Combat College Procrastination With This 1% Rule

Wolfpack Academics

This is the first part of a two part series, called Learning to Love Studying
Do you struggle finding the motivation to study, staying on task, and avoiding distracting notifications? Do you find yourself procrastinating despite the anxiety inherent to procrastinating? If you do you're not alone, and I've got a few tricks to help you break the procrastination cycle.
My name is Skylar Wolphe, and I'm an academic counselor (and former law professor) here to share weekly tips, tricks, and shortcuts on maximizing retention and building study plans - all to help you get through college without burning out.
Today I'm going to talk about how to get yourself to study when you really don't want to, how to avoid distractions, and how to avoid the stress that comes with procrastination. The 1% rule is a great little learning hack for setting yourself up for success, and you can implement it in anything from study time to chores to calling your mom (moms love this episode!)
At the end of my talk I'll go over some of the research papers I pulled my information from, and I'll further discuss how to implement this 1% rule with the template from the study.
You can also find a free companion worksheet to this series on my Kofi page, or on my website: wolfpackacademics.com
The study I'll be referencing can be found here:
A Study Planning Exercise Associated with Decreased Distraction Levels among Introductory Biology Students
