3. Procrastination
Procrastination means putting things off until the last possible minute. Do you remember in school putting off essays and doing them the night before or getting them in late? Do you find that people are always asking you whether you have yet finished a task? Completing tasks that you need to get done will give you a good sense of achievement and mean that you do not have to worry so much about things you haven’t done.
• Check with yourself regularly if what you’re doing is actually important or if it is just more enjoyable/interesting than what you should be doing.
• Once you’ve reached a break time, look at the list and decide if you want to deal with the things now or later. Return to what’s left in your notebook at the end of the day and do the things that are important
• Estimate how long you will be able to work on the task you are meant to be doing and before bored/distracted & divide your day/task into chunks accordingly.
• Use a notebook - If things pop into your mind that distract you, write or draw them down but continue with the task you’re supposed to be doing!
