avert some problems in the future – break them down into small steps and tackle them bit by bit.
Get a deadline for all your projects. Make them realistic so you do not get frustrated when you cannot meet too ambitious goals. There is a kind of urgency attached with a task when a deadline is added.
Delegate tasks if you have to. Nobody told you that the most successful individuals did it all by themselves.
Disregard protocols – sometimes, you just have to get started on something – you can start anyhow so you gather enough momentum to continue, when you feel motivated, you can follow orders.
Change your perception, change our attitude! Because you can easily lie to your subconscious and can deceive it, you become your own worst enemy. Whatever you tell your subconscious is what it acts. You can tell a wrong perception about a task to your subconscious and it will say – yes boss, that's exactly what it is. So why not tell it some good, change your attitude and your thinking about that task – tell it to your subconscious and watch it say – yes boss, that's what it is and we can do it now!
Now, consider the effects of putting off a task, of not being responsible, of not being in total control, of not making that call, of not checking on the dentist or the doctor, of not trying to loose some weight, quit smoking, being the market leader, being the best you can be.

CONCLUSION
Procrastination will be dangerous to your wealth.
There isn’t just one answer. Fear , lack of education and etc all contribute to one thing, that is procrastination and that’s the biggest mistake of all .In no other situation does the phrase “the waiting game is the loser game”. Apply more appropriately .
To repeat Nike motto again : JUST DO IT..!!
