I think I procrastinate because I am afraid that once I start, I will fail the project,\u201d said Jayden Avery, a student at Utah State University.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over 99 percent of procrastinators are aware they procrastinate, according to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Timothy Pychyl, an associate professor of psychology at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. This means that people who suffer are aware they suffer and are more open to ideas to fix their problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22024801\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\t\t\t<div class=\"media-credit-container aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 970px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22024801\" class=\"size-large wp-image-22024801\" src=\"https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/hs.03.26.18-2-1000x667.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/hs.03.26.18-2-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/hs.03.26.18-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/hs.03.26.18-2-335x223.jpg 335w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/hs.03.26.18-2-1050x700.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><span class=\"media-credit\">Holley Stringham<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<p id=\"caption-attachment-22024801\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Student in the TSC studying.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI am definitely a procrastinator. I will wait until the last minute to do something, even if I have all week to do it. I do it because I feel I work better under pressure,\u201d said Carly Snyder, a student at USU.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oftentimes, the same remedies to procrastination are listed over and over. Below are a few ways to remedy procrastination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stickk.com\/tour\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stickk<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an app developed specifically for procrastinators. Stickk requires the user to sign a commitment contract, which uses the psychological idea of loss aversion and accountability to make sure the user follows through with their goals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stickk makes sure goals are finished using different techniques such as taking money from users who do not finish, using referees, or telling a loved one the user hasn\u2019t finished the task. Dean Karlan, a Yale economist and co-creator of Stickk, points out that when stakes are low, people most often do not change. This is what makes Stickk so effective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realsimple.com\/work-life\/life-strategies\/time-management\/how-to-stop-procrastinating\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Five Minute Miracle<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an effective tool to get rid of small tasks on a to-do list. It consists of asking, \u201cWhat can be done in five minutes or less right now?\u201d If something can be done in less than five minutes, do it now. This could mean making the bed, sending an email or putting the finishing touches on a paper. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal of the Five Minute Miracle is to get started on a project. Once a task has been started, it is much more likely that it will be finished. This idea is called the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologistworld.com\/memory\/zeigarnik-effect-interruptions-memory\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zeigarnik effect<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and it means small tasks will fill up the memory first and cause more stress about little things.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22024805\" style=\"width: 677px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\t\t\t<div class=\"media-credit-container aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 677px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22024805\" class=\"size-large wp-image-22024805\" src=\"https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/hs.03.26.18-4-667x1000.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/hs.03.26.18-4-667x1000.jpg 667w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/hs.03.26.18-4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/hs.03.26.18-4-335x503.jpg 335w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/hs.03.26.18-4-1050x1575.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><span class=\"media-credit\">Holley Stringham<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<p id=\"caption-attachment-22024805\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students in Huntsman Hall studying.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/kevinkruse\/2016\/02\/23\/the-truth-behind-why-we-procrastinate\/#79a0105216cc\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Power Hour<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a technique that utilizes the power of no distractions. To start a Power Hour, put away phones, turn off the television or take away any other distractions and find a quiet, studious place. Set a timer for a reasonable amount of time to work (Kevin Kruse, the author of this technique, suggests to start at around 20 minutes). After the timer goes off, take a short period of rest and do not do any work, but do not indulge in the distractions. Just let the mind rest. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/articles\/200507\/why-we-procrastinate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has discovered that the brain goes through cycles of \u201cpeaks and valleys.\u201d This is why it is sometimes easier to focus after a short break.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forgiving yourself from past procrastination is a powerful, fast and free way to reduce the likelihood of procrastinating again. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bidsketch.com\/blog\/save-time\/stop-procrastinating\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows the more forgiveness you can afford yourself, the more likely it is that you will take action before procrastinating the next task.
