Almost every student procrastinates — putting off study even when they mean to start. The good news: procrastination is a habit you can break with simple techniques, not willpower alone. Here is how.
Why we procrastinate
Techniques that actually work
- Start with just five minutes — beginning is the hardest part
- Break big tasks into small, clear steps
- Remove distractions — phone in another room
- Study in focused blocks with short breaks (try 25 minutes on, 5 off)
Build momentum
How structure helps
