All people procrastinate. The question is: "Why does it happen?". The most common reason of procrastination is unwillingness to do some unpleasant, difficult or time consuming tasks. When we say to ourselves: "I have to do.." or "I need to do:", it means that we don't want to do something. The reasons for not wanting to do a task can be different (such as: we don't want to do a task, because it is unpleasant or we don't want to do a task, because it is large and we are afraid of failure, etc). So, how can we avoid procrastination and spend our time more productively? Here are several tips that can help you:

• Create a list of your tasks, so you can keep it in front of your eyes, not to forget about each of your tasks.
• Prioritize your tasks to see which of them must be completed first and which of them can wait.
• Don't be afraid of failure. If you have a large task, you can simply break it down into smaller parts and achieve each part step by step.
• Don't say "yes" to requests, if you want to refuse. You plan your time and can see if you have some free time to help your colleague or not. If you don't have time, say "no" to this request with no doubt.
• Don't forget to plan some free time you can spend on yourself and on your family.
• Reward yourself for each completed task, as it will keep you motivated for achieving your future tasks and as a result, help you to avoid procrastination.
