Use the 2-Minute Rule
If a task takes less than 2 minutes, do it immediately.

Make a Small To-Do List (3–5 tasks only)
Focus on the most important tasks first.

Use Time Blocks
Set fixed time slots for study/work (like 25 minutes work + 5 minutes break).

Remove Distractions
Keep phone away or on silent while working.

Break Big Tasks Into Small Steps
Smaller tasks feel easier and reduce procrastination.

Set Clear Deadlines
Give each task a finish time.

Start With the Easiest Task
Builds momentum and motivation.

Reward Yourself
After completing a task, give yourself a small break or treat.
