Tricks against procrastination

This post is all about tips and tricks that are going to help you be more constructive and better at concentrating. Something I seriously suck at but I’ve gotten a bit better. I’m currently in the process of finishing my book and I can’t afford any distractions. Now unfortunately, I tend to be easily distracted, so some serious measures needed to be taken. So hereby my tips and tricks to get you to stop procrastinating and finish your work.

  • Give your mother, your boyfriend, your neighbor – pretty much anyone you know – your cell phone. It doesn’t work if you leave it somewhere yourself because you’ll wind up looking at it anyway. Ask the one who is keeping it hostage from you to give it back to you six hours (yes, six!) later.
  • Instal a website blocker so you won’t be able to log onto Facebook, YouTube or whatever else you always look at.
  • Installeer een websiteblocker, zodat je niet meer op Facebook,
  • Turn off your mail.
  • Make sure you’re alone in a room. People are distracting.
  • Put on some headphone and turn on some music.
  • Make a to-do list and check everything off systematically.
  • Make sure the room you are working in isn’t too warm. Turn down the heaters a notch, warmth makes you tired and dawdle.
