How to Stop Procrastinating on Assignments Once and For All

 We all know the cycle: “I’ll start in 10 minutes” → 3 hours of scrolling → panic at 2 a.m. Here’s how to break it for good.

1. The 5-Second Rule (Mel Robbins)
   Count 5-4-3-2-1 and physically move toward the task. It bypasses the part of your brain that overthinks.
2. Eat the Frog First
   Do the scariest assignment right after breakfast when your willpower is highest.
3. Use “Temptation Bundling”
   Only listen to your favorite podcast or watch that Netflix episode while writing the paper (headphones in, screen off).
4. Public Commitment Device
   Tell a friend or post on your group chat: “I’ll send the draft by 8 p.m. or I owe you coffee.” Social pressure works wonders.
5. Break Tasks into Ridiculously Small Steps
   Instead of “write research paper” write “open Google Doc and change the title.” Momentum snowballs.
6. Environment Design Wins
   Study outside your bedroom. Libraries, coffee shops, or even a different corner of the house trigger “work mode” in your brain.
7. The “Done List” Instead of To-Do List
   Every time you finish a tiny task, write it down. Watching the list grow is insanely motivating.
8. Remove the Decision Fatigue
   Prepare tomorrow’s clothes, bag, and open all necessary tabs the night before. Zero friction = zero excuses.
