Feeling motivated and ready to tackle the projects at hand can be daunting. Just watching the clock unable to figure out how to start? An extensive To-Do list might have you focusing on the easier tasks to accomplish while avoiding the big ones. Use these 25 affirmations for productivity and to conquer procrastination.

The best way to use affirmations is to repeat or write them daily. By doing this each day, the affirmations start to seep into your soul and you move in a positive direction. If you plan to add some of your own custom affirmations remember to keep them positive. Words such as can’t, not, do not, etc., should not be included in an affirmation. Take those words out and turn your affirmation into a positive intent.
