To stop procrastinating:

1. Break tasks down – Small steps feel less overwhelming.

2. Use a timer – Try the Pomodoro Technique (25 minutes work, 5 minutes break).

3. Eliminate distractions – Silence notifications and clear your space.

4. Set deadlines – Even self-imposed ones create urgency.

5. Start with 2 minutes – Commit to just beginning; momentum will follow.

6. Reward progress – Give yourself small incentives for completing tasks.

7. Know your “why” – Remind yourself why the task matters.

Procrastination is ourselves. It is not an external force. Searching on how to stop it will only produce theoritical answers, you are the one to birth the practicalized aspect. You cannot stop it unless you WANT to.
