Do you procrastinate when studying for finals? Is that even a question? I find myself doing anything, but the things I really need to do. I clean my apartment from top to bottom, go grocery shopping, help other study, do all of my laundry, catch up on all the television shows I have missed, take a coffee break, go for walk, think about the future, take a nap, etc. The list could go on forever!
Does this sound like you?
Here are some tips to keep you from procrastinating during finals!
- Study somewhere that is already clean for you. For example, the library, a coffee shop, or a common space on campus.
- Make sure to take breaks and stretch your legs!
- Prioritize. Make a to-do list in order of importance based on due dates and go from there.
- Tune out social media until finals are over!
- Give yourself a reward after finals!
Happy Studying!
