The two articles I read
were “How to Beat Procrastination” by Caroline Webb and “11 ways unsuccessful
people mismange their time” by Aine Cain. I feel like the articles were a bit
useful. I really like how they break things down into simple things and
examples. I think that I often do find myself daunted by a certain task so I
put that task off until the deadline is practically there. I really like how “How
to Beat Procrastination” states to “break down big… tasks into baby steps that don’t
feel as effortful”. I will definitely keep this in mind in the future and see
if it affects my procrastination. As it stands, I do not really have a good
time management strategy that works well for me. I just wait for the deadline
to approach before I kick it into overdrive and get the task done. I really
hope one of these strategies works out for me!

Hey, Bianca!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you -- if something feels overwhelming, it's way easier to just not think about it. That's why I like your "top three" approach so much. When you take a task that feels enormous and you split it into sub-goals, it suddenly feels much more doable, even if the amount of work you have to get done hasn't changed. Things just feel better when you get to attack them in bite-sized pieces.
