Weekly Learning Tips

No Better Time than the Present

Procrastination is one of the of the most serious detriments a student may face in trying to achieve educational success. When one gets into the habit of procrastinating, it becomes more and more difficult to complete tasks on time. So what can one do to stop procrastination? Here are some tips that may aid in leaving the procrastination habit behind.

Motivate yourself to work on a task with thoughts such as "There is no time like the present," or "Nobody’s perfect."

Prioritize the tasks you have to do.

Commit yourself to completing a task once you’ve started.

Reward yourself whenever you complete a task.

Work on tasks at the times you work best.

Break large tasks into small manageable parts.

Work on tasks as part of a study group.

Get help from teachers and other students when you find a task difficult.

Make a schedule of the tasks to complete and stick to it.

Eliminate distractions that interfere with working on tasks.

Set reasonable standards that you can meet for a task.

Take breaks when working on a task so that you do not wear down.

Work on difficult and/or unpleasant tasks first.

Work on a task you find easier after you complete a difficult task.

Find a good place to work on tasks.

Once you are into a task, you will probably find that it is more interesting than you thought it would be. You will feel increasingly relieved as you work toward its accomplishment and will come to look forward to the feeling of satisfaction you will experience when you have completed the task.

From the Word:

I patiently waited, LORD, for you to hear my prayer. You listened and pulled me from a lonely pit full of mud and mire. You let me stand on a rock with my feet firm, and you gave me a new song, a song of praise to you. Many will see this, and they will honor and trust you, the LORD God.

Psalms 40:1-3
