Procrastination Station

Hello there!

I am sure many of you (including myself) find it challenging to get work done in a productive manner. Well I am here to tell you that you aren't alone and that I have a couple of helpful challenges to get you moving again!

What is School? Well in summary it is a place where we LEARN . RESEARCH . EVALUATE and so when creating these challenges I kept these in mind. Often when we procrastinate it doesn't affect the LEARN or the EVALUATE because we mostly go to class and attend our examinations. It is the RESEARCH that gets us. So you are already 66% productive if you go to class and your exams!

Well here is the first challenge!

1. RESEARCH: Study - The most productive way to study for a procrastinator does not require alot of writing, but a simple task. Taking a blank sheet of paper, on both sides fill up as much notes from the lecture slides / class notes that you can fit. Include diagrams which you would draw out yourself. Make the font as small as possible so you can fit alot. Once you are done filling up both sides THAT's IT! Now over the course of a few days, when you are "Procrastinating", you will have that sheet of paper that you can just stare at. Because of the combination of pictures and text, you can absorb as much information as you wrote down. Flip the page over a few times reading what you have written but never having to touch your computer. This is the best method that I found gets me good marks! ALSO, don't forget to subcategorize each topic so that the topics don't run together on the page. AND don't make it too messy ;)

2. RESEARCH: The Goal - The second challenge gets you moving everyday. Set a goal for yourself to do at least 1 thing a day towards your education, be it adding a paragraph to a paper, or researching a topic, or reading through a lecture. Most of us are scared of the giant workload we have and end up being productive for one hour and then goofing off for the rest. SO use that hour to do the most important thing on your list. Tackle it then BREATH! You'll find you will get more done in a week and you will feel accomplished because you did something everyday!

These are just simple strategies I have used in my education and now I am in my Master's Degree teaching other young minds!

Cheers,
