Procrastination in language learning (writing day 8) I think all people procrastinate at least one time in their life. Sometimes you catch yourself watching a cat video or scrolling Facebook feed instead of doing your task or preparing for an exam. Procrastination affects many areas of life and happens because of different reasons. Of course, in language learning, there is procrastination too - it's a huge project and at times it may be quite difficult to do the same things, to read the same rules. Also, making mistakes can leave you feeling frustrated and disappointed. When I started to write every day, I realized that I often put off writing till the evening. As a result, I do it when I'm exhausted and in a rush, because I want to sleep. So, I decided to fight learning procrastination in a few ways: 1. I'll break the big job down into a series of little tasks. For example: find an idea - prepare a template - write:) 2. The "2-minute rule" - I'll ask myself to write for 2 minutes (or to write one sentence) instead of writing full text. Usually, the hardest part is getting started. Once I've started, I'll probably end up finishing the whole text. 3. I'll treat myself. The very fact, that my text was read out and someone wrote a comment or edited it, already is a reward. But sometimes I'll do something small but nice as watching an episode of a comedy TV show. And what do you do to fight procrastination in language learning?
