Just simply doing what we planned to do saves us alot of panick and stress...
Be it personal commitments, work commitments or academic commitments, if you know that you need to do something always try be all means to avoid procrastination. As they say, 'procrastination is the thief of time' and you will always regret not doing what you had to do on time, while you still have time. By waiting and leaving what you have to do for last minutes will only add more stress and frustration that it would have if you had attempted to do it while you still have time to even pace yourself.
Here is what I've learned from procrastinating and some of the changes that I had to make from the consequences:
1. Work/school deadlines/submissions
If you know that you have an assignment that needs to be completed and submitted by a particular date, plan ahead and firstly decide on the time you believe you will need to complete the assignment.
If you have two weeks before the due date and you will need atleast a week to work on it, stark working on the assignment at the beginning of the week by breaking it down and doing parts of it each day where you would have finished it as the week comes to an end and will have more time to make final touches and submit your work with confidence
2. Tests/Exams
If you have an upcoming test/ exam
Prepare well in advance to avoid panicking close to the day of the test/ exam. You don't want to go into the exam room with anxiety as this will only frustrate you leading to mental block or not remembering anything that you revised. Leave the last day before the test/exam date strictly for revision knowing you have covered everything that needs to be covered.
3. Personal commitments such as doing groceries/laundry/buying an outfit for an even
A small commitment such as doing laundry on Friday because you need be somewhere on a Saturday can lead to stress if you don't do it when you were supposed to do. In this case you might not habe anything decide to were to work or school on Monday because its already Sunday evening and you didn't do your laundry as you had planned when you had time.
Not picking what you want to were and ironing it in the evening will cause alot of stress in the morning because mow you have to do it rushing and get to work or school late just because you procrastinated and didn't follow through with what you had planned to do.
So, planning well in advance can be applied to every aspect of our lives and can be very helpful making our lives easier and less stressfull.
It doesn't mean you have to force yourself to do everything all at once, take time to rest and get on with what you have planned and break it down if you cannot do it all in one day...
Plan while there's still time, do it as planned, and trust me, you will thank yourself later...
Rather safe than sorry...
Working on doing better because I am also guilty of leavig things for the last minute 🙈
