No matter what, you should always aim for progress. If you do not aim for progress, then how do you expect to succeed? Set some goals and go get them!

You should stop saying that you will do it tomorrow. In fact, get that phrase out of your mind, because tomorrow seems to never get here!
There you have 7 ways to prevent procrastination. Procrastination is not something fun to have and it can create a good amount of enemies, depending on what you procrastinate on. So, stop letting people down, get ahold of yourself and be known as the guy/girl who gets things done on time and one who sticks to your word! Have you ever dealt with this problem?
