Preventing Procrastination During Finals
The worst thing you could do in finals week is wait till the last minute to do things. From personal experiences, procrastinating could lead to you being totally overwhelmed. Things just pile higher and higher until getting an F is inevitable. This is why you need to take steps prior to all of the chaos of finals weeks.
- Get organized
You are more likely to procrastinate if you don’t have a set plan or idea for completing your work
- Eliminate Distractions
Put your in a non-compromising Environment so that you can maintain focus
- Prioritize
Make a checklist that differentiates larger value tasks (Testing periods) from smaller value tasks (getting a haircut).
- Set deadlines
Set deadlines that earlier than the required time so you stay ahead of schedule
- Take a break
Don’t burn out. Give yourself a break from studying every 45 minutes and do something interesting.
- Reward yourself
Pat yourself in the back every now and then. It’s important to reward your good habits so that you have more incentive to strive at your best.
