When I used to read, I always put off homework until Sunday evening. In college, the same goes for me. I only started reviewing one week before the exam. During that period, I would be so busy that I didn't even have time to eat, and my final grades were not worse than those I started reviewing a month ago. So I enjoy the feeling that no matter what I do, I always procrastinate until the deadline, believing that this is efficient and won't waste time. It was not until I saw the term "procrastination" that I realized that I had gone deep into the pit.
Procrastination is a common phenomenon, with a survey showing that approximately 75% of college students believe that they sometimes procrastinate, while half of them believe that they always procrastinate. On the surface, procrastination may not have an impact on life, but its psychological impact is still profound. Often, procrastination leads to delays and self blame for the consequences of procrastination. In severe cases, it can also cause anxiety disorder. So once you find yourself suffering from procrastination, you must not be careless.

Procrastination is a disease, it must be treated! How to treat it?
Concentrate attention
When we procrastinate, there are often more interesting things to do. So the first thing we need to do is cut off the sources of interference, such as mobile phones, computers, and the internet. Then take a deep breath and always believe that you can accomplish it today.
Easy first, difficult later
When treating procrastination, we'd better do simple things well first, and then we will feel satisfied and confident to continue to do difficult things.
Learn to arrange
Prioritize your day's work and prioritize the most important and difficult tasks at the best time in your mental state, which is also the time for the highest work efficiency. Even if it is not completely completed in the end, it will not cause significant losses.
Make a note
Make a memo of what you need to do today and stick it in the most prominent position. If necessary, you can also set an alarm clock to remind yourself at all times.
Rewards and punishments are appropriate
You can set a goal for yourself to complete it on time every day, which can allow you to play games or entertain yourself for a while. If you haven't completed it, you should limit your favorite activities. But this must have sufficient self-control to be implemented.
Warm tip: procrastination is not born. It may be affected by the surrounding environment, or it may be resistance to something, but procrastination does affect physical and mental health. Throw away the habit of procrastination and start from waking up in the morning. come on.
