The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-style: normal;\"><span style=\"color:
