Now and then, we all feel tired and don’t want to do what we should be doing. As a result of this, we don’t do our work, causing us to get stressed out. Examples of procrastination include, saving work to the last minute, doing something unproductive when we should be doing our work, or the common one, coming up with excuses why we couldn’t or didn’t do it. Procrastination is one of the worst habits you can get yourself into. It leads to being very stressed, overwhelmed, and unhappy. With that said, here are the top 5 ways to stop procrastinating.
The number one way to stop procrastinating, is to make a list of everything you have to do. This will help you stay organized, as well as teach you some time management skills. If you see a list, it might motivate you to work, so you can cross things off, and relax. A list will make it easier for you to see what you should do first and last, based on most importance, to least importance. Lists are a good idea.
The second way to stop procrastinating, is to put away all distracting things. The most common things include, phones, remotes, computers, and ipods. These things take your attention away from your work, with text messages, games, emails, notifications, TV shows, music and movies. It really isn’t a good idea to have any electronics out doing any kind of work. Putting away these things will help you stay focused, therefore helping you to get your work done.
The third way to stop procrastinating, is to ask someone to help or join you while you do your work. If you have a parent or friend sitting by you, they can help you with any questions you have, or just help you stay focused. The best thing to do, is to have a friend working on the same thing as you, so you both can get the work done, and help each other. Make sure you do not conversate unimportant things with them, or both of you will get distracted. Stay on task until you are finished.
The fourth way to stop procrastinating, is to think of the consequences if you do not get your homework done. You can motivate yourself to do work doing this. Your parents or co-workers, could be mad at you, you could lose trust from your employees, you would be stressed out, and be falling behind. Thinking of these things could help you realize that this is important and it could affect your life majorly. Doing your work is important.
The fifth and final way to stop procrastinating, is to set goals for yourself. Setting goals will help you feel more willing to do your work. This will help you feel satisfaction in doing your work, to achieve your goals. Some good goals to include, are doing your work right when you get home from school, and to pay attention in your least favorite subject. This will help you greatly.
If you take all these steps, it will help you to stay focused, help achieve your goals, and manage your life, and time. Your life will be so much better, with less worries and arguments.
