Mirella’s Productive Habit Journal

1. A bad habit that I have is procrastinating. I don’t know when it started because I have done it for
as long as I can remember. I always push my work that I need to get done forward and try and
make excuses as to why it is acceptable. I think I procrastinate because I get lazy sometimes, and
I would just rather do other things besides what needs to be done.
2. Strategies to Overcome the Bad Habit:
 I can plan more. This makes it so that the tasks I must do over a few days are evenly distributed,
so it is not overwhelming to start.
 I can set keep track of what must get done, so I am reminded of it and focused. Ex, write a to-do
list on the whiteboard in my room.
 I can try and get out of the habit of being attached to my devices and lower my screen time, so
I’m less tempted to do that instead.
 I can set mini goals and achievements while completing work, meaning, after completing a
portion of work, I can take a small break. This strategy will help keep me motivated.
 I can complete tasks with people around me, like friends or family, because doing things with
other people usually makes things easier.
