What are some strategies for beating procrastination?
- 1) Remind yourself of the possible consequences if you do not get down to work, then get started.
- 2) Create a to-do list. Check off things as you get them done. Use the list to focus on the things that aren’t getting done. Move them to the top of the next day’s list, and make up your mind to do them. Working from a list will give you a feeling of accomplishment.
- 3) Break big jobs into smaller steps. Tackle short, easy-to-accomplish tasks first.
- 4) Promise yourself a reward for finishing the task, such as watching your favorite TV show or going out with friends. For more substantial tasks, give yourself bigger and better rewards.
- 5) Find a place to study that’s comfortable and doesn’t allow for distractions and interruptions. Say “no” to friends and family members who want yourattention; agree to spend time with them later.
- 6) Don’t talk on the phone, send e-mail or text messages, or surf the web during planned study sessions. If you study in your room, close your door.
