Essentially, procrastination is the action of delaying and postponing something. This comes in many forms, such as sleeping instead of cleaning your room and watching movies instead of doing something production.
However, the most common form of procrastination (especially in students) is doing anything besides homework. Some students are really lucky to be punctual and do their assignments early. Sadly, I'm not one these people, but I have been working hard to procrastinate less.
The first thing I do is put away any distractions. This includes my phone, my computer, and anything else that will easily distract me. If I have to use the computer to type, I will usually disconnect from the internet so that I will so be tempted to surf the web.
The second thing I do is set goals and reward myself afterwards. For example, if I need to read ten pages for AP Euro, then I will usually give myself a reward of two fruit gummies for every two pages I read.
The last thing I do is take a five minute break for every thirty minutes of work I do. This ensures that I do not feel overworked and exhausted.
Hopefully you can use these tips to help you with that never-ending struggle of procrastination or you have your own set of tips that help you. Good luck!
