Common reasons for procrastinating include not knowing the next steps, boredom, difficulty of the task, frustration, and perfectionism. Magnetic sign holders can be used to display outlines of project steps, contact info for help, facts to further the project, details of past similar work, and general guidelines. They can also hold inspirational photos, images of future goals, mementos of loved ones benefitting from the work, and quotes or past achievements. Keeping these items visible where work is done or where procrastination occurs can provide motivation to stay on track.
