Five Tips to Help You Overcome Procrastination
Procrastination can hurt your career/schooling. Your boss & teachers expect you to complete projects on time and to keep up with even the most tedious aspects of your job. Procrastination can keep you from doing your job well and leave your boss/teachers dissatisfied with your performance. Here are five things you can do to help you overcome procrastination
Reward Yourself for Not Procrastinating: Give yourself a small reward after you complete a boring task. If you know a coffee and cookie break is waiting for you when you are finished doing something tedious, you will be inspired to get it done.
Make Procrastination Unnecessary: You may put off a large project because it seems overwhelming. Break Large Projects into small chunks. Dividing a big job into a series of smaller tasks will make it seem less overwhelming.
Prioritize the Tasks That Cause You to Procrastinate: List the things you've been putting off from most to least important, or in order of when each item needs to be completed.
Don't Give Yourself an Excuse to Procrastinate: You may put off starting a task because you don't think you'll have enough time to finish it. For example you have ten minutes left until you can go home. Use the little time you have to do something that will only take a few minutes, such as putting away files. Before you know it, you will get all those short, annoying tasks done.
Find a "Procrastinating Buddy": Partner with a co-worker who also procrastinates. Find tasks you both have that will take the same amount of time to do. Plan to meet for a cup of coffee or a short chat when you have completed those tasks.

Don't try to study on a hot Sunday afternoon. Make yourself a time table to study so many hours a day for 20 minutes at a time. After each 20 minute segment take a 10 minute break and work out your timetable so that you do not have to study on a weekend day.

Think about how you could end up if you don't study---
Living in a trailer park and eating spam and crackers for dinner.
