You know what you suppose to be doing but you just can't do it. It's very easy to lay over from time consuming projects/assignments until the due date, but when you do that, you may have to indulge an all-nighter. Here are steps to avoid procrastination.

Get the hard stuff off the way first, so that everything that comes after will seem more easier.

4. Set Goals

It's more easier to get started on a project when you constitute reachable goals rather than face a bulky and big plan. Instead of telling yourself, "I'll study Physic tonight," you might instead say, "I'll study chapter eight tonight." This makes your goals less terrifying and more achievable.

Remember that you are responsible for the projects you finish or didn't finish, the exams you ace or don't do so well on, and your grades.
