7 Practical Steps to Stop Procrastinating

1) Break it down — ছোট টুকরা করে কাজ করুন
Big tasks = scary. Break a task into tiny, 10–30 minute actions. Start with one small action and momentum will follow.
উদাহরণ: “Write report” → “Open document”, “Write intro paragraph”, “Add 3 bullet points”.

2) Use a timer (Pomodoro) — টাইমার বেঁধে কাজ করুন
Set 25–30 minute focused sessions, then 5 minute break. After 4 sessions, take a longer break (20–30 mins).

3) Set a single clear goal for the day — প্রতিদিন একটাই পার্থক্যকারী লক্ষ্য
Choose 1–3 top priorities. If everything is important, nothing is. Start with the highest impact task.
উদাহরণ: “Finish client email” or “Practice 20 minutes of spoken English”.

4) Remove friction — বাধা গুলো কমান
Make the first step easy: open app, place notebook, delete distractions, logout of social apps during focus time.
টিপ: ফোন silent + airplane mode or use site blockers.

5) Use “If-then” rules — কৌশল করে রাখুন
“When X happens, then I do Y.” Example: “If I finish 1 Pomodoro (Time management system), then I’ll take a 10-minute walk.” This conditions productive habits.

6) Accountability & public commitment — দায়বদ্ধতা বাড়ান
Tell someone (friend, WhatsApp group) what you’ll do and when. Share your progress publicly — social pressure works.

7) Reward progress & forgive setbacks — পুরস্কৃত করুন, নিজেকে ক্ষমা করুন
Celebrate micro-wins. If you slip, forgive, analyze why, and restart. Progress is about consistency, not perfection.
