Tips and tricks to help you catch up with schoolwork

The time you discover you have a lot on your plate, it is already too late and now you are wondering how to pick up the slack. The number of distractions we have now is a menace to getting your work done on time. Procrastination might feel like your best friend but it is your worst enemy.  

Some ways that will help you to catch up on the pending work and stay caught up in school.

• Complete the task at hand: The completion of a subject or a topic before you move on to another one is the key here. If you keep switching, you won’t be able to accomplish anything substantial. 
• Allot deadlines: As you are well aware, you do not have all the time in the world. Be adamant about your deadlines. Give yourself constant reminders that you have to finish your work in the allotted time. 
• To-do list: This one really helps. Know your pending tasks and how much time you have in your hands to do them. This constant reminder in from of your eyes will keep you on your toes. Paste it somewhere you can see it every now and then.
• Don’t waste time: Needless to say but needs to be said. Don’t procrastinate. Don’t waste time stressing about how far behind you are or your future. To be honest, this is the worst thing you can do while you’re already on a tight schedule. Just focus on getting things done.
• Reward yourself: It is extremely important that you keep rewarding and motivating yourself, that way you will want to get the work done without trying to push yourself unhappily. See what motivates you the most, a treat after finishing a chapter or checking your phone after completing an answer.
• Take breaks: Do not exhaust yourself. Studying continuously drains your energy and may irritate you. You might not have the will to do anything further and might end up wasting a lot of time. Taking breaks keeps you fresh, energetic and motivated.
