Procrastination - the do's and don'ts
Procrastination can either be your best friend or your worst
enemy. Tiding my room, homework, going for a walk and many other things are all
subjects to my procrastination skills. I know that I always procrastinate by
baking, reading, watching YouTube, going for a swim…the list goes on. But at
the end of the day, you have to get it done. So to make things a bit easier,
here are a few tips to get going!
Do: Write a list of all the things you need to get
done starting from the most important to the least important.
Don't: Beware of the stress monster! Don't try and
think about everything you need to get done at this very second. You WILL get
it done!
Do: Listen to some relaxing music. Studies show that
classical music stimulates the brain and helps you study and get motivated.
Don't: Blow things out of portion! Things are only as
big as you make them!
Do: Take breaks. A quick walk or 5 minutes on your
phone will help you stop stressing.
Don't: Place too much pressure on yourself to make it
perfect. Nothing is going to be prefect. You can only start it, finish it and
then check it, to make it better.
Do: Set time limits! Plan what you are going to do
for 1 hour and then take a 5 minute break. It also helps if you plan out what
tasks or assessments you need to get done each weekend.
I hope these tips help you to start your tasks and to stop
procrastinating. Let's get doing!
