Negative thoughts make a person dull and unable to function properly. Malefic thoughts spread laziness, procrastination, etc. Ample time can be wasted with useless thoughts. A person with no control over his / her thoughts has no control over his / her life. Thoughts lead to actions, actions become habit, habits form one's behaviour, behaviour builds character, and character ultimately makes one’s personality. If we don’t do the things which we ought to do, then we have wasted that particular moment which would remain a permanent loss of time from our life which would never come back. This precious time could have been spend for the other daily chores which we had to do anyway or something productive.

Steps

1. Identify the different thought threads
   
2. Allow a particular time period for it
   
3. Keep doing your essentials which you were in the middle of doing
   
4. Keep a running list of the thoughts which keeps pestering between your work
   
5. Think about all those on your allowed time
   
6. Make a list of things which you have to do anyway
   
7. Keep a running list for it too
   
8. The sooner you finish those things which you have to do anyhow, the more time you get to think about those thoughts listed
   
9. Talk with someone about it! Talking about things puts a little distance between you and your thoughts so they aren't so consuming.
