If you procrastinate, figure out why and take action before you end up swamped.
We procrastinate for many reasons (everything from unpleasant tasks to a fear of failure, perfectionism, feeling overwhelmed or a lack of organisation). Homeworkers beware: Daytime TV, long lunches, and social media can all lure you away from your primary focus. Don't let them take over. If you procrastinate, figure out why and take action before you end up swamped. If you don't, you'll be working late into the night to catch up!
