100% foul proof 3 step plan to stop procrastination ... jk it's not as easy as that (i wish it was though)

I’ll be brutally honest with you but there is no easy way to beat procrastination. (and we are all guilty of procrastinating and you can't say otherwise) As much as we all would love an easy 1 2 3 step way to stop procrastinating it’s a lot harder than that. However, there are ways to motivate yourself to stop procrastinating. (fair warning this might not work for everyone so you should try different things you think would help you)

𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚌𝚛𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 (𝚒𝚗 𝚊 𝚗𝚞𝚝𝚜𝚑𝚎𝚕𝚕)

from what the dictionary told me ~ 

pro·cras·ti·na·tion

/prəˌkrastəˈnāSH(ə)n/

noun

the action of delaying or postponing something." your first tip is to avoid procrastination"

something we are all guilty of doing when we feel lazy ... mee all the time 

me when I make my animal crossing island look pretty instead of finishing my calculus homework on limits ... eww

1. Recognize that you are procrastinating

First off, you have to realize that you were actually procrastinating. Maybe you were delaying an important project because you were too caught up watching too many episodes of demon slayer (or you actually had a good reason for delaying your task…could not be me || i procrastinated way too much about writing a blog post about procrastination… the irony hits hard) However, when you delay yourself from finishing said task your more likely to get sidetracked and forget about finishing it.

2. Minimize distractions

This might be a hard one for a lot of us. Since a distraction could literally be almost anything. Our phones, tablets, and laptops are all potential distractions waiting for the right time to strike. From an Instagram notification or just changing a song, these are all likely distractions. When studying, you should try and put away your devices or use apps where you are locked from switching to a different app. (I know that there are a few study apps that contain timers and will notify you if you leave the app; aka flora or other apps that keep track of your progress such as flipd || these are the two that I use from time to time) Or maybe even just turning off notifications and turning on do not disturb could help you.

3. Commit to the task at hand

Try and focus on one task at a time, write a list of all the tasks you need to finish and a time for doing them. Don’t try and switch to another task if you aren’t done with the first one. (You’ll most likely forget which task you were doing or where you are at if you switch to another task)

4. Give yourself a reward

When you finish your task on the allocated time you specified, reward yourself by taking a well deserved coffee break, or a sweet dessert. This helps with positive reinforcement (for you non-psychology students: positive reinforcement is the introduction of a desirable/pleasant stimulus after a behavior, making it more likely that the behavior will reoccur) This is a good way to trick your brain into being more productive.

5. BE ORGANIZED !!
