I have trouble with my school work due to procrastinating. And my anxiety always gets in the way. How do I get things done?

First of all, it is always good to notify your teacher and parents about your condition. Most people who procrastinate and have anxiety in the way often find that they have a high expectation of themselves. Try to just do it and be less perfectionist. Divide the task in manageable small portions, so that you can focus more and feel a little achievement when one small task is done. Also, take a break every once in a while, so it doesn't get overwhelming. I always take 10 minutes break every 45 minutes. Just to get some fresh air and a little movement is often helpful!

Anxiety has a tendency to make things seem bigger than they really are. Perhaps a planner could be used to help narrow things down

Write down your homework assignment due asap and work on them one at a time but breaks are good for you so don't stress about it

Try to get them done as soon as you realize it needs to be done. No matter how far away it's due. Do it then and there. You'll feel accomplished.

Don't be too hard on yourself for procrastinating, sometimes it's not such a bad thing! Try making a "to do" list and give yourself a reward (like watching your favourite TV show) after the list is gone!

first you have to specific the things that you required to do then you got to know that it have nothing to do with anxiety or repress it's your study so try to cool your head and enjoy every part of it

I had to contend with anxiety disorder, panic attacks, and an overwhelming amount of school work in college. I managed it by doing a couple things that are going to sound overly simple. I kept my room clean and organized. If I didn't it would distract me to no end and I could not be productive. I got a nice, small notebook with plain paper inside. I had a crazy planner with a million pages that I never used (and I wasted a lot of time with it). I made a list every single day in the small notebook. I would write down a list of everything I needed to do. I would then re-write the list, breaking the larger tasks down into prioritized smaller tasks. I placed little check boxes next to each item. Make the small tasks things you can actually accomplish that day. Be brutally realistic when you rewrite your list. Never overshoot when you rewrite your list. The idea of the small tasks list is to make overwhelmingly huge tasks manageable. Focus on full completion of those small, bite-sized tasks. Take a pen and place a check next to completed tasks on the list. Full completion of the small tasks will help you gain confidence toward your goals which will help with anxiety and procrastination. As you hone your list making skills you can begin to plan ahead and write prioritized small task lists for each day of the week making your workload as manageable as possible. There are only so many hours in the day but hopefully this system will help someone spend them with less procrastination and the ensuing anxiety it creates.

Instead of looking at your schoolwork as the ever immensive boulder of SCHOOL WORK, try to think of it in smaller terms: tinier goals. Keep cutting your homework bundles into smaller chunks of work until you can mentally prepare yourself for it. For example: instead of thinking "I have to do my homework," think: "I have to do the first half of my homework by 7pm," or even "I have to do two problems by 6pm," and then at 6pm add another 2 problems as a goal, &c. Try thinking outside the box. Maybe try doing your homework in a new environment, like on the lawn, or in a different place where you can feel more relaxed and focused.

Set yourself realistic goals and a schedule to get it done. Cramming things in at the last minute will only make the anxiety worse.

Procrastination is a serious problem that a lot of us deal with - even in the face of looming deadlines! The best way to tackle school work is the same way you would eat an elephant - a little at a time. Break your outstanding projects into manageable chunks and commit to completing one or two chunks a day. It's amazing how quickly your backlog will go down.
