As finals approach, the season of procrastination comes along with it as well. Although procrastination is quite the problem throughout the entire year for most college students, studying is on the most hard tasks to sit down and just do. Since finals season is your time to shine in the studying department, procrastination loves to hinder your grind. Here are 5 tips that will help to put your procrastination to rest:

1. Put your phone away!

Although this may seem obvious, going back to grab supplies will be a huge detour on your way from procrastination. Making a list of the things you need and checking them off as you go can help you avoid all possible ways of avoiding doing the necessary.

3. Find a good place to study

Although your room seems extremely ideal, it is filled with distractions. Whether it be your roommates or the comfort of your bed, your room is filled with things that will enable you to procrastinate. Going to a library or another quiet place to study will make it so much easier to focus and get your work done.

4. Download website-blocking applications

Applications like Netflix and social media will be the demise of your studying. Downloading applications that allow you to block these websites will allow you to truly focus. Merely just block these websites for a couple hours, and you will be forced to do the work you need to do!

5. Make a schedule

Making a schedule and checking things off is not only satisfying but allows you to keep track of what you’ve done and need to do! Schedules keep you on track, and you can even allow for a certain amount of time you need for breaks (so you don’t get distracted of course.)
