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

Keep yourself organised. Create a timetable, and prioritise the harder work first. Get rid of all distractions: games, your phone, your laptop, anything that you'll waste time on. Take breaks and reward yourself later.

First of all, breathe. Don't get winded up on school because your mental health is more important than your school work. Divide your subjects by little bits and decide what is due before what. Take your time and don't stress yourself out. What I do is figure out which work takes less time and I do it first, and then i do it till I finished everything.

I've had this exact problem myself. Although I understand this is easier said than done, try to treat your work as if it were easier than it is. Tell yourself you only intend to start the project/assignment, and you might find yourself doing more than that. If not, at least you progressed! Do a tiny bit more in a little while! Take baby steps, and try taking timed breaks (although timed breaks don't work for every assignment). You can also split the work into smaller, more manageable chunks to prevent procrastinating. Don't expect to completely get rid of procrastination overnight! It's a very long process. Even now, it hasn't really gone away completely for me. Even so, I've made immense progress and am doing MUCH better than I was during my worst.

Practice time management. Set times to do your school work. It is sometimes helpful to start with short periods of time and then reward yourself by taking a break, or a snack. A good time management will lower your anxiety by giving you a better control of your life.

It can be tough to study when you are feeling anxious! The pressure to get things right in study can feel so overwhelming sometimes that it can feel just about impossible to even start! The more you tell yourself that you can't do it, or that you're not good enough, or that you'll do it another day, the more likely it is that you'll avoid doing your study. And of course, that then feeds into having more trouble with your school work. This is because our thoughts, feelings, behaviours and even how we feel physically are all connected! Sometimes changing just one of those things in this cycle can make a big difference! One good way to start working through is to set some small goals. Focus on spending 10 minutes on a study task. Can you concentrate for 10 minutes? Then in another 10 minutes, think about whether to try for another 10. It can help to break things down. The same is true of assignments. Sometimes an assignment can look pretty big and that's scary, but breaking it down into smaller pieces can make it much easier.

It's all about taking a deep breath and taking things one step at a time. When you break things up into small chunks it's easier to tackle it. Set up a roster of what you have to do, and schedule it daily so you can tick things off when you're done.

First things first: create a soothing playlist. Select a couple of your favorite songs or songs that describe your mood. Calm down. Give yourself ten minutes to just listen to songs. Then, create a schedule or a list of things you need to do. Underline the ones that need your attention the most. Start out slowly and move your way down the list. Always make sure that you get a little break in between work time. Focus on something that you can zero in on whenever you're feeling anxious - whether that be a particular person or a thing. It's hard concentrating when you're feeling anxious, but you have to put yourself first. Remember that you always have something to hold on to and that most importantly, you are in control of procrastination - procrastination doesn't control you.

Lower barriers that prevent you from starting on school work. Organize your workspace books, pencils ahead of time so that you can easily begin working on school work.

I would say do it a little bit at a time. When you see all of the work, it can seem overwhelming. But tackle it just one small task at a time. Then once you get started, it feels so good to see all the things you've accomplished :)

I would start by splitting up the work into smaller portions and plan to do each portion on a specific day. You should also remember to reward yourself for the work that you get done. Sometimes by setting smaller, daily goals, it makes the work seem less big. Rewarding your self gives you more motivation to do the work.
