Big believer in the Pomodoro Technique here - short bursts of focused work, then a quick break.

Nikki · Answer

To combat procrastination, I find it helpful to break down my tasks into smaller, more achievable steps, and I create a schedule or to-do list to keep myself organized and motivated.

I also set clear goals and rewards for myself, eliminate distractions by creating a dedicated work environment, and leverage techniques like the Pomodoro Technique to stay focused and maintain a productive flow.
