His daughter June, and her husband, Pete, on the other hand, have to do everything themselves or find builders to do it. They live in a large semi-detached house further out from the center of London than John, but they are still near enough to see him often. They live in the suburbs with a nice garden when their children play. They moved there four years ago to have more space. The only drawback is that June’s husband has to commute into the centre of London every day, but, overall, they are happy with their decision. When they bought the house, a lot needed doing to it and still does. June says, “We have a list of things to do as long as your arm-the roof needs repairing and the chimney needs mending. The bedrooms need decorating and we haven’t had the broken windowpanes replaced yet in the conservatory. We need to fix the gate and repair the path-it looks dreadful when you arrive.

tead of doing your work, you check Facebook or do some on line shopping.This is called procrastination, and it affects everyone.So how can you stop procrastinating?
We often procrastinate because a task seems too big, or impossible to achieve.Try breaking down the task into smaller pieces.For example, instead of thinking,“I need to finish this essay by 10 p.m.tonight ” tell yourself,“I’ m going to make a short outline, fill that in, and then look for quotes.”
Another important factor is your environment, isn’t it? If there are too many distractions in your work space, you may be tempted to procrastinate more.Are there any things in your work space (for example, a TV) that could be causing you to lose focus?
Making a timeline with goals and deadlines is a great way to stop yourself from procrastinating.
However, it is important to make your deadlines realistic so that you can be sure you’ll stick to them.
Some people like to wait for the perfect time to start a task, while the perfect time is often now.Try something called the Two-Minute Rule to help you get started.This idea comes from David Allen’ s best-selling book, Getting Things Done.It states that.if something takes less than two minutes, such as washing your dishes after a meal, then you should do it now.
