Combatting Procrastination

I remember watching this video a few years ago! But even since then I feel like it’s only resonated more with me. I obviously haven’t quite cracked the code to procrastination yet considering I’ve been doing the majority of my work from this semester in the past few weeks, but I’ve noticed a few things during this. Stress is ultimately the only thing that gets me to finally do something I’ve put off, so setting mini-deadlines for myself has been helping (example: setting a goal to do an assignment in an hour). But because of my procrastinative nature, sometimes I’ll even end up putting off those deadlines. I combat this by allowing extra time for myself to complete something (I consider it “overflow” time/days) but I try to avoid using those at all costs.
