You open your laptop, stare at the notes… and somehow end up on YouTube.
We've all been there.
Here's how to beat procrastination — IB-style.
Most procrastination isn't laziness — it's fear of confusion.
Break tasks into ultra-clear steps:
"Write TOK essay" → ❌ too big
"Find one real-life example for TOK prompt" → ✅ manageable.
Promise yourself just 5 minutes of work.
Starting is the hardest part — momentum builds automatically.
Open your notes before dinner.
Set out your books the night before.
Small actions lower the mental barrier to starting.
Mark small wins — finishing one IA section, summarizing a topic, etc.
Your brain needs feedback to stay motivated.
