Let's go ahead & get started today with "Part 4 - I'll
Stop Procrastinating Tomorrow".
Part 4 - I'll Stop Procrastinating Tomorrow
============================
Procrastination is a schedule buster. It's easy to put
things off until later, especially when you dread the task
such as writing a term paper. But in college, this is a
real problem. If you put off your assignments or studying
for tests, you are only hurting yourself. Procrastinating
leads to stress and anxiety not to mention poor
performance. You CAN stop procrastination from affecting
your schoolwork.
It can be difficult to start working. Most of the time,
however, not starting seems to be related to fear of poor
results or negative evaluations than it is to the actual
difficulty of the work. Aim to subdivide tasks into small
steps and convince yourself that to get started all you
need is 10 full minutes working on a task. Often, the 10
minutes will elapse and you'll be right into the swing of
things, prepared to continue on productively.
Sometimes you just don't feel motivated to do your
schoolwork. It might help to realize that for many people
motivation isn't a prerequisite to action…it is a result
of it! Try working for a short time and see if you can "get
into it." If your motivation problem seems more substantial,
it might help to realize that when you aren't motivated to
do school work, you aren't actually out of
motivation…you're just motivated to do something else.
Make a schedule. Allocate specific times to complete tasks
using daily planners. We have a whole chapter on that in
this book. Your planner should always be handy and you
should refer to it often. Once you make your schedule,
follow it. Work with a roommate or friend to motivate each
other. Remember always that once the work is done, you will
have more time for yourself, so stick with that schedule.
Make two activity lists: "Things I Like To Do" and
"Things I Have To Do". Mix up activities from both
lists and work on each activity for a short period of time.
Alternating between fun and work helps to maintain
motivation and interest. All work and no fun is another
schedule buster. You don't have to be working ALL the
time, but you do have to complete what needs to be done.
Next time we'll be discussing a little about "Stop The
Cramming".
