Many students struggle with procrastination especially on the
university level. Students often encounter obstacles that hamper their
workflow, whether they are external factors which may be life gets in
the way, or poor time management. But the one factor that obstructs
work the most is undoubtedly just plain old laziness. This then is a
problem of that can be associated with mental health.
A possible solution, although heavily discouraged, is to disregard
mental health completely. Sometimes the reason told to yourself not
to do an assignment might be: “I am not feeling so well.” , “I should to
go out with my friends.” Or, “There’s so much work to be done.”
Absolutely forcing yourself, might you despise every step of the
process, every second you lose a bit of your soul. This can be done
by removing every distraction that you can think of; deleting social
media, denying invites, sleep deprivation, eat meals only for energy
and, doing things that need to be done as much and as long as you
can. Because the hardest part of doing something is getting started,
you can never struggle with that if you never stop. This also forces
you to only do the task at hand because there is no other option.
Another more healthier, although may or may not harder to achieve
due to requiring a balance of work and life; is to take aspects of the
first solution but to a lesser extent. Instead of bulldozing through all
tasks, split your work time into different parts of the day, not only you
get the same amount of study time, but work is also more efficient.
For example; instead of studying from 7 pm to 3 am, and waking up
at 10, then going to university, going to sleep around midnight then
waking up at 7 am, then continue working to 10, then going.
Distraction deprivation might be too much. Instead, remind yourself,
set an alarm or set a limit for indulgent activities. Have a rough plan
of your day. This could still not work because you need to respect the
rules and limits you set for yourself. But nonetheless a way healthier
option. From the paragraphs written above, procrastination is a result
of mental health, if you realize that, you can take advantage; a single
solution may not work for everyone; whether forcing yourself that
tasks needs to be finished, or using mental resilience to keep
yourself, your health, both physical and mental health in line.
