Develop good habits to manage your workload.
People don’t always mean the same thing when they talk about procrastination. Sometimes, they mean that they are unmotivated to do something they find trivial; other times, they mean that they’re too overwhelmed to do an important project. Everyone procrastinates a little bit: the way to find motivation is to figure out the root cause of your behaviour so that you can find ways to bring out the best version of yourself.
