Devices are definitely my top time waster because I spend too much time on social media and video games. One thing that helped me limit my screen time is think about how spending hours on devices everyday is going to add up to days, weeks, months, and even years in the long run.

Time Waster: Worrying

This is another top time waster because oftentimes you are wasting time worrying about something that won't happen. Spend your time focused on getting stuff done in the present instead of worrying about the future.

Time Waster: Indecision

Being indecisive is something everyone has struggled with at some point, but it is better to just get started. Instead of think about what you should do first, get started on something.

Lack of Delegation

If you are on a group project, you need to be able to delegate correctly. Delegate a piece of the project to each person based on their skills. This will save plenty of time by maximizing productivity.

Time Waster: Acting Without Thinking

Once you make a decision on what you want to do, taking smart actions is crucial. If you decide you are going to do your project then don't put much thought into the project, then you are just going to end up re doing it.

Lastly, you need to decide what you want to achieve and write it down. This gives you a clear goal to work toward and allows you to break it down into something measurable. This can give you the motivation you need to tackle the hard stuff.
