One of the most powerful, effective and useful tools for this is the creative visualization (in this article you can learn why it is so important and how).
Ideally, you take a few minutes to visualize just start your day.
Put yourself in a comfortable place, close your eyes and take three deep breaths.
Then think with great detail all you have to do (or should do) during the day and how you like to see happen.
Enraptured in sensations, experiences, sounds, moods, smells … When it is more real, much better.
Then review your list of goals and focus on them.

Ingredient 2: Divide and multiply your results
Many people who suffer the consequences of procrastinating tend to leave everything to “later” or “when time” either because they believe they too big, because they produce anxiety or because they find it a tedious task that believe not they may end.
There is something very effective that: divides tasks into small pieces and start slowly .
It’s simple and it’s actually something that background we all know, but very few people apply.
So starting today, when you want to get to do this activity simply starts and moves even a little.
