hello everyone! since i’m turning 20 soon, and 2020 is almost ending, i’ve decided to create my own 28 day anti-procrastination challenge. i’ve tried doing challenges on my blog before but really struggled to stay committed. i hope that this time, i can really stick to my plans and goals. i’ve struggled with procrastination my entire life, and i really want to tackle this bad habit and incorporate better habits before i turn 20, and before this year ends. i will be using a mixture of resources i found online for this challenge. the first day of my challenge will be today (nov 24, 2020).

steps for starting the challenge:

1. make a not-to-do list (a list of tasks you will not do, no matter what)
2. make a rewards list
3. sign up for the beat procrastination challenge on: here (this is a 30 day challenge, but i’ll be using this because after 28 days, i should still be using these habits, so there should be no reason why i can’t answer the questions for an extra 2 days)

rules (based off of my challenge tribe, with additional rules i added):

1. review your not-to-do list as soon as you wake up
2. work on your most important task of the day for a minimum of 25 minutes as soon as you start your day (i will be keeping my phone on airplane mode and NOT check my email until after i’ve worked for 25 minutes)
3. give yourself a time limit for each thing you have to do
4. take breaks according to a set time (i’ll be taking a 10 minute break every 50 minutes of work)
5. if you have a distracting thought or random task that you realized you have to do during a work session, write it down and work on it during your break.
6. reward yourself if you get a task done without procrastinating and within the time limit
7. when you have spare time, do what you have to do. do not put it off until the next day.
