4 ANTI-PROCRASTINATION TIPS

Countdown Rule: Count down from 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and on 1 force yourself to work. And no, you can’t stretch the countdown forever.

3 Minute Rule: Start working on the Thing for three minutes, which is barely the amount of time it takes to brush your teeth, and if by the end of it you still HATE YOUR LIFE then see what’s wrong. The hardest part is getting started- if you’re still struggling once you start, your problem isn’t procrastination.

The Absolutely Nothing Technique (TANT): if you’re scrolling on YouTube or whatever and procrastinating, stop and stare at the ceiling. Do absolutely nothing. Don’t pick up your phone, don’t sleep, don’t do anything but stare. Eventually you’ll realize how stupid this is and how you might as well work. verb: tanting ;)

Clean Your Room: similar to the previous one and very self-explanatory. Clean your room- if you don’t like doing it, eventually you’ll realize you’d rather just sit down and work. You’ll get a bit of your space clean as well!

6th August - What is your favourite summertime movie? pacific rim. hands down. actually i haven’t watched it this summer so maybe i should. it’s not set in the summer as far as i know but it’s definitely got the summer action blockbuster vibe and it’s one of my top movies of all time !!

7th August - Do you read a lot in the summer? yes! i read a ton more in the summer. although as i’ve said before i don’t do well without external structure, so unless i have someone else to help me be strict about reaching my reading goals, i usually read four books at a time and then nothing for a week. (right now i’m 2 books ahead of my yearly goodreads goal!)
