My Very Un-useful Pointless Tips On Avoiding Procrastination

This year I have taken procrastination to a new level, I don't just avoid doing homework and assignments anymore I don't even do them at all. I have started to procrastinate so much that I am just not doing them.
so today I am going to present you with the steps of procrastination and some points to avoid procrastinating, even though they NEVER work!

The Steps Of Procrastination

  • The internet: this includes social media (mainly tumblr) however it has progressed mainly into finding a television series with more than one season and trying to watch every episode the last night I have left to do an assignment. 
  • Food: everyone does this but food is a great way to procrastinate because it takes so long to cook and if it doesn't its not really filling. 
  • Cleaning unnecessarily: this is the point in the procrastination that you know you are getting desperate. No one has posted anything new on Instagram for 2 hours and you've eaten enough food to feed an african family for a week but you still just can't do your assignment, so you start cleaning you room and doing the dishes. 
  • Exercise: you have no other options now, the house is spotless and you couldn't stand to watch another movie. so you decide to go for a run because "OMG I ate all that food"even though you haven't done exercise since last time you were procrastinating you decide now is the time to be really fit.
  • The last straw: it's 12 am - 1am and you have given up on everything so you start you're assignment but you cant finish it because the last step of procrastination sets in; sleep. 

My Very Un-useful Pointless Tips On Avoiding Procrastination 

  • Turn the internet of at the modem, it wont harm you. Oh, you need the internet for your assignment? Do it on your parents computer, the funnest thing you'll find on there is paint, and also they can check the history really easily. 
  • Eat a good healthy meal of lunch or dinner before you even try to start. Put some snacks on your desk and a bottle of water. 
  • Either go outside to do your assignment or confine yourself to a tidy space just not your own room, if you're in your own room you'll get distracted. 
  • Now is not the time to exercise, you haven't been on a run in a month doing it now is not necessary but if you really need to go constrict yourself to doing half your assignment before you go for a run as a break. 
  • You will now get a fantastic sleep because your assignment will already be done!
NOTE: this can all be avoided by not being a lazy shit and actually doing your assignment before the night before but well, thats never going to happen.
