This can lead to you doing tasks before letting it come down to the last second.]]> 2018-05-24 20:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263483250 132126 https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263483391 If you trick yourself into doing tasks before you actually have to by setting your own personal due dates, you will get things done way before you actually have to worry about it.]]> 2018-05-24 20:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263483391 132126 https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263483527 Putting off harder tasks until you’re done with the easier ones leads to crazy amounts of stress. Doing the hard tasks first can make you feel more accomplished and you get the more time-consuming work out of the way so you can reward yourself with easier work.]]> 2018-05-24 20:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263483527 132126 https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263483844 Solution Two]]> 2018-05-24 20:48:39 UTC https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263483844 132126 https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263484195 Having your cell phone with you while doing work is extremely distracting and hiding it until after you’re done will allow you to work without interruptions. ]]> 2018-05-24 20:50:49 UTC https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263484195 132126 https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263484284 Group work can sometimes help you get things done out of fear of embarrassment among peers, but sometimes you just need to seclude yourself somewhere and get things done on your own. If you’re a really social person, contact with other people will most likely distract you from the task at hand. Don’t shut yourself out from the rest of the world, but don't let others distract you either.]]> 2018-05-24 20:51:28 UTC https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263484284 132126 https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263484669 If you are doing your work in an area where distractions are present, you will be distracted (duh). You will be much more productive if your work environment enhances you ability to pay attention to your work.]]> 2018-05-24 20:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263484669 132126 https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263485013 Solution Three]]> 2018-05-24 20:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263485013 132126 https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263527217 Procrastination, if you think about it, doesn't make any sense on a evolutionary standpoint. Why would an organism like humans want to put important tasks off until the last second? Most scientists believe that Procrastination evolved into sedentary lifestyle civilizations as the tasks needed to be preformed to live through everyday life became easier and easier until they no longer needed to be taken seriously.]]> 2018-05-25 03:01:15 UTC https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263527217 132126 https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263532981 Recent behavioral studies have shown that procrastination is moderately hereditary, therefor, psychologists have come to the conclusion that you aren't just lazy for no reason, you were born lazy. This shouldn't just be a scapegoat however, because studies also show that your environment has more of an affect on your procrastination than genetics.]]> 2018-05-25 03:58:59 UTC https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263532981 132126 https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263533290 Some Mental Disorders like Clinical Depression and Anxiety can fuel Procrastination.

If you suffer from Depression-like symptoms, you should contact a psychiatrist. Seeking out help may even help your work ethic too.]]> 2018-05-25 04:02:49 UTC https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263533290 132126 https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263533891 Solution 4]]> 2018-05-25 04:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263533891 132126 https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263534725 Exercising can fill you with energy in the long run with the release of endorphins. If you lack the energy to complete daunting tasks, exercise may be the way to go. However, having the motivation to exercise itself may prove equally as difficult.]]> 2018-05-25 04:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263534725 132126 https://padlet.com/132126/gc1wk31flpfj/wish/263534960 Lack of sleep is most likely the main reason you lack energy.
