This blog post commences where my last one left off – some tips and tricks that I have found useful throughout my university studies in preventing excessive procrastination.
FIND A STUDY BUDDY: In my experience, finding someone in your course to bounce ideas off and voice any concerns about structure and assessment requirements does wonders for preventing excessive procrastination, in fact they don’t even have to be writing about the same topic. I’ve found a study buddy is also an invaluable tool for gauging progress as well – for example, if I’ve only just chosen my topic and started research while my buddy is up to the editing stage, chances are I might want to think about picking up the pace. Working with a buddy is also great for exam preparation; you can work together to check that all course content is covered and test each other.
