The top 20% of the things you do are the vital few and the bottom 80% are the trivial many. To get a higher return on the investment of your time and energy, you have to focus on the vital few first rather than on the trivial many. \u003cbr\u003eThe challenging part is that the vital few are the most difficult, unpleasant and boring tasks. So, most people tend to procrastinate on them. But, what would happen if we overcame procrastination in our lives? Many people will take action, do what they are supposed to do and become much more successful than they currently are. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eZig Ziglar said that \"All bad habits start slowly and gradually and before you know you have the habit, the habit has you.

Procrastination causes stress, anxiety, and guilt which further continues the cycle of procrastination. \u003cbr\u003eWhen you procrastinate, you lag behind in your career and personal life. And procrastination is not just an act, but a habit. Slowly, but gradually, you develop the self-sabotaging and self-destructive habit of procrastination. That means you start procrastinating before you know it. It becomes your second nature. \u003cbr\u003eWhatever you do, you just seem to procrastinate and do not know what to do about it. Most people can't help themselves when it comes to procrastination  It is almost impossible to overcome procrastination by themselves. But, don't worry  If you have the chronic habit of procrastinating, you can get rid of it.\u003cbr\u003eJust like any habit, the habit of procrastination can be formed and broken. All you have to do is to identify the triggers, create an alternative response and then reward yourself for responding differently. When you do this over a period of time, you will realize that you are slowly becoming self-proactive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David L.
