Practice Scheduling

• Schedule a particular task in the morning and once in the evening.
  
• The task should not take more than 15 minutes.
• Wait for the exact scheduled time. -when the schedule time is due, start the task.
• Advantages: Scheduling helps you focus on your priorities. 
• Focus on starting tasks rather than completing to avoid procrastination.

Use Routines

• Instead of devoting a lot of hours one day, and none the other and then a few on an another day and so on, allocate a specific time period each day of the week for that task.
• Don’t set a goal other than time allocation- simply set the habit of routine.
• Apply this technique to your homework or your projects.
  

Have Daily Scheduling

• When you first begin your work day, or going to work take a few minutes and write down on a piece of paper the tasks that you want to accomplish for that day.
  
• Prioritize the list.
  
• Immediately start working on the most important one.
  
• Try it for a few days to see if the habit works for you.
  
• Habits form over time: how much time depends on you and the habit.
  

Find Successful Role Models

• Observe the people in your life and see to what extent self discipline and habits help them accomplish goals. 
  
• Ask them for advice on what works, what does not.
  
• Don’t replicate their ideas, come up with your own plan.
