"Four Questions to Help You Overcome Procrastination" was an interesting take. The author suggested asking yourself what to do first to get started. The other questions to ask yourself were: What happens if I DON'T do this now? How can I make this easier? What are my 3 biggest priorities for the day? They are really great questions to ask yourself, and I can see how it is so effective.
The second article I read, "How to Beat Procrastination", was a bit different in structure, but it suggested very similar ideas. As with the first article, this one really pushed getting started; taking the first step. Also, there was an emphasis on making the whole project as simple as possible. Start small and work up to the goal.
All in all, the articles gave me a lot of insight into how I can beat procrastination in my own life. I am looking forward to trying these principles to see if I can improve my performance in school and life!

Hey, Brady!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I think everyone struggles with procrastination, at least to some extent. I think the tip about identifying your top three priorities is a really good strategy. For me, it can seem overwhelming to consider everything that I have to get done -- when you take the top three, you create a more manageable sub-goal that allows you to break your task down. This kind of thing has helped me with all sorts of projects and assignments; things just feel better when you attack them in bite-sized pieces.
