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:
- make a not-to-do list (a list of tasks you will not do, no matter what)
- make a rewards list
- 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):
- review your not-to-do list as soon as you wake up
- 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)
- give yourself a time limit for each thing you have to do
- take breaks according to a set time (i’ll be taking a 10 minute break every 50 minutes of work)
- 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.
- reward yourself if you get a task done without procrastinating and within the time limit
- when you have spare time, do what you have to do. do not put it off until the next day.
- follow the schedule below
- check in with the challenge tribe daily

1. Amazon Prime has a service dedicated to college students!
Amazon Prime as a sub section called ‘Prime Student’ for college students to receive a 6 month free trial of their services as well as cutting the subscription to the service from $100 to $50! Granted, I would suggest simply using the 6-month free trial in order to get free 2 day shipping on all of your college dorm and college supply shopping and cancelling it once you get all your goodies.
2. Clearance sections in stores are your friend!
I currently have half of my dorm room stuff all for under $100 dollars because I found gems within my nearest stores clearance section. From afar, it may seem unpromising but once you delve into the section you will unravel some beauties. Just from my clearance section at my local Citi Trends, I got my comforter, two sets of bed sheets, two sets of pillow cases, two bedside organizers, and plastic wear for when my roomie and I cook. So look out for those sections!
3. Just because it is early in the Summer, it doesn’t mean you must rush to get all of your things.
Stores like Rue 21, Wal-Mart, and online places like Amazon, will restock and keep you provided with things all the way until move in day. And places such as Rue-21 tend to have mind blowing offers that may come closer to the full blown college season that you would regret not getting your hands on because you rushed your shopping fun too soon! So, take your time. Don’t just pick stuff because you think nothing better will come. I promise you, it will! You want things you love, not that you think is okay. You have to use it for a year. Remember that!
4. A lot of stores (online too) offer discounts for having your Student ID/login. So use it!
Granted, I can’t speak for everyone as things are different everywhere. But I do know where I am from places like Office Depot offer deals for college students in order to receive money off of electronics, furniture, and school supplies. So, flash that ID or write that email down for those selected stores near you and get those discounts!
5. Normally pricey stores will have huge sales during the Summer and college season. So be on the lookout!
Referring back to Rue-21, where I am from, they continuously have deals all year round. Recently, they had a 60% sale on the whole store as well as 40% off on certain items. So that is like, a lot of money being saved for you to buy your wardrobe as well as decorations for your dorm room. It’s knocking two birds with one stone! So peep sales at your mall, your local stores, etc.
I hope these few tips will help you get the best deals, and keep your pocket full during the college shopping season!
