How to Stop Procrastinating by Managing Your Emotions
Procrastination happens when we delay doing things, and it's often connected to our emotions. Feelings like being afraid to fail, feeling worried or stressed, getting bored, or lacking motivation can all contribute to procrastination. To stop procrastinating and get more things done, it's important to learn how to handle our emotions better.
Boredom:
Break the task into smaller, more engaging sub-tasks.
Find ways to make the task more interesting or challenging.
Set a timer and work on the task for a specific amount of time, followed by a short break doing something enjoyable.
Feeling Overwhelmed:
Prioritize tasks and focus on one thing at a time.
Break the task into smaller, more manageable steps.
Delegate some parts of the task if possible or seek help from others.
Use tools like to-do lists or task management apps to stay organized.
Anxiety:
Practice deep breathing or mindfulness techniques to calm yourself.
Challenge negative thoughts and replace them with more positive and realistic ones.
Start with the easier or less intimidating aspects of the task to build momentum.
Set realistic expectations and remind yourself that it's okay to make mistakes.
Self-Doubt:
Focus on past accomplishments and successes to boost your confidence.
Seek support or feedback from others to gain reassurance.
Remind yourself of your skills and capabilities to tackle the task.
Use positive affirmations to counteract negative self-talk.
Perfectionism:
Embrace the concept of "good enough" rather than seeking perfection.
Set realistic and achievable goals for each task.
Recognize that mistakes and imperfections are part of the learning process and growth.
Indecisiveness:
Break decisions into smaller steps and make one small decision at a time.
Set a time limit for making decisions to avoid overthinking.
Trust your instincts and make the best decision you can with the information available.
Apathy or Lack of Interest:
Find aspects of the task that align with your values or long-term goals.
Break the task into smaller, more manageable parts and focus on completing one at a time.
Reward yourself for completing the task to make it more appealing.
Stress or Burnout:
Practice stress-reduction techniques such as meditation, exercise, or spending time in nature.
Break tasks into smaller steps to reduce the feeling of overwhelm.
Prioritize self-care and take breaks to avoid burnout.
Feeling Uninspired or Creatively Blocked:
Engage in activities that stimulate creativity, such as brainstorming, mind mapping, or seeking inspiration from others' work.
Start with a simple and basic version of the task to get the creative juices flowing.
Collaborate with others or seek feedback to gain new perspectives.
Fear of Success:
Identify and challenge the negative beliefs or fears that may be holding you back.
Visualize the positive outcomes of completing the task successfully.
Focus on the benefits and personal growth that come with success.
Impatience:
Break long-term goals into smaller milestones to track progress.
Practice mindfulness to stay present and patient throughout the process.
Remind yourself that progress takes time and effort.
Lack of Confidence:
Celebrate your past accomplishments to boost your confidence.
Seek support and encouragement from friends, family, or mentors.
Focus on building specific skills related to the task to increase confidence.
Avoiding Discomfort:
Acknowledge that discomfort is a natural part of growth and improvement.
Break tasks into smaller steps and tackle the more challenging aspects gradually.
Remind yourself of the long-term benefits of facing discomfort.
Overestimating Future Motivation:
Practice discipline and commit to starting tasks even when motivation is low.
Set specific deadlines for tasks to create a sense of urgency.
Establish a routine that includes regular work on the task to build consistency.

getting seriously organized⋆.ೃ࿔*:・📄
Tumblr media
the importance of organization - the nature of life is that it can seem really disorganized and chaotic but it doesn't absolutely have to be that way! organization helps to improve your efficiency and overall add structure to ur life.
agendas - a daily to do list is a MUST. i use notion to organize my time. i separate what i need to do into categories (A and B).
Tumblr media
CATEGORY A ; tasks that hold the highest level of importance.
CATEGORY B ; tasks that are more simple (its not gonna nip u in the bud if u dont do a task in category b)
monthly calendars - monthly calendars are so helpful because i set new goals for every month, and when everything is already planned out and in front of you it makes it feel a million times easier to achieve those goals.
list important events
birthdays
appointments etc
lists - making lists is therapeutic for me at this point. its actually a lot of fun so i highly recommend it, but instead of just making lists for fun, you could make lists that'll be useful in the future. for example...
restock lists (lists of things that you consistently need and use)
grocery lists
meal prep - meal prep is so useful because it makes grocery shopping easier, and its easier to eat consistently when u know what ur going to eat

This applies to activism but also to the corporate world and regular life: Never underestimate the value of sitting down, analyzing your activities and then optimizing them. Personally, I think the best place to start is with stuff you do on a regularly timed basis, like events that take place monthly, yearly, etc.
I'll give you an example: I was part of an organization in college that did a semesterly event where we did science experiment demos for children. When I initially joined the organization, the days leading up to the event were a little chaotic: The person in charge of outreach would call the school to schedule, research experiments for us to do or try to remember the ones we usually do, make a shopping list, try to recruit people to run the experiments, go all over town getting the supplies together, harangue people into looking up the experiments and the relevant scientific background to make sure we could explain them to the kids, then get everything in the car on the day of the event.
After a couple of rounds of doing this, I got to thinking about how inefficiently we were handling this event, given that we know it's going to happen every semester. So over spring break, I went to the dollar store and got six large baskets and index cards. On each index card, I wrote the name of one of the experiments we commonly do (elephant toothpaste, magic dry erase art, Alkaseltzer lava lamps, etc.). I then wrote the list of ingredients/supplies needed for the experiment on the back of the card so that if you flipped the card from the bottom up, the words would appear right side up. I "laminated" the cards with packing tape and taped one to each basket. They were then labeled on the front, and if you flipped the card up, it told you everything that was supposed to be in the basket. I then looked up the scientific background of each experiment, compiled information with sources, and printed background sheets for each, which I put in sheet protectors. These went in the baskets as well.
When we came back from spring break, our outreach manager gave me the budget, and I went out and did the shopping for each experiment. In past, we had shared common reagents across multiple experiments to be cost efficient, but this time I chose to get duplicate items where necessary (since it was possible with the budget). I put all the supplies needed for each experiment within that experiment's basket, and because I duplicated shared materials, that made the baskets modular - you could pick up one, take it, and be guaranteed to have everything you needed for that experiment in the basket without having to remember to take other baskets (decreasing the mental load).
Suddenly I had streamlined this event from something that stressed out our outreach manager and required a mad dash to look up experiments, make a shopping list, get the supplies, and get people to run the experiments into something that was basically grab-and-go the day of the event. We could just pick up three or four baskets (so that we had experiments to rotate in and out), put them in the car, and go. Even if the people who volunteered to run the experiments didn't have time to research them, they could just read the background sheets in the car.
I also advocated shifting the time for the shopping. I asked if we could find money from elsewhere or double the budget for supplies just this one time so that we could stock for the upcoming event, and then immediately restock afterwards. Why? Because if the time for shopping is shifted so that the responsibility is "buy to replenish" rather than "buy for the event," the shopping becomes lower stress, especially if we can't find something we need. If we shop before the event and can't find Alkaseltzer tablets, we may have to rearrange our entire plan for the demonstrations, but if we shop after the event and can't find them immediately, we have a whole semester to find a source for them. This was especially useful for the elephant toothpaste experiment because we had to order the iodine tablets for it from a water treatment company, and they take two weeks to ship. If we forget to order in time for the event, it's a crisis, but if we order more immediately after the event, they have all the time in the world to get there, and then we're set to just grab-and-go next semester again.
Now this might not seem super important or impactful, but here are the benefits: Our outreach manager was less stressed. Lower stress for the people carrying out the event is enough benefit alone, but additionally, because everyone running the event was less stressed, we were more likely to put on a better quality demonstration for the kids (people are more likely to show up knowing the background, and we're less likely to forget materials). And finally, reducing the stress and effort associated with events saves time - time our organization could use to do additional outreach, increasing our impact.
This kind of analysis isn't glamorous, but as I said, it can maximize the impact of your organization and what it does. This includes activist organizations. Just shifting the time at which the shopping was done for this event completely eliminated supply chain issues. So think about the stuff you do. Think about the timing, what stays the same year to year, what processes can really be done once instead of every time (ex: There was no reason to research the experiments every year - do it once, and reuse the sheets). Also think about creating structure. My baskets were a physical imposition of structure that meant we no longer had to scramble around the building picking up bowls and spoons and common household ingredients. Structure can also be imposed administratively, like delegating responsibilities or digitally, like creating a Google Drive that is organized into folders.
It's this boring stuff that feels like business or administrative busy work that can really help things run smoothly, and if you do this kind of analysis with all your regular events, the time-saving, quality-improving, and stress-reducing benefits start to stack in a big way.
*And of course I acknowledge that there are people out there who struggle with organizational skills in one way or another, so if you can't personally apply this, that's okay. Not everything I suggest works for everybody.

Hi everyone
I just thought I would share this resources because it is mind blowing.
youtube
This girl has ADHD and talked about how she has always struggled with time blocking and keeping a calendar. She created a new method that works better for her.
Instead of having different coloured colours calendar for different areas of your life and then struggling to know what to do with events that belong to multiple areas. It works by having different colours for each calendar that helps you prioritise tasks. I myself have a hard time deciding what's important.
I have outlined my modified calendars that make sense for me but check out the video for hers.
Appointments
This calendar is for time sensitive things that have be done and/or would have a negative impact on others if you don't follow through. These can't be moved or would be really difficult to move.
Examples: actual appointments, work shifts, classes, scheduled group rehearsals/trainings, someone's birthday dinner/party
Bottlenecks
This calendar is for things that don't need to be done AT a specific time but do need to be done BY a specific time. This means they can be moved around whenever before the deadline but need to be done before the deadline otherwise they create a bottleneck in your schedule and lead to you getting overwhelmed.
Example: homework, taking the bins out, paying bills, filming youtube videos
Critical (yellow)
This calendar is for things that you deem critical to your goals and growth. These can be moved around if needed but are things you want to try your best to get done each day.
Examples: workouts, reading 10 pages of a book, doing a full skincare routine
Daily Routine
This calendar is for parts of your day that happen regularly. These can be moved around where needed.
Examples: habits, chores, meals, travel time
Extra Fancy
This calendar is for extra fancy stuff that your ideal self would like to get done. These are nice to do or want to do but nothing bad will happen if you don't do them.
Examples: doing a facemask, watching a movie, doing some arts and crafts
Favourable Rememberables
This calendar is for things that you need to remember in the future.
Examples: birthdays, days off, due dates (I recommend creating separate events for submitting assessments or paying the bill and put them as appointments which are your top priority)
I hope this can be useful to someone because I think it will have a big difference for me. 💗

How To Plan Your Day 🌒📝💡✨
Start the night before. What do you need to do tomorrow to meet your needs? Write down the most important tasks you want to complete the next day. This gives you a clear starting point in the morning.
Create a morning routine that is focused on your well being. Exercise, meditate, read etc.
Make a list of all the things you need to do. Put the most important things at the top of the list.
Divide your day into chunks of time. Decide when you'll do each task.
Estimate the time it will take you to complete each task.
If a big task seems too hard, break it into smaller steps.
Batch the similar tasks together for maximum efficiency.
Try to do one thing at a time. Multitasking might not help you get things done better.
Don't plan too many things. Only plan what you can really do.
Check your progress during the day. Change your plans if things are not going as expected.
At the end of the day, think about what you did and what's left. Learn from what went well and what didn't.
Finish each day with a quick clean up. What can do you now to set up your spaces and routines for both self care and efficiency.
Choose what you'll wear the next day, including clothes, shoes, and accessories. This saves you time in the morning and helps you avoid last-minute outfit decisions.
If you have to take things with you (like a work bag or gym bag), pack it with everything you need. This prevents you from rushing around in the morning to gather your things.
Lay out items you'll need in the morning, like your keys, wallet, or important papers. This way, you won't have to search for them when you're in a rush.
Take some time to wind down before bed. Read a book, practice some light stretching, or do something relaxing to help you sleep better.
Charge your phone, tablet, or laptop overnight so you start the day with fully charged devices.
Set your alarm for the time you want to wake up. Having a consistent wake-up time helps regulate your body clock.
Try to avoid looking at screens (phones, tablets, computers) at least an hour before bed. The blue light from screens can interfere with sleep.
Take a moment to reflect on the day and think about what you're looking forward to tomorrow. Visualizing a positive morning can help set a good tone for the next day.
Pick a weekly prep day and clean the house, meal prep, review your calendar and to do list for the week ahead.

NOTION TUTORIAL୭ 🧷 ✧ ˚. ᵎᵎ 🎀
this is to serve as some little notion tips that i use to make my notion the way that it is. cute and efficient. this is very surface level and i'll get more in depth the more the post goes on. im working on dropping a notion template soon <3
first off pick a color scheme, for me, my color scheme is pastel pinks and whites and soft shades of green as an accent.
u can import photos from pinterest by copying the photo (not the link address, the actual photo) and pasting it into ur notion
take advantage of the columns, when u make a new space click "turn into" and use columns, it'll neatly divide the page
experiment with fonts, i use serif. u can also do large or small text, AND full width pages
making toggle lists saves space and keeps ur page looking super neat and organized
Tumblr media
calendars and tables will keep u organized
to add a page ur gonna wanna go to the top left corner and click "new page"
u can import custom icons by going on pinterest and looking up app icons with the color scheme that u want, download that and add it for cute icons, u can also do the same with GIFS
for links and things of the sort embedding the video and adding the link are two different things, embedding the video means that u can access it on ur page (i do this for youtube videos/spotify etc) and when its a link i'll do this for documents and things of the sort
to add titles to ur columns click the "+" button, i use heading 3 bcuz that's the size i prefer but there are other sizes to choose from
a cool feature that notion has is that u can change the background color OR the text color, when u change the background color its more pastel-like if that's what ur going for
to make section dividers click (-) three times to create a divider

Top ten things I do that help me keep my life organized/running smoothly in no particular order:
I pick out a week's worth of outfits based on the weather report for the upcoming week on Sunday. I do not have the executive function to pick out at outfit at 7AM, and I know this.
I add scent sachets (packets of strongly good scented material) in with my clothing to make it smell nice long after the wash. It's very helpful for showing up to something if I haven't had a chance to shower, even directly after excerising. Ex: One time I was on biological field research and didn't get to shower for three days. Guess who got a "Wow, you smell great," from the other researchers?
I keep my socks in one of these things that southern people use to hold plastic bags (because they can be hung on a hook freeing up drawer space, and it keeps socks from getting lost post-laundry).
Tumblr media
I keep a list of people I need to shop for for Christmas/birthdays in my phone so that if I see something I think someone would like while I'm out, I can check the list and see if I've gotten them something yet. This also enables me to holiday shop year-round and take advantage of sales.
Because I do buy Christmas gifts so far in advance, when I complete my list, I set a calendar reminder in my phone for the first of December and the week before Christmas reminding me where I hid the gifts.
I set my event reminders for times when I know I will SEE the reminders. Ex: When I need to do something sometime within a given day, I set the reminders to 1 week before, 1 day before, and 1 hour before, but I set the time of the event to noon even though there is no official time because I know I will be awake to see the reminder by noon the week and the day before. Similarly, if I need to set my reminders to cue on days when I'll be at work, I set the reminder to go off five minutes after my alarm to wake up because I know I'll be holding my phone to see it.
I keep an overnight bag in my car that has my whole skincare routine, my basic makeup, all my OTC medications, and bottles with 7 days of my prescription medications so that if I end up stranded or staying at someone's place impromptu, I can continue my normal routines. Used that literally this month when I couldn't drive home because of a massive storm.
I also keep a bottle of OxyClean and a few other cleaners in my car, which has come in handy a lot for cleaning the car upholstry and treating people's clothes on site at parties when stuff spills. 😂
I keep a lot of mini tools in my everyday purse - needle, thread, multitool, knives, forceps, pocket wrench, tape measure, mini flashlight, etc. Is it a little heavy? Yes. Has shoving any tool small enough to fit into my bag helped me in life? Almost daily. I most recently used the forceps to get the adapter to my friend's tripod off of his camera so that he could switch cameras. All times before that I used the forceps to get my hoodie string back out when I accidentally pulled it through.
I keep my phone gallery heavily sorted into albums, including a folder called "Information," that I keep screenshots/photos of important info in - infographics, login info for communal resources that people have texted me, a picture of what printer cartridge goes in my printer so that I can buy it at Staples without remembering to check, etc. Sorting the photos is also something I can do while I wait in lines or for appointments.
