Hello & Happy New Year,

Procrastination is a tough habit, but with the right strategies, you can beat it and succeed at any academic goal in 2025.

Here’s how:

Start your day with the task most intimidating or requiring the most effort.
Use the momentum from completing this task to power through the rest of your day.
Get the feeling of accomplishment early on: it boosts confidence for the rest of your work.

Break larger tasks into smaller, more achievable chunks (e.g., research one section of your essay and write 300 words).
Ensure each goal is specific and time-bound (e.g., “Write 200 words in 20 minutes”).
Completing each small goal builds momentum and makes the work feel more manageable.

Tell yourself you’ll work for just five minutes if starting feels overwhelming. It’s easier to start when the commitment feels minimal.
Once you get going, you’ll probably continue working beyond the five-minute mark.
This technique helps you break through mental barriers and procrastination inertia.

Turn off phone notifications, close irrelevant tabs, and clear clutter from your desk.
Set a specific time to check emails and messages & don’t let it interrupt your work.
Use apps like Cold Turkey to block distracting websites during study sessions.

Plan small rewards after completing tasks (e.g., take a 10-minute break, enjoy a snack, watch a short video).
Use rewards to incentivise productivity and create positive reinforcement.

This expert-designed bundle will help you reach your academic goals as it's all done-for-you!

Oh, and it's 40% cheaper than getting them individually!
