Difficulty Concentrating. When you sit at your desk you find yourself daydreaming, staring into space, looking at pictures of your boyfriend/girlfriend, etc., instead of doing the task. Your environment is distracting and noisy. You keep running back and forth for equipment such as pencils, erasers, dictionary, etc. Your desk is cluttered and unorganized and sometimes you sit/lay on your bed to study or do your assignments. You probably notice that all of the examples that you have just read promote time wasting and frustration.
This is one of my biggest trouble when it comes to procrastination. I will sit in class and day dream about what I'm going to do after school or what I did the night before and then loose concentration then get behind with what needs to be done.
Also whenever I hear people talking about something interesting, that's off topic, I always find myself listening in on them rather than doing my work.
Study in small blocks instead of long time periods. For example, you will accomplish more if you study/work in 60 minute blocks and take frequent 10 minute breaks in between, than if you study/work for 2-3 hours straight, with no
breaks. Reward yourself after you complete a task.
A lot of times I study for a little bit and if I study for too long that's when I will start to day dream or get off task. I can start timing myself and then when it gets to how every long my time is stop and take a break then get back to work to stay focused.
