Set a timetable(时间表).A timetable is a kind of pressure.It helps you pay all attention to the task and think of ways to complete it.But be sure the timetable can be realistic(实际的)to guide you in finishing the task step by step.
What to do first.Not everything you do has the same importance,so you must know what to do first.The trouble is that you may always put off important things while doing comfortable tasks.
Tell someone else.If you have a big task to work on,let someone know about it,and let them know what your timetable is.You may tell a classmate,a friend or a family member.The fact is that you may not mind disappointing yourself,but you wouldn't like to disappoint others.In that case,you will have stronger power to work on the task. So you will not fail just because you put things off.
Are you ready to be better now?Remember,one today is worth two tomorrows.
