I have a hard time studying prior to a test and completing my projects. I’m trying to end my procrastinator ways but failing to do so due to the fact that I’m too lazy to even end it. What can I do to stay productive and organized? How can I save myself from procrastination before there new school year starts?
When you get a due date, make a schedule for preparing for it and stick to it. For instance, if I have an ochem exam on Friday:
Tuesday: rewrite notes into study guide
Wednesday: go over study guide, make flash cards for reactions, study flash cards
Thursday: study flash cards, do practice exam
Friday: last-minute review
Also works for breaking up the writing of essays and lab reports, or the completion of a project. I find it less odious to study when I have small chunks in mind, instead of some big task that’ll take forever.
@bodangles Thank you for the help!
