Get things done! - stop procrastinating, lecture

For you who repeatedly put off your studying.

Everyone tends to put off tasks or decisions from time to time, but for some it creates problems. Even if it doesn't have such big consequences for everyone, for some it can become an obstacle in their studies. This can lead to poorer study results, unnecessarily high stress before an examination and increased anxiety and depression. This lecture gives you advice and tips on what you can do yourself to break your procrastination and start doing it now!

Wednesday, 21 February 12:30- 13:00

Many students find public speaking difficult and can get quite anxious. Giving speeches, presenting group work, or being active at seminars can be so difficult that you get physical symptoms and it can be hard to maintain your studies.

This course will give you exposure in speaking in front of others and practice using strategies with a group of students with similar difficulties. This can help you to gain confidence and increase your comfort and capabilities. Join us to face your fears and dare to speak!

DO IT NOW

A group for you who procrastinate. The purpose of the group is, to get going with your studies and create new and improved study habits. The group meets weekly. You can join the group at any time during the semester but you have to tell in advance through the e-mail address below.

Do you have trouble organising your studies, a hard time getting started, or a tendency to put off tasks? If so, then the Do It Now! group is for you.

The Do It Now Group’s approach offers a solution to some of the difficulties of procrastination as it establishes external control, intermediate study goals, and rewards good study habits by trying to imitate a normal work environment where your work pace is checked and assessed by others. You will receive help with getting started with your studies and establishing effective routines. This could affect your study motivation in a positive way, helping you break the cycle of procrastination.

The “Do It Now” group’s model was taken from Leiden University in the Netherlands, which has used it for many years with positive results. The model is based on the group participants being involved in, and responsible for, each other’s progress. The group thus provides study support, not group therapy.

Uppsala: Wednesdays 15:00- 16:45. Sign up via email to internationalsh-ufv@uu.se
