The Seven-day Anti-Procrastination Plan Suggestions of how to eliminate procrastination are related to the days of the week.

1. Monday-Make it meaningful List all benefits of completing the task.

2. Tuesday- Take it Apart Break big jobs into series of small ones that you can do in 15 minutes or less. Example- Divide a long reading assignment into two-page or three- page sections.

3. Wednesday- Write an intention statement Write what you intend to do on a 3x5 card and carry it with you, or post it in your study area where you can see it.

4. Thursday- Tell everyone Tell anyone that will ask whether you’ve completed the task or not. Family, friends, and roommates can make a good support group.

5. Friday- Find a reward Construct rewards carefully Don’t pick movies as a reward if you was already going to go and see it. Be willing to withhold a reward if you don’t complete a task.

6. Saturday- Settle It Now Do it now. Plunge into a task. Often less painful to leap.

7. Sunday-say no If you really don’t intend to do the task then stop doing it. If you say no and stop then it is not procrastination.
