~combatting procrastination~
hey loves! although it’s not a major struggle, i know that sometimes i slip into procrastinating and holding back on doing work. a lot of times when i’m tired from softball practice the last thing i want to do is study after. here are some tips i use to be productive, even when i don’t feel like it.
finding the cause: there are many reasons WHY you are procrastinating, first we need to find the root of the problem.
you’re disintrested in your work
there might be another reason, but these are the main ones
having the right mindset:
identifying your problem/realizing you have this struggle
identify what distracts you
reflect on how you feel when you procrastinate
think about the negative consequences of procrastinating
breaking up your tasks into easier steps
fighting feelings of laziness (when you want to stop, tell yourself to stop in 5 minutes)
designate when you can rest and when you need to work
creating a routine for success:
eliminate distractions (ex. putting your phone in another room where you cannot see it)
put your phone on do not disturb
if you’re talking to someone, politely tell them that you have work you need to finish
creating a clean environment to work in
creating to-do lists to feel productive
create a routine for when you work!
staying consistent to your routine
it’s not easy, but you can fight this feeling! by working on your mindset and routine, you’ll be productive in no time!
