One of the great things about Uni is that you don’t have anyone nagging you about what you should be doing.  One of the worst things about Uni is that you don’t have anyone nagging you about what you should be doing. 

It’s all too easy to fall into the procrastination trap. Hey, most of us do it, and it’s especially common when we’re more stressed about stuff.  If you’re fed with putting things off to the last minute or indulging in continuous scrolling instead of writing that assignment, then we’ve got 5 top tips to get you back on track.

Commit to 15. Sit down and commit to focusing for just 15 minutes. When it’s up, congratulate yourself for having started and commit to another 15.  Rinse and repeat until you get things done

Eat the Frog. What’s the thing you’re looking forward to least amongst the things that are piling up? Do this first. Once done, everything else will seem so much easier!

Break It Down. If the takes seems too overwhelming or huge, try breaking it down into smaller pieces.

Make a Promise to yourself. Isn’t it amazing that we’re usually much better at promising other people than ourselves? Start committing to the future you and where you want to get to. Start with that essay!

Set a Schedule. Try scheduling things in across the week. For example review your Tuesday lecture on Wednesday mornings or always go to the library on a thursday Afternoon and focus on assignments.

And of course, make sure you’re looking after your sleeping, eating and exercise. Not having a healthy balance can really have a negative effect on your energy levels and interfere with your ability to get things done.
