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

Set aside a certain day and time to get your work done and during that time concentrate only on your homework and nothing else.

If there is a lot of school work you have to do, I suggest making a plan and following a schedule. Having these two things will make some space in your head and you will be able to focus better on school which can make the anxiety weaker. That is, if you follow the schedule and plan.

I suggest you do small portions at a time and when you're done reward yourself. I have the same problem, If I have a 3 page essay (8 paragraphs) due I will do a paragraph a day and reward myself with candy. it's important to remember you are more than your grade. :)

When I feel anxious about my school work, it is usually because of my procrastination. It helps to schedule time every day to finish all assignments and to study, and lessens the anxiety associated with having to rush to finish an assignment.

Create a plan, something you can follow to make sure you do all your work with plenty of time left. For big projects, divide it up and do a bit each day, leaving enough for your deadline not to sneak up on you!

I think there are different techniques that work for different people, but one thing I recommend is taking things at a slow pace, allow yourself the time you need knowing that your anxiety might get in the way. Develop a reward system for yourself (i.e. if I'm able to complete x amount of work tonight, I get to take a self care break). When you break up the work into sections, it can seem more manageable and less anxiety inducing. Planning out the time you're allowing for work, and seeing the time you've allowed for yourself can also help, as you can physically see that the work can get done. So, for some planners are really helpful. It's a matter of finding out what works best for you.

At the very moment you do it, procrastinating doesn't feel like such a big deal, because we tend to promise ourselves we'll do it later, especially when it's something that isn't always fun to do. The problem happens when we start feeling guilty, or annoyed at ourseves, or overwhelmed because there's so much to do, or it seems like such a big job we'll never get done. That makes you feel even more anxious if you're inclined to be a worrier, or struggle with anxiety. One of the things which I find helpful, is to set myself a time limit to just work on one thing. Sometimes it's half an hour. Sometimes it's an hour. Sometimes it might be 10 minutes if I'm really struggling. But I commit to whatever the timeframe is, and I know that when it gets there, if I'm STILL struggling, I can stop, and I still made some progress (which feels great!). Often though, it's the actual getting started we have more of a problem with, and keep going long after the time is up! I often tell myself that I'll "just do it" - and I'll make a start, to find that it gets done faster than I thought, and wasn't as bad as I thought, and you get a sense of achievement from completing even small tasks, which helps motivate you to do more. However you do it though, always break it down into smaller tasks so you aren't looking at something which seems too big to handle. Little by little you get there :) Good luck!

Set up a reasonable schedule for schoolwork and work in breaks. It's a gradual process to begin working consistently and efficiently, so start off doing 10 minutes at a time and gradually increase. Break tasks down into shorter units and allow yourself rewards when you are productive. You could also do breathing and meditation exercises regularly to decrease anxiety.

Well if you want to get things done, I think the easiest way is work and reward. Set a goal for yourself and when you complete it, give yourself a reward such as, "When I get my work done, then i'll play video games." Things will help you accomplish your goals.

That sounds like a conflicting situation. It's hard when you want to get things done but your anxiety is getting in the way. Maybe coming up with some ways to de-stress and focus your mind before starting work would be helpful. Mindfulness and centering yourself can be a great way to calm down and help reduce anxiety.
