Most people that battle with procrastination achieve less results and find it difficult to make great impacts. I could some of the newbies that were unboarded some time back.

Dealing with procrastination
To overcome procrastination, each step might be unique however there are general principles when adhered would go a long way to transformed one. Let me share some of these tips;
