How to Beat Procrastination: 3 Simple Tricks for Students

Author: Faseeh Ur Rehman

Every student has faced that annoying urge to put off homework, revision, or even simple tasks.

Procrastination can feel like a trap - but it doesn't have to control your day.

Here are three easy and effective ways to help you follow the plan, not the mood.

1. The 5-Minute Rule

The hardest part of studying is simply getting started - especially after a long break. You just don't

feel like it and keep pushing it off.

That's where this trick helps: tell yourself you'll only do the task for 5 minutes. That's it.

Once you begin, momentum kicks in - and before you know it, you're already in the flow.

2. Use Deadlines (Even Fake Ones)

Let's say you have an essay due in five days. You keep delaying it, and suddenly it's the night

before submission - panic mode activated.

Here's a smarter approach: set your own personal deadline two days earlier.

Shorter deadlines create urgency and prevent last-minute stress. Use reminders, sticky notes, or

apps to make it real.

3. Remove Just One Distraction

Distractions are everywhere - especially for students. While avoiding all of them can feel impossible,

this trick makes it easier: just remove one.


For most of us, it's the phone. Try leaving it in another room or turning on "Focus Mode." You don't

need total silence - just a little less noise.

Final Thoughts

Procrastination feels powerful, but once you take the first step, it loses its grip.

Try just one of these tricks today - your brain (and your grades) will thank you later.
