Sometimes, it's really hard to get work done, and by sometimes, I mean all the time. When it comes to chores, errands, or homework, it used to be so alluring to me to just put off tasks until the last minute, until I was faced with a feeling of panic when I knew I was really cutting it close. I used to rely so heavily on that pressure of getting something done quickly. It gave me a thrill, so much that I procrastinated every single task until the last minute. Unfortunately, procrastination isn't really a sustainable way of getting things done, and my terrible habit caused plenty of sleepless nights in college as I crammed to get a week's worth of studying done in one night.
While I was able to get away with procrastinating homework in high school, I quickly learned that it wasn't going to fly in college. If I wanted to be successful, I was going to have to consciously work to stop my bad habit. It wasn't easy, but I came up with a system that works well and keeps me organized.
Ultimately, if there's one key to avoiding procrastination, it's staying organized. Slowly but surely, with the right mindset, I was able to unlearn my procrastination habits and get into a healthier, more productive routine of getting my work done. If I can do it, then I am 100 percent certain anyone can, too.
