Procrastination <\/strong>is what happens when we needlessly delay starting or finishing tasks up to the point where this causes us discomfort. (Solomon & Rothblum, 1984)<\/p>\n

    Procrastination isn\u2019t the same thing as laziness.<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Everyone procrastinates for different reasons, but the most common one is the fear of not being able to do what needs to be done well.<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        How can we avoid procrastination?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

        1.Reflect<\/strong>: Ask yourself why you put things off.<\/h2>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        2. Change your perspective:<\/strong> How would you eat an enormous piece of cheese? In small pieces.<\/h2>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        3. Set objectives<\/strong>. Make a manageable to-do list. When you finish it, reward yourself.<\/h2>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        4. Your surroundings matter. Avoid distractions.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        5. Focus <\/strong>on what you want to achieve and not on what you want to avoid.<\/h2>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        6. Motivation has to come from within<\/strong>. It can\u2019t come from outside. Write why achieving your objectives is important to you \u2013 this will help you focus on getting your work done.<\/h2>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        7. Take an active part <\/strong>in your classes and interact with your classmates.<\/h2>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        You mustn\u2019t lose sight of the power of taking small steps \u2013 they can also take you where you want to go. The important thing is to keep moving forward. <\/strong><\/p>\n
