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

I have found that having a planner has helped me with this. If this isn’t your cup of tea, try blocking certain times each day to get a few things done. In my experience this has left me feeling less anxious and more accomplished.

Make lists and charts of what you have to do and when you want to achieve these tasks. If you miss the time you wanted to get something done, rewrite a new time

You can get things done by making a to do list, or scheduling when to get things done. When you have a to do list, it makes you feel productive so you’ll get stuff done more.

Put away all distraction. I find it also helps to make a comfy and happy place for you to study or works. Maybe try studying with a parent or a friend to keep you on track to!

1st fix your problem with anxiety 2nd think of what you need to do is important like a goal or somthing

Maybe try setting a goal for yourself, try not to procrastinate because if you procrastinate, then when the assignment is due the next day or it's already midnight, your anxiety will kick in and it's hard to get things done by that time.

Hi! Thanks so much for reaching out! Procrastion is a tricky one to deal with. Sometimes the best thing to do is just get the hard stuff done before you move on to something you like doing. In regards to the anxiety part, I would need to know a little bit more about your anxiety before I could answer that part. Please feel free to message me at your convenience so that I could fully answer your question.

Have you tried creating a schedule/timetable for yourself? It is important to be able to work efficiently but also know your limits. For example; you could focus on a piece of schoolwork for 15 minutes then take a break and see if you are feeling confident enough to continue with it. If your anxiety is a big problem, perhaps you could attend a study group to receive extra help or even meet with a group of friends to feel supported. If you are still struggling, it may be wise to talk to a teacher you can trust and let them know how you’re feeling and if there is anything that could be done to reduce your anxiety and help you feel more motivated. (A great tip for motivation is creating a bullet journal!)

Make sure that you reward yourself for doing even the slightest of things, like completing one paragraph of an essay, so that you won’t feel like giving up. Make sure that you take breaks, but if you need to, time them and make sure you get back to it so that you don’t procrastinate more. Remind yourself what this is doing for you and how well you’re going to do in the future

It is nice to count the number of days until the day of your assignment/test, and then break up your studies to fit all of those days. That way you should have light work to do everyday, while reducing your own anxiety about studies, because you are actually preparing for tests and getting your assignments done in a timely fashion. Making this a habit will not only help your school performance, but also alleviate your feelings of anxiety.
