Time Strategies
As students and just as people in general, we all have issues with procrastination. Whether it's simply not wanting to start a project, or thinking to much about something that then causes us to have anxiety, it affects us all. Thankfully, there are strategies that we can use to help us be better at these things and eventually get to a point that we no longer have to worry about wasting our time.
The first article I read was, The Psychology of Checklists: Why Setting Small Goals motivates us to Accomplish Bigger Things, and it was actually very inspiring and made a lot of sense. I already use a lot of checklist throughout my day and the week. Being able to visually see my progress and check it off really helps me feel better about what I am accomplishing. It is also important to look back on your days work and feel even more motivated to accomplish your items the next day.
The second article I read was, How to build a realistic study plan that you’ll actually stick to. This one was interesting as well as it calls on you to be realistic with yourself and how you plan your study habits. This is also important, because being over zealous about your ability to get everything accomplished at one time is unrealistic. Instead, we should be mature enough to recognize what is attainable and plan ahead for the worse so we are the most prepared that we can be.
The last article I read was, The Important Habit of Just Starting. This article was also insightful on how we can easily get caught up with the project we are planning to take on before it occurs, therefore we are liable to not even start it. Having all this pent up anxiety about a project you haven't started does not do you any good. By just starting the project we are much more likely to finish it because once we are working on it, it doesn't seem so bad after all.
