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

you are felling anxious about your work and increasing worries.you can to stop procrastination by following motto "start small,do it now,don't think just do".

It is a well-known problem. I read online that a way to get yourself into what needs to be done is to apply 15 minutes on a timer and get started. You may well begin by organizing your work area and possibly turning off any background noise. After 15 minutes, reward yourself.... or continue until you are all done. If it helps, start an assignment, put it on hold and start another. A visible check list of what assignments have to be done (and how much time they would each take) also helps. Start with the easiest or the most difficult, depending on the time you need. Pat yourself on the back. You may be surprised that you got all done earlier than you thought. As far as school assignments are concerned, it is very much like video games in the sense that you also learn how to play those games and practice to get better. If you look at your homework as competitive, you will enjoy it a lot more.

Take things one step at a time. It is easier to tackle anxiety when you make the problem or project smaller. It's important to reward yourself for the work you do get done and it makes it that little bit easier to keep going.

Try breaking down your schoolwork in smaller parts, get a calendar to write when you'd do all your tasks, and get someone to get you to be committed to doing your tasks on a regular basis.

You could try setting a schedule and breaking down the work into small sections. If an assignment is due on Friday, try working on it for 30 minutes each day. It will also be helpful to join a study group or study with a friend. Perhaps, ask yourself why you allow procrastination to get in the way. If you can answer that question it will be easier to manage.

Many people have the same struggle. Sometimes creating a strict schedule can help, or having a friend or family member make sure you get done what you need to do.

Make a written plan. For example start studying at 3 pm. Take a break at 3:30 get a snack. Study more break and so on. If you take small breaks while studying maybe the anxiety will lower. Good luck with this.

Relax and try again later! Don't wait so last minute to do your homework, do it the same day you get it and take breaks in between!

I suggest you to look for a psychologist who is specialized in procrastination because they will teach you (in a personalalized way) a schedule and how you can improve your way of doing things. Being followed in this case by a professional is what will show you the best immediate improvement.

By keeping a diary of when specific work is due can help you identify all work that is needed to be done. By taking things step-by-step you can allow yourself to break down the activity into bits and slowly but surely complete the task.
