Procrastination

Hey, sorry it's been a while - Maya and I have been revising for exams have and been ill, but we're back and ready to write more posts for you!


I'm so excited for Christmas, but, as usual, I've been set holiday homework. In the holidays I always procrastinate and leave it to the last day to do my homework, which means I never relax in the holidays. But now when I do my homework I put away my phone and any other distractions - I always find myself on them! I'm going to give you a few tips on how to complete your homework and have an awesome holiday!

1) Avoid any distractions - they are the main reason you procrastinate, so avoiding distractions when working is key.

2) Have a small snack - brain power is essential, you don't want to be half asleep when doing homework. Having a snack can help you complete homework at a higher standard, keeps you more alert and gives you more energy to be determined to get your homework done and out of the way.

3) Try and create a goal or reward - doing this helps greatly as it makes you more determined to finish your homework and gives you something to work towards.

4) Working environment - try and work in a place with a good working environment is (eg quiet, no distractions etc)

5) Take short breaks - taking short breaks between each piece helps because it helps you to concerntrate and focus better.

6) Free time - think of the free time you will have to enjoy once your homework is complete - this will help motivate yourself to get your homework done.


Even though we hate homework, it has to be done. I hope these tips helped! Plenty of new posts coming soon. New posts every Monday and Thursday!
