Managers can fight procrastination by implementing several key strategies. First, they can set clear and attainable goals, which help employees focus on specific tasks and deadlines. Encouraging the use of time management techniques, such as prioritization and scheduling, can also be effective. 

Creating a supportive environment is crucial; managers should promote open communication, allowing team members to voice challenges. Regular check-ins can help keep the team accountable and motivated.

Moreover, breaking larger projects into smaller, manageable tasks can reduce overwhelm and boost progress. Recognizing and rewarding achievements, no matter how small, can further encourage prompt action. Finally, providing training on managing distractions and improving self-discipline can equip employees with the tools needed to overcome procrastination.
