Tips Covered:

1. Use the Pomodoro Technique: Work in short, focused intervals with regular breaks. Set a timer for 25 minutes, work on a task, then take a 5-minute break. Repeat this cycle to maintain focus and productivity.
2. Set Self-Imposed Deadlines: Break your tasks into smaller, manageable parts and set specific deadlines for each part. Use a calendar to mark these deadlines and set reminders.
3. Enhance Emotion Regulation: Learn to manage your emotions to reduce procrastination. Practice mindfulness, identify triggers, and develop positive coping strategies.
4. Practice Reflective Writing: Spend a few minutes each day journaling about your tasks and progress. Reflect on your time management choices and set goals for the next day.
5. Incorporate Mindfulness and Meditation: Start with just 5 minutes of meditation each day to improve focus and self-regulation. Find a quiet space and focus on your breathing.
