Aside from cellphones, we also have all sorts of electronics that helps get our attention as well.

So, how can we not get distracted when there are so many different distractions available.

I'm here to share with you 3 major tips that has help me eliminate procrastination for good!

Procrastination has several perspectives. It may look as though its a matter of "choosing pleasure over discipline".
It may seem as though some sort of scare from overwhelming expectations
And even trying to avoid the negatives. Lets face it head on,
Why do we procrastinate?

Here are 3 different reasons why, which will lead us to 3 tips to help get rid of procrastination for good.

3. We're afraid of failing.

We are not perfect. Lets get that through our heads.
But, having some sort of perfectionism isn't all that bad.  High standards leads to high level work right?
We tend to set high standards for ourselves and try our hardest to succeed.
When we succeed we feel on top of the world. What about when we fail?
These high standards comes with negative effects. This leads us to not  wanting to fail, giving up on our goals, and convincing ourselves that there's no other way we can meet those standards we set.
Here is the solution: separate performance and self-worth
Lets think about this for a second, its not the high standards that get in your way, its the high standards with the belief that our performance is just as important to your self-worth.
This way of thinking could lead you into a deep hole.
We have to know how to distinguish the two. Nothing amounts to your self-worth. Accomplishments, goals, W's should never out way your self-worth. What is for you, is for you. Your identity, how you treat other people, your family, your own accomplishments and so forth, these are what makes you, YOU! Always remember the difference between who you are and what you achieve.
2. The task at hand isn't that important(URGENT)
We tend to shift our focus to what matters most, what's right in front of our faces. It could be a ringing cellphone, a fire alarm, or even a baby crying. Whatever is urgent at the time, that is where our attention goes.
So with tasks that are not urgent, how do we turn our focus to the things that don't matter?
We have to look at the bigger picture! "Humans are wired to consider the needs of the present a lot more than the needs of the future."
Which means we like the present, its in our face. Rather than the future, which could be days, months, and even years from now.
Lets look at the example of going to either complete or further your education. If this is a conflict for you, try to take a step back.
Ask yourselves, how does this benefit in your life? What are your goals and how would it get your goals achieved quicker? What is the bigger picture?
This way of thinking could get you that momentum to kick start the process of taking the first step.
After you have decided to take that first step, you may find yourself some what stuck on how to actually start. This leads to ...
1. We don't know how to start or what will happen next
The feeling of being overwhelmed, disorganized, or confused is so common.
We tend to find ourselves procrastinating simply because we just don't know what to do first. Now what do we do?
We avoid the task with a negative regard. Let's face it, no one likes to feel clueless or incompetent. So we rather turn our attention to something else; our comfort zone.
We are all guilty of putting our tasks to the side and engage in online shopping or finding something on TV.
How to overcome this face of procrastination is normalizing the feeling of being overwhelmed or even feeling uneducated when we're just starting out something new to us.
Therefore, we have to take it step by step by incorporating the "figure out steps" first. Even if you have to add "stepping outside and screaming to the top of your lungs". Whatever gets you up and moving, do that first.
Creating an environment that allows you to think is very important. Whether its all alone in your room, over a friends house, or even out in public at a library.
Find your place and get to work.
Following these tips ...
