Nobody writes like you, nobody. So you are denying us all when you either procrastinate or are forced to procrastinate. Now I’ve added extra guilt on your shoulders, take a look at these 14 suggestions of how to pull your finger out. They’re all from Fast Company and I agree with almost all of them.

Okay. I’m not drawn to the one where they suggest working standing up.

But otherwise… Here are the first two of their 14 for 2015– it would’ve killed them to find a 15th? – as an example:

1. VISUALIZE AND SET UP YOUR DAY THE NIGHT BEFORE
Before emotional intelligence expert and author of The Other Kind of Smart Harvey Deutschendorf goes to sleep, he says he makes some basic decisions about the next day like what he’ll wear, eat for lunch, and the route he plans on taking to work. “The less time and energy you take to focus on routine, everyday things, the more you will have to work on what is important,” he explains.

He also suggests visualizing what exactly you plan to accomplish the next day. “Become extremely focused upon making this an ongoing part of your routine and you will surprise yourself by how much more you accomplish,” he says.

2. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PRODUCTIVE PEOPLE
“It’s very easy for me to work alone, but I find that my productivity is maximized when I surround myself with productive people I don’t know,” says Vivian Giang, a freelance journalist who covers leadership, organizational psychology, and gender issues.

She says working around productive strangers keeps her accountable for staying on task. “I’m not browsing social media without purpose. I eat healthier, I don’t take long breaks. I semi-compete with them because they always look like they’re coming up with great ideas,” she says.
