I’m sure that those clothes you bought online, the cupcakes you baked last night, or all of the social media platforms you last checked weren’t on your “to-do” list. Procrastination, defined by google, is “the action of delaying or postponing something”. It’s not exactly a good trait to have, and thankfully there are ways to overcome it. There are in fact ways to train even the worst of procrastinators into getting things done within a respectable timeframe. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/better-perfect/201703/11-ways-overcome-procrastination lists 11 ways to achieve eliminating procrastination from your life. There are many reasons as to why people tend to procrastinate. No deadlines, no interest, and anxiety are all common reasons. Say you’re given an assignment to do over christmas break, naturally you’ll do it towards the end of the break, right? Sometimes a little bit of time pressure actually forces you to get it done. But what if you find out that marks wont be taken off if its a little late, so you leave it a little longer. There's no harm in that, right? Wrong. When you're given a deadline for an assignment, you're only cheating yourself if you don't get it done by that specific time. When you're not interested in something, usually it takes everything in you to actually focus and get that task done. Often this just turns into it not getting done or being done at the very last minute possible, which isn't exactly the best way to go about getting things done. Anxiety is something that provokes procrastination greatly. Often if theres something that needs to get done that induces an anxious mind frame, it'll be put off until the very last minute possible. The best way to overcome this is instead of trying to tackle everything that's on your to-do list at once, break it all up and tackle one thing at a time. Take things step by step and you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish.

I can relate to this topic - I feel like I am always pressed for time, probably due to the anxiety that comes from procrastination. Time management and tackling one task at a time with full concentration is the way to go about things!
