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

Try to write your tasks out on a list, and cross them out as you complete each task. In the end, it's super satisfying to have completed the list :)

i get where you are are coming from, it can be hard to manage school work at times and the anxiety from trying to get things done can be overwhelming. Try to set goals/reminders for yourself when you get home from school, or give yourself a little reward every time you get something done (ex; a quick snack break, a sweet treat, or a 10 minute breathing period) You can also try dividing out time to do certain things when you get home. like giving yourself an hour to rest and eat, doing work for an hour and a half, then taking another half hour break. make sure not to cram too much work in at once as it can be overwhelming at times.

That makes two of us, doesn't it? If it helps for you to know, I've been struggling with the exact same issues as you have the past couple of months. I wouldn't say that I've managed to get rid of them completely, but I would say that I've come a long way. To answer your question, here are a few pointers to get things done: 1) Be hard on yourself. Don't go easy on yourself. I've always thought of myself as having two parts- one that wanted to do everything right, that didn't procrastinate, and didn't ruin relationships, and the other as one that did everything wrong, procrastinated, was anxious all the time and ruined several things for myself. When we go easy on ourselves, the latter seems to take over us, and we never get things done. On the other hand, when it's the former that's controlling us, we do manage to finish stuff. So, let the stronger part be the one that doesn't procrastinate and miraculously, you'll find that you won't either. 2) Ignore your anxiety. Ignore the voices in your head that fill you with despair. Tell them, "You won't control me today. I will do what I want." 3)Get to it! Once you force yourself to sit down with your school work and distance yourself from all other distractions such as social media, you'll have no option but to do your work. 4) Reward yourself. When you do manage to finish something without procrastinating, give yourself a treat! Go out to your favorite restaurant, watch that movie you've been meaning to watch, buy yourself a gift. I hope this has been of help to you. cheerio:)

Procrastination often stems from the fear of not performing up to the mark - and from "performance anxiety". Another reason that we delay the task so much is that we know when we do something late, if it doesn't turn out well - we can blame it on the "limited time". As human beings, we are conditioned to become perfectionists and want to be praised for everything that we do. Therefore, in order to get things done on time - the most important thing is to realize that it is better to get the task done, rather than delay it until the last moment.

Try to reward yourself whenever you are studying. For example, you can eat one gummy bear after 10 math problems. That will make sure that you are getting work done. Or if you watch videos instead of school work, you can have 10 minutes of free time after 45 minutes of productivity. This way you will not get overwhelmed, and you won't procrastinate either. And for your anxiety, try to find whatever cams you down, it might be music, deep breaths, dancing, whatever works for you. Just distract yourself from whatever is bothering you. I don't know what you are anxious about exactly, but I hope this helps!

This happens to almost every other person. But lately I've been following some set to sail through procrastination easily, like: 1) Understand Your goal, make a list of all things need to be done, prioritize, maybe write them down on a sticky note and paste it on your desk. 2) Take baby steps, don't over-work or you might sleep all day and will lose track of time or worse you won't be able to accomplish your goals! 3)If you have a lot of work and little time, then work very very wisely, don;t keep taking breaks for more than 5 mins, and in those breaks only take a walk outside or jog for sometime. If you follow these simple steps, you can greatly reduce procrastination and then you also have to take care of your body always

If I have a list, I'm more motivated to get things done. After I make the list, I look it over and rank the items from 1 (top priority/what I can do now easily) to however many items are listed (the last is often something that needs to be started later for one reason or another.) I'll then get that first one done if I can. If it's an email I need to send a professor or peer, I'll draft it, look it over, and send it. If it's a research paper that I need sources for, I'll do a quick search and pull 5 or 6 sources to get me started or make a quick outline of what I want to cover. This first step is always the hardest, but I've found that it makes things easy. Plus, you're able to track your progress by crossing off the items once you complete them. That always gives me a huge motivation boost!

The best way to get motivated to do things is to actually just do them. Even if you don't have the motivation to do them. The procrastinating is likely contributing to the anxiety and the anxiety is contributing to the procrastinating. If you want to get things done and stop procrastinating, do them. Don't stop pushing yourself to do them until you're motivated. Then it will just be automatic for you, no more pushing. Avoidance of things that cause anxiety actually just makes your anxiety about those things worse. It's a vicious cycle, but you can fix it. Just do it! Good luck.

I know you feel, ive been in you shoes before! You could try and just sit in a queit place and have your school work organized and just put low volume music and just do the easiest things first then work your way to the harder things! Don't over think things either! I was always bad at over thinking things and it just made it harder on myself then i should have been! Don't forget , you have teachers that are always just an email away and that would love to help you with things I am sure! Hang in there, i believe in you!

Start making checklists for each subject. For example, today I would like to... and break large assignments into smaller, more simple tasks. It’ll help a lot with procrastination. As for the anxiety, listen to music during your work. Calm, relaxing music can help you focus on your work. It also helps with the anxiety and intrusive thoughts. With anxiety, it can be easy to overthink things. Music lets you open up your mind to what you’re hearing. Checklists are also a great way to keep track of goals. Make sure to stay motivated to complete your daily self- assignment. Once you start slacking off, it’s irreversible.
