10 Ways To Stop Procrastinating And Start Getting Things Done

In This Article:

It is that time of year where everyone is counting down the days until summer. We have lost the most motivation because we have worked hard for almost the entire year. We wait to the last minute these days before our midnight deadline. We do anything but the assigned work we have to get done. Believe me, I feel your pain but we have to finish these weeks before we actually get some rest this summer. Our grades need to be good so it's not a good idea for us to be procrastinating before the end of the year. Below, you can read about 10 reasons that will help us not procrastinate.

Set timer on your phone

We all will get more work done if we understand.

Put phone on "Do Not Disturb"

do not disturb

Many times we get distracted about the constant notifications are phones always have on. Putting your phone on "Do Not Disturb" will solve this problem.

Make lists

to do

If we can cross each thing off our list, we will get more motivated to get our tasks done.

Make daily goals

We each can make daily goals that will help us complete our larger tasks little by little each day.

Use your agenda

keep calm

When we use our agenda, it helps us keep more organized with all of our tasks and when they are each due.

Give yourself rewards

rewards

Once you complete you tasks then give yourself small rewards. You will be more motivated to get your tasks done if you know that you can have the candy you have been craving all day.

Limit social media use before getting work done

social media

We always tell ourselves that if we spend 10 minutes on social media then we will complete our work but let's all be honest then before we know it we have been on for an hour.

Wait to eat lunch or dinner before you get work done

dinner

We eat lunch or dinner then we are never motivated to do our work after. So try not to leave a ton of things to do after dinner because you will not be motivated.

Do not plan extra social activities to not get work done

friends activities

We would all love to do something fun every day and all day but then you will never finish your work. Don't wait until you spend time with all your friends all day and then try to make the midnight deadline.

 Do not do other things instead of getting work done

writing

Just try to avoid planning to do a lot of things if you know you have a look of work to do.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
