How do I stop procrastinating?

Once you have rethink a situation or thing more than 3 times you are already procrastinating. You can second guess things but u will never really know how it really ends up till u try. So tell yourself that and try.

Procrastinating is easy to do and hard to stop. Instead of putting something to the side over and over again, make a schedule so you know what you need to do. Keep an agenda that helps you stay organized with what you need to do and set time limits to get the specific things done.

There are ways to stop procasinating either by using time management on a task in which once you're done with a task you can kick back and relax another way is a reward system.

What I do to stop procrastinating is make a schedule and stick to it. I put stuff that I need to do on my calendar and then that day I set alarms on my calendar so I don't forget to do the things I need to get done that day.

Make yourself a schedule! It's hard to stop yourself from procrastinating if you're not sure what needs to be done. Figure out what you need to get done. Then, decide what smaller tasks need to be done (i.e. when writing an essay, one smaller objective would be writing your thesis statement). Next, take those smaller tasks to make a general schedule. (I.e. by Monday be done x and by Tuesday be done y.) From there make yourself a DETAILED schedule. I mean detailed! Break it into 15 minute or half hour increments and write exactly what you need to be doing. Don't forget to schedule breaks and food time, though! This way, when you find yourself procrastinating you can look at your schedule and see exactly what you need to be doing!

I've been there, done that. It's hard. To this day I'm still doing it. But a little tip, if you have a deadline that's not due anytime soon and you have nothing to do, DO IT. I may seem like a waste of time, like why should I do something that isn't due in like a week. Trust me, do it straight away. Get it done and over with! Sleep early. Don't sleep at 12 in the morning just for studying. Sleep at normal times so for the next day, you have the energy to present whatever you are presenting.

Procrastination is definitely a kicker and can really affect our productivity negatively at times when we really need to be productive. Here are a few tips that help me beat procrastination: #1: I would suggest removing any distractions from your study/workspace. Distractions can come in many forms such as your cellphone, social media, or even other tasks that are more appealing. #2: I would suggest to make a list of items you need to complete. At the top, list the items that need to be done right away and cannot wait. Towards the bottom of the list, you will write down items that can be completed later on. #3: Set a timer for 30-45 min intervals during which you must stay productive. Then take 15-20 min breaks in-between your "working" time intervals. I hope these tips help :)
