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

Take the time to learn what coping strategies work for you, and use them before you start your work. Find what helps you feel less anxious and add it to your daily routine. It can be very helpful for some people to have a consistent time when they work, so they are able to get used to it after a while and don't experience as much stress. Having a consistent time when you de-stress can also be very helpful. Coping mechanisms for anxiety can be found with an easy Google search. There are so many out there it would be impossible to summarize them all, and I promise there is at least one strategy that will work for you.

Procrastination is a very common thing that everyone faces. Being active and perfect in our work in not something that everyone can do and it is true that almost everyone tends to postpone a work to tommorow they will have to do today. This could be considered a major problem when you don't do that specific work even tommorow and keep postponing it every day. It is natural that we may feel anxious and insecure about procrastinating work. But as said earlier, this has to be dealt professionaly only when the anxiety continues for a period of time. Else, it's ok to feel this way.

Schoolwork can seem really boring and tedious for some of us and that's something we have to acknowledge! What are some activities you enjoy? Perhaps a workout makes you feel really energised? It's important to space out tasks and have an alternation between tasks we may not like and tasks that we like. Another thing that can be done is to break down school work into really simple tasks- and I mean really simple, so much that sometimes I set a goal that is way below what I know I'm capable of so that it's child's play so that I know for sure it's something that I can do. So for example you could set a task of reading just one chapter for the day. That way whatever you do after is a bonus and you'll feel that you're way ahead of your schedule. I hope this method helps with the anxiety portion as well. good luck!

Try setting a time specifically for doing school work without distractions. Turn off your phone or put it on "do not disturb" and make sure you have a quiet space with good lightening. This may help motivate you to get things done. Have a space in your home that is designated for school work only. Then, when you are in this space you may be more inclined to do your work. Having a schedule planner or way to track when you will have free time as well so that you do not feel overworked. Hopefully this helps you get things done.

School work is hard to do because we don't feel any value from it. But anxiety about being regret of not doing class work always gets in the way especially when it's near the deadline. Anxiety is painful so the best way is done the school work. How? Make a dummy of the class work. It's very easy to create a dummy like you careless if it's true or false at least you've done it. Start by simply taking a pen or open a new file then write carelessly the answers of the school work. You'll feel much better after doing the dummy, and you will be simply add some detail to each answer until it's not a dummy anymore. Then task done, hooray~

Sometimes looking at the work that needs to get done can be overwhelming. All we can see is the mountain. You need to see the base camp at the bottom. Try setting a goal for yourself to get a little done each day. When you start to see the pile getting smaller you will feel better and you'll be more enthusiastic to keep working on it. Give yourself permission to have a break but always set a goal to get a certain amount done. If this doesn't help and you are still struggling with your anxiety 7 cups has lots of useful guides to help you. Feel free to write back.

First thing's first; ask yourself why you're procrastinating; is the anxiety fuelling that procrastination? Sometimes it's hard to get started on a piece of work if we're worried that it won't be "good enough" no matter what we do. One of the best things you can do is talk to a trusted teacher about what you're feeling, and maybe ask about counselling; a lot of schools and colleges have student counselling that you can access, and you might find that it helps you in the long-term. In the short-term, talking to a trusted tutor or teacher can help you get a bit of support in the short-term; they can't help you if they don't know what you're going through. Getting things done is a nice side-effect of working on understanding why you're procrastinating :)

It sounds like anxiety is getting in the way of your focus. I can definitely understand that. You are not alone! Something that has worked for me, from personal experience, is taking many more short breaks. This way, it allows you to get much more done when you have a shorter period of time you need to focus on. What works for you could be different though, you could try taking deep breaths and doing 5 minute meditations or taking 5 minute phone breaks in between study periods. I sincerely hope this helps with time and practice. Good luck!

Sometimes procrastination and anxiety can become barriers to finishing quality work on time. A good trick to help combat procrastination and anxiety is to break tasks into smaller, more digestible chunks, so that the workload seems less daunting. For instance, if you have a book report due by a certain date, you could break that into steps to be completed at set times before the final due date: 1) read the book, 2) research and pull quotes that will support your report, 3) write a rough draft of the report, 4) edit the draft, 5) write a final draft of the report 6) turn in the report. This way, by breaking one big task into smaller tasks with spaced out "due dates", it makes the end task less daunting and more realistic, so that it is not as intimidating to start working on.

Sameee.Honestly it's so hard to get things done, like I always get distracted or tell myself I'll do it later which just makes my life harder lol .When you do your work make sure there's nothing else there that can distract you (a phone, other device or whatever it is that distracts you).Even if you really don't feel like doing it, force yourself to because that work is just gonna pile up and cause more stress later.get it done and over with.Keeping a weekly planner helps, write down the things you have to do for each day and strictly stick by it.💖 You'll get used to it after a while and it really helps with a managing Your time.
