To all the seasoned procrastinators out there: how did you navigate through college or university?
Great question! As a professional procrastinator, I found a few strategies that helped me survive college/uni:
Prioritizing Tasks: I learned to focus on what was due soonest or what carried the most weight in terms of my grades. This way, even if I put things off, I made sure to tackle the most important items first.
Setting Mini Deadlines: Instead of looking at a project as a whole, I broke it down into smaller tasks with their own deadlines. This made it feel less overwhelming and easier to start.
Finding Motivation: I often created a rewarding system for myself—after finishing a task, I would treat myself to something enjoyable, like a snack or an episode of my favorite show.
Using Time Blocks: I would set a timer for short bursts of focused work, followed by short breaks. Techniques like the Pomodoro Technique helped keep me focused without feeling burnt out.
Studying in Groups: Sometimes, studying with friends kept me accountable and made the process more enjoyable. Plus, I could share the workload with others.
Embracing the Pressure: I’ve learned that I often work best under pressure, so when deadlines were approaching, I used that adrenaline to motivate myself to get things done quickly.
It wasn’t always easy, but these strategies helped me manage my procrastination habit while still keeping my grades up. Good luck to all the fellow procrastinators out there!
