Editor's Notes

  1. Procrastination is a trap that many of us fall into. Most of us procrastinate to some degree. Procrastination can hold you back from achieving academic excellence. This guide will provide you with tips to avoid procrastination.
  2. Students procrastinate due to many reasons: Unclear goals. Fear of failure. Overwhelming thoughts. Anxiety. Perfectionism. Lack of motivation. 
  3. Procrastination is often confused with laziness, but they are very different. Procrastination is an active process – you choose to do something else instead of the task that you know you should be doing. In contrast, laziness  suggests apathy, inactivity and an unwillingness to act.
  4. You may also be procrastinating if you: Fill your day with low-priority tasks. Leave an item on your To-Do list for a long time. Waste your time with unimportant tasks. Wait to be in "right mood," or wait for the "right time" to tackle a task.
  5. You will procrastinate if you're disorganized, these strategies will help you get organized. Keep a To-Do List: This will prevent you from "conveniently" forgetting about overwhelming tasks. Tackle the hardest tasks at your peak times: Identify when you're most effective, and do the tasks that you find most difficult at these times. Use task and time-management apps: Download a time-management or organizer application to effectively manage your tasks.
  6. Forgive yourself for procrastinating in the past: Self-forgiveness can help you to feel more positive about yourself. Commit to the task: Focus on doing, not avoiding. Promise yourself a reward: If you complete a difficult task on time, reward yourself with a treat. Act as you go: Tackle tasks as soon as they arise.
  7. Eliminate Distractions: By limiting the number of distractions around you, you're more likely to get done what you need to do.  Prioritize: Prioritize your work and assignments. Set Deadlines: Set personal deadlines and work accordingly to better manage difficult tasks. Take a Break: Take a 10- to 15-minute break from your school work every now and then. Reward Yourself: Rewarding yourself will create that extra motivation to get the job done.
