We all have the habit of delaying tasks to the last moment only to panic then. In order to get the work done then, you might need to continuously work for hours without resting. This only ends up in frustration, completing the work just for the sake of getting it done without much interest. Given below are some tips that can be used to keep procrastination at bay:

BE ORGANISED

Learn how to keep things in an organized way, you might receive many assignments in a week with different deadline for each so keep a record of the same in a calendar or some other apps. Set reminder for each if you feel there are high chances of forgetting. Sometimes there are so many things that are loaded at the same time so it is necessary to have a reminder.

SET MENTAL DEADLINE

Have a mental deadline for each task, if you have an assignment that is due next week, try to complete it 1-2 days in advance. This will give you ample amount of time to make changes and handle things if required instantly. This will also help you avoid last moment issues like not being able to complete it or plagiarism level and so on.

TAKE BREAKS

This is one of the simplest yet most useful tips to increase work efficiency. No matter whether you have to study for long hours or do an assignment, you should always take short breaks of  5-10 mins after every 30 mins. During this time you can have some snacks, listen to a song, walk for a while, check social media, etc. After the break you will find yourself able to focus better than if you would have continued it. So instead of getting things done in one go while sitting for hours, focus on having breaks and doing it.

DO HARD THINGS FIRST

Most of the time it is because of the harder part that we keep on postponing the whole thing. The best way to tackle this is to do that part first, if you have to complete some mathematical problems do it, after that the rest of the part won’t take much time. Same applies for learning as well, study the harder topics first and then go for the easier ones. After completing the harder part you will feel the enthusiasm and will have confidence to go for the rest also.
