We all know the struggle of trying to finish a work project or study for an exam when there are thousands of ways to distract ourselves online. A few years ago, I couldn't work on an assignment for more than 10 minutes without checking my Facebook feed or playing a quick game of Starcraft. Here are some techniques that I used to kick my procrastination habit: • Keep your phone/remote control in your closet: Think of things in terms of activation energy, or the amount of effort it takes to start a task. When your cell phone or remote control is sitting right next to you, the activation energy required to send a text or turn on your TV is low, and these become are huge potential distractors. Whenever you need to focus on work, try keeping your TV remote/cell phone in the back of your closet, while keeping your textbooks/work papers within arms-reach. It's a simple concept, yet I was amazed by how much easier it was to focus on work with this trick. • Remove bookmarks for Netflix/Facebook/etc.: Similar to the trick above, you'll be way less tempted to compulsively check social media updates when it takes more than a single click to do so. I keep links to these sites inside an obscure folder, which is in another obscure folder, and so on. After a while, I was able to work for hours without even thinking about anything else.
