Pomodoros are a great way to make yourself do something you've been dreading, especially an open-ended task like studying. You can download apps or pull up a browser window with a pomodoro timer.
Close out all your social media windows, put your phone on airplane mode, and start the timer. It'll go for 25 minutes- during that time you do whatever it is you've been procrastinating, and ONLY that- study, clean, whatever. You can do anything for 25 minutes, right? When the time goes off, you get a five minute break to pee, stretch your legs, whatever- but you buckle right back down and do another pomodoro after that. After a certain number of cycles, you get a longer break.
They're a great way to stay focused- it's easy to tell yourself not to check facebook or AN or whatever until the timer goes off- whatever it is, it can wait 25 minutes.

Do you know how to multitask?
How can I not procrastinate?
I have a problem in finishing my review for the IELTS exam. I have been meaning to take the test 2 years ago. But I couldn't seem to find the time to review. I work 8 hours a day, 5 times a week. I have responsibilities at home since I'm the eldest of all. I am a self-confessed addict to social media and to sending SMS.
HELP. I am I dire need of suggestions so that I can start setting my priorities.
I couldn't seem to find my motivation as well..
