I too struggle with anxiety, and it can be difficult to overcome that in a school or work setting. A strategy that I have always enjoyed is a planner, organizing events, due dates, and other things into one place. It is a nice way to make lists and set aside time for yourself too.

Set a time everyday that you need to do all of your schoolwork. Try meditating if you get anxiety for at least 5 minutes everyday.

It's known that people who procastinate are masked behind hardworkers, all you need to do is once you get it done late just be confident about it, and try to be yourself and organize things earlier don't procastinate. It should be listed in your daily mantra.

Babysteps. You have to work at things slowly. PIece by piece. Do a couple questions, or little bits of readng at a time. Don't do it all at once, because personally thats how I lose focus, but if I do it in pieces, I tend to get more done.

There's great apps out there for both androids, Iphones and PC's to help eliminate procrastination by blocking the user from going on sites that they can procrastinate on or locking the user's phone for a certain time limit allowing them to get work done. There are also great musical mixes for purely studying, so any number of those can help you combat procrastination!

I would set little goals up to the due date that way you aren't trying to finish it all in the last week. Like it this week I'll do this page of the paper and next week I will tell you the other page of the paper. The following week I will proofread the paper. The last week I will finalize the paper.

From personal experience, I have noticed that what helps me overcome procrastination is creating a schedule and setting time limits in which I need to finish certain assignments. At the same time, it is important that you don't leave everything for the last minute and that you divide what you need to do and study a little bit every day. Another helpful solution would be to pick a treat for yourself for after you've achieved your daily studying goal. That could give you the necessary motivation to finish your school work on time. If you follow these tips, I believe that your anxiety concerning studying will be limited as well.

Schedules! Think of the most thorough schedule ever, make it even more detailed! Start by making a list of everything you needs to get done. Everything. It's going to look really big and scary but we can get through this. Next to each item write the due date/deadline. Now, next to that rate each one from 1 to 10. 1 being if you never do it the world will be fine, even if you still should get it done. 10 is if this doesn't get done the sun is going to implode. Write out weekly goals for each week. So look at your list if a, d, and g are due this week then they need to be done this week. If t, r, and z don't have a strict due date put them with a week that doesn't have a lot. Now go through each day and schedule all 24 hours in 30-minute increments. Make sure you have flexible room, time for sleep, time for breaks, and time for breaks. Make sure you recognize your limits and to have room to complete stuff that overflows. As the day goes by check off accomplishments and write down how long each thing took. Did you predict 20 minutes and it took 45? Did you predict 45 minutes and it took 15? Use this information to better your schedule making skills for your the future!

Create an agenda or schedule for yourself. For example, from 4pm to 5pm I will review my math notes. Anything that distracts you, put away or give to a family member or friend to hold until you are completely done your work. Try different ways to see which way helps you work and concentrate better. Do you find it more helpful to work in a group or by yourself? Does music help you concentrate or does it distract you? If you start to feel anxious, take a break for 10-15 minutes. Do some stretches, get a snack, whatever helps to calm you down.

I would suggest that you try to set an order of times you would like to get things done. And take time in between to do things you enjoy. Like, watch 10 tik toks and then write your english homework, or watch an asmr and then do 15 math problems. You don't have to take my advice but I ask you take this into consideration. I hope this helps. And if you have any questions or just need to talk with some one feel free to message me @CaringForest359.I'll be sure to be around. Hope this helped a litle bit.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
