A procrastinator’s worst enemy (besides a marathon of Top Chef) is the monumental assignment waiting to be done. The longer we avoid it, the more daunting it seems. One way to make those assignments less nebulous and forbidding is to break it down into little pieces. Instead of saying to yourself “Agh I have to write that 8 page paper for English,” say “I’ll work on the intro paragraph for that paper today.” Instead of writing in your planner “read homework for Religious Studies,” break the assignment into smaller specific pieces based on your attention span: plan to read pgs 1-10 in the morning, 11-20 in the afternoon, and so on. This way you don’t have to stress about having to find time and energy to tackle the entire beast at once, but rather you have to simply fit into your schedule the very non-scary and feasible smaller pieces of the now non-frightening monster that was once making it impossible for you to sleep at night.
Stay curious,
