Procrastination can quietly eat away at your productivity and increase stress. These 12 actionable strategies will help you tackle tasks more effectively and reclaim your time.

1. Get started. The first step is often the hardest. Commit to starting, and build momentum over time.
2. Break it down. Divide large tasks into smaller, manageable parts. Start with the easiest to build confidence.
3. Use small time gaps. Five minutes can be enough to clear minor tasks off your list.
4. Tackle important tasks first. Begin with the challenging work before moving on to easier routines.
5. Reward yourself. Plan a small reward after completing a task, like a coffee break or short walk.
6. Start in the middle. If the beginning feels overwhelming, start from a point you’re comfortable with and work outward.
7. Give yourself extra time. Start your day earlier to create room for high-priority work.
8. Simplify. Look for ways to make tasks easier—sometimes we overcomplicate them unnecessarily.
9. Do nothing. Sit with the task for 15 minutes without working on it—boredom often pushes you into action.
10. Delegate. Hand over tasks when possible to free up your time for higher priorities.
11. Involve someone else. Share your goals and progress with someone who can hold you accountable.
12. Protect your leisure time. Complete tasks so you can enjoy guilt-free downtime.
