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

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

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

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

8. 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.
