Introduction to Procrastination
00:00:11
Speaker
Hello everyone and welcome to the All Things Education podcast where we learn tips and tricks to achieve our best in secondary and tertiary education. I'm your host Mary Coleman and today in this episode we are going to be discussing how to deal with procrastination. Because let's face it, procrastination is something that so many students constantly struggle with. It is so easy to be on your phone instead of studying and believe me, when I procrastinate against doing my studies, I will do anything to avoid it.
00:00:41
Speaker
As always, I am super excited for this episode today, and I hope you guys are as well.
Guest Introduction: Kate Christie
00:00:46
Speaker
I'm even more excited for this episode today because we are going to be speaking to Kate Christie, the founder and director of Time Stylers. She is such an amazing lady, and I cannot wait for you to hear her words of wisdom. I cannot wait to get started. So let's get educated. All righty, guys, so let us introduce the amazing guest for today.
00:01:08
Speaker
to talk to us about procrastination, we have Kate Christie, founder and director of Time Stylers. Now, you may have heard of this wonderful lady. She's based in Melbourne and Kate Christie is a time management expert, international speaker.
00:01:23
Speaker
and a best-selling author. I told you she was amazing. So Kate shares proven productive strategies to find and harness 30 hours of lost time a month. Could you imagine having 30 more hours to be more productive and do the things you love? I definitely couldn't, but I would love to find and harness those 30 lost hours. So Kate is also the time management expert for Australia's leading small business TV program.
00:01:47
Speaker
and has actually also appeared on television, radio and in print as a leading commentator on smart time management strategies, which we are going to be speaking about a little more in depth today. So welcome, Kate, to the All Things Education podcast. It is so great to have you on the show today. Oh, Mary, thank you so much for inviting me on your fantastic podcast.
00:02:07
Speaker
Oh, of course, Kate. No, it's amazing to have you on the show. So I've already given you a bit of an introduction, but would you like to talk to us a little bit about the books you've written and what they focus on? Yeah, sure. So obviously my focus is around productivity and time management.
00:02:28
Speaker
I've written four books. My most recent book is called Me First, The Guilt-Free Guide to Prioritising You. It's not necessarily targeted at your audience. It's more a book for professional women and business owners who are also mums.
Kate's Book and Time Investment Strategies
00:02:48
Speaker
And so it really talks you through how it's important to take back time and actually
00:02:53
Speaker
do stuff for yourself as well as for your kids. My previous books particularly my third book is something that would definitely be of relevance to your listeners and it's called Smart Time Investment and it's 128 ways the best in business use their time and it's just 128 little strategies to help you maximize your time and your productivity
00:03:16
Speaker
I guess one of the important things though for your listeners to understand is that when it comes to being productive and maximizing your time and rejecting procrastination, for example, it's not about making sure you're working every minute of the day. It's not about saying, well, let's free up all this time so I can just work so much harder. It's definitely not about that. The whole idea, and I guess all of the work I do is around making sure that you
00:03:45
Speaker
find time and big chunks of time because time equals freedom. And when you have freedom, you can kind of design and curate your perfect life. So, you know, I'm at the stage now having worked on this for a while for myself is, you know, I've got all the time in the world that I need. I get to choose exactly what I want to do and when I want to do it and who I want to do it with. And that's, it's achievable for all of us. And I guess that's what it's about.
00:04:16
Speaker
If I'm being totally honest, I definitely struggle with my time management as well. It's something that's also going to benefit the listeners, but definitely me as well. Look, I guess one of the things I'd say in terms of that is that give yourself a break.
Understanding Procrastination: Causes and Solutions
00:04:36
Speaker
Cut yourself a bit of slack as well.
00:04:39
Speaker
The people I speak to they say oh, you know, I'm so bad with time management and I'm terrible with time management Yeah, none of us can manage time. It's we've all got exactly the same amount of time I've got the same amount as you you've got the same amount as your listeners. They've got the same amount as Richard Branson and Elon Musk. Yes It's how we invest our time that makes the difference so if nothing else, you know, I want you to start thinking about your time the way you think about your money as a
00:05:08
Speaker
enormously precious, very limited resource, and we want to invest it for the greatest possible return. So just as if you suddenly found yourself with $10,000, what are you going to do with it? How are you going to invest it? What are you going to spend it on? Let's think about time the same way. What am I going to do with it? What am I going to spend it on? Where am I going to invest it? Yeah, wow. And I think if we sort of, like you were saying, look at
00:05:35
Speaker
time as an investment and we kind of place the same amount of value that we place on it like we do with money we can totally change our mentality and just because time is something we can't physically see I guess it sort of becomes like
00:05:49
Speaker
just a concept that we waste time or we just use uptime instead of investing in the time. Absolutely. And it's more tangible that way, isn't it? So every day you wake up and you think, where am I investing my time today? For sure. And then you can make better decisions. You don't just waste time or you don't procrastinate. You're not that little hamster on the wheel just spinning and spinning.
00:06:11
Speaker
just keep spinning yes i love that so much because you're sort of saying like we've got to break out of that cycle and that mentality of trying to think that we can manage time because we can't as you were saying and we have to try and you know invest in our time awesome okay so what would you say the top three or some reasons are that people do procrastinate against doing something like studying for example sure i think the number one reason is because
00:06:37
Speaker
It's just crap. You know, it's just like, I don't want to study. I don't feel like doing that today or that I've got a thousand other things I'd rather be doing. And it just feels hard and it feels painful. So that's the number one reason is it's just we're putting off doing something that we just don't feel we're going to enjoy. Yeah.
00:07:01
Speaker
The second reason that we procrastinate or we put things off is because we don't plan properly. We don't have a proper plan around when am I going to study? What am I going to focus on today? How long am I going to study for? We don't set ourselves up for success by planning it out properly. And the third key reason is that when we do start actually hitting the books,
00:07:27
Speaker
We don't focus on the right things at the right time or we don't study to match our energy. And, you know, I see that a lot with students and people who are studying is that, you know, they might leave something right to the last minute, which means they do all-nighters and
00:07:47
Speaker
they don't produce the outcomes they want and they don't get the results that they want or probably deserve because they're just not focusing properly, they're not working to their energy. So they're the three things that I see. Firstly, it's just a hard task, it's yuck, it's not something that people tend to enjoy. Secondly, they don't plan it properly and thirdly they don't focus at the right times.
00:08:10
Speaker
And I'm so fascinated by the fact that you can help people find and harness those 30 lost hours in a month. Could you, I guess, talk to us a little bit about how a student could do that?
Time Management Techniques: 'Five Smart Steps'
00:08:23
Speaker
Sure. It's pretty simple, actually, Mary. There's kind of five steps that you can follow. I've got a five-step framework called the Five Smart Steps. Once you understand how to do it, it's very easy to do yourself.
00:08:36
Speaker
Step number one is, and it's an acronym, so S is for self-aware. So step number one is understanding exactly what's getting in your way. What are your time pain points? It might be that you're not organized or you're not very good at calendar management or you've got too much on your plate because you're working three part-time jobs as well as trying to study. You might be tired, you might be partying all night. What are the things that are getting in your way?
00:09:06
Speaker
in terms of actually investing your time. And then the second part of self-aware is to work out what would a perfect kind of day look like for me where you know my point A is this place of pain where I've got all these things that are roadblocks. What's my point B? What would make for a really smooth easy kind of
00:09:30
Speaker
student life study schedule that where I can do some you know I can work and earn some money I can see my friends and I can party but I also kind of get to my lectures and I get my work done you know what does that perfect day look like for me because you want your point A and your point B um step number two is to map map out how you're actually currently spending your time because you know you ask people and and they're going to say oh well I'm really busy you know I've got classes and I've got shoots and I've got assignments and I've got work and
00:09:59
Speaker
My family want to see me and my mum wants to see me. And they'll have a million things that, but until you know in detail exactly where you're spending your time, you can't know what changes you can make. So what I recommend you do is for one or two days, you just map, do a time order, map your time from the minute you get up to the minute you go to bed and just write it in a notebook. And what you're going to write down is every time you switch tasks. So you might say, you know, 8am, get up.
00:10:26
Speaker
you know, read, get on socials, spent 40 minutes down a rabbit hole on social media, had break here, go to my first shoot, you know, check my phone, go to my second shoot, catch up with my friends, start dabbling on an assignment, get into my phone for another 45 minutes, like you want to see exactly what you're doing every single day and just map it for one or two days and it's going to give you so much data because it's going to show you where your time is actually spent.
00:10:55
Speaker
Step number three is take that data from your map and you categorize your time. There's four different time categories. The first is must. So the things, what are the things on that time sheet that you must do that only you can do? Well, I must get up. I must eat. I must go to the lecture because I need the content or I must hand in the assignment so that I pass my class. So you must.
00:11:17
Speaker
then there's wants. Wants are going to be the nice things that you're doing for yourself, you know, catching up with friends, jogging, exercise, go to the gym, sleep ins, brunch, massage, you know, all the nice stuff. The two categories where you're going to find all your time are things that you can delegate and things that you can reject. So delegation falls into, you know, a
00:11:42
Speaker
Things like, do I have to do this whole assignment myself? Can I do it with a friend? Can I do half and they do half? Or can we submit this as a team? How do I segment or delegate some of the stuff I have to do to free up my time for more of the stuff that I want? On the home front, if you're living in a shared house, who's gonna do what chores so that you're not left doing everything? So you wanna start working at what you can delegate.
00:12:11
Speaker
And then the final category is reject. And this one's gonna be a big category for students because there's gonna be a lot that you're doing that you just don't need to do. How much time are you spending on your phones? How much time are you getting sucked into social media? How much time are you losing by not focusing on work at the right time if you're doing stuff in the middle of the night? How much time, what are your behaviours or habits that are costing you?
00:12:40
Speaker
Um, that's where you're going to find all your time. Step four is reframe. And that's where you make a decision in terms of what, what am I going to stop doing? What am I going to, what behaviors or habits am I going to give up? And what habits am I going to implement? Cause they're better habits that are going to give you back my time. And then step five is take control where you actually have to implement, you know, it's like deciding you want to be fit and you think, okay, well, I've, you know, I bought the runners and I've bought the outfit.
00:13:08
Speaker
I've joined the gym, you've actually got to go. So step five is actually implement. And that's where you change the habits. And really with habits, it's just about, if you boil it all down, just to the simplest bit of advice I can give is get a really good understanding of the habits that are serving you, that are good for you and get a good understanding of the habits that are robbing you of time.
00:13:35
Speaker
the habits that are robbing you of time they're the ones that you want to reject or get rid of and you want to do more of or implement more of those habits that are really good for you.
Energy Management and the Pomodoro Method
00:13:46
Speaker
Yes wow that's awesome I'm definitely going to be using those and I guess do those five smart time methods do they help you um prevent and alleviate procrastination as well? Yeah look what what what
00:14:00
Speaker
Once you've done that mapping and you get a sense of after step two, you'll actually understand where you're spending your time. And what you'll see from those maps is you can map how often you're procrastinating. So you might sort of sit down at my desk at 9 a.m. with the intention of doing the assignment. And then you'll see at five past nine, you're on Snapchat and then, you know, 10 past nine, you're back into the assignment. At 20 past nine, you're checking out YouTube videos.
00:14:28
Speaker
you'll see that and that's that's that's kind of like a red flag right that's an alarm bell that i'm procrastinating so the first thing is to have that data from your timesheet and know it and say okay well what am i going to do about it um a couple of strategies to help beat procrastination is have a good plan so
00:14:49
Speaker
You know, maybe on a Sunday night, sit down and write out a master to-do list, like create a to-do list of everything I've got to do this week. So I've got to go to my lectures, I've got to go to my tutes, but here are the three assignments that are due. And one's due on Wednesday, one's due on Thursday, and one's due on Friday. So based on that, I need to work out, well, how long are each of those assignments likely to take me? And if I think they're all going to take me two hours each,
00:15:18
Speaker
then I need to find six hours across the week to make sure that I'm getting those assignments done. So most of us can work for about 35 to 45 minutes before we get to that point where we're losing focus and we get distracted. So knowing that you go into your calendar and you batch in or lock in batches of time, say 45 minutes where I'm going to just work on this assignment. And I know the assignment is going to take me say two hours. So if I put in three
00:15:49
Speaker
45 minute batches to work on this assignment from say 99 to 45 and I'm going to take a 15 minute break. I'm going to get away from my computer. I'm going to go smell the roses. I'll make a cup of coffee, go to the toilet and then I'll come back in and I've got another 45 minutes. And I work hard knowing that if I do these sprints, if I sprint,
00:16:11
Speaker
these three batches of 45 minutes I give myself a 15 minute break in between and you do it almost like if you were challenging yourself at the gym I want to run faster I'm going to you know run really hard on the treadmill for the next 15 minutes and then I'm going to have a break challenge yourself in the same way and then
00:16:31
Speaker
you know, put your phone in another room, remove distractions from your, you know, your desktop and just focus and say to yourself, if I can get these three batches of 45 minutes done, that assignment's done. And then I've got all afternoon to do everything that I want. So, you know, there's some of the sort of the simple strategies you can put in play to actually manage your time. Also, you want to work to your energy. You want to know when you're at your best. Most people,
00:16:59
Speaker
And this will be interesting for your listeners. Most people are best in the morning. So we have our greatest level of energy, our enthusiasm, our creativity is best in the morning. So logically, it's better for you guys to batch in time in the morning to do your hard assignments. But what tends to happen as students is that you probably are part of the night partying.
00:17:27
Speaker
So you're sleeping and you're really tired. So you've got to kind of compensate for that and know that, look, I'm going to have a good night. So, you know, I'm not going to set my alarm to get up at seven to try and do my three batches of 45 minutes because that'll kill me because I've only had two hours sleep. So maybe I'll get up at 11 and have a coffee and go for a run and then I'll come back. And they're the first things I'm going to do is those three batches of 45 minutes.
00:17:54
Speaker
um over time once you kind of you know get through all your party years and get through you know all your study and you join the workforce and you have to be at work at 8 am over time you will kind of naturally morph back to be that morning person yes let's be realistic you've got to have a life you've got to have fun you're at school or uni you want to also be enjoying yourself so um
00:18:21
Speaker
The bottom line is you want to match your energy to doing your hard work. And so if you've got an assignment or you're studying for an exam, do it when you have your most energy. Yes. And Kate, would you say that techniques like the Pomodoro method, I'm not sure if you've heard of that. It's like a 25 minute block and then a five minute break. Yes. Would you recommend doing something like that, those sort of techniques?
00:18:50
Speaker
100%. Yeah, absolutely. And that was what I was talking about in terms of batching. I think we can work longer than the 25 minutes. I think around 40, 45 minutes is really good. And you'll know yourself. Your listeners will know. Some of them will say, oh, I can go for 30 minutes and then I need a break. Other people will be, I can go a full hour before I lose concentration.
00:19:12
Speaker
So know in yourself what your tolerance is and then set an alarm for that and work against the clock. I'd recommend don't use your phone alarm, don't use your computer alarm or your device alarms because it kind of draws you back into the technology. I would just buy a little e-timer, a little winding up to
00:19:31
Speaker
tick timer, sit it on your desk. The white noise of the ticking helps focus us. And then if you're someone who can work for 40 minutes without being distracted, then set it for 40 minutes and challenge yourself to work against the clock. So those sort of techniques are really useful, Mary. Yeah, nice. And Kate, if you're not motivated just at all and there's just zero motivation to do any work whatsoever, what would you say?
00:19:58
Speaker
is a good way to kind of hype yourself up and get into doing the work. Think about the first step that's gonna be the easiest step to take. And maybe it is a matter of just saying, I'm gonna open the book, or I'm just gonna read chapter one, or just read chapter one, or I'll just read the first two pages. And just work out what that very first step is. And once we start, often it's a lot easier than we thought it was gonna be. And once we start, we've got momentum.
00:20:26
Speaker
And then we can say, okay, what's the next step? I'm going to read another chapter. Yes. Like those little, I guess, stepping stones. A hundred percent. Yeah. It's just about getting a sense of momentum, isn't it? Yes. For a student who is in secondary or tertiary education.
00:20:44
Speaker
that does have a lot on their plate. I'll just give an example. Let's just say they're getting home at 6 p.m. every night. They want to be in bed by 9 p.m. and therefore they only have a couple hours to do their homework. What would you say, Kate, is the best way to be productive and use those time investment strategies to have a really productive session?
00:21:08
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. Great. Great question, Mary. I would make sure that you, when you have that to do list of all this, these are the say the five things I need to study, then have it make a realistic assessment in terms of how long do I want to spend on each thing? So something you might think, well, I just have to read two chapters of this book. It's going to take me 20 minutes. So great. But if something is a bigger task where it's going to take you four hours, well, you can't do it
00:21:36
Speaker
in that one time slot and you've only got three hours to spend. So work out what you actually have to do, what's on your plate, and then put a sort of a pretty good time estimate against it. So here are the five things I have to do. The first thing's gonna take me 20 minutes. The second thing's gonna take me 40 minutes. Okay, well that's an hour, so I can do both of those. The other things are gonna take me three hours each, so I can't do those.
00:22:03
Speaker
So maybe what I do is I just do an hour of each of them, or maybe I do half an hour of the first one, half an hour of the second one, and then do the rest tomorrow night.
00:22:12
Speaker
So you want to set yourself up for success by having some good time estimates. So true, yes. And that, I guess, balance between study life and social war, just that relaxation, like you were saying, is super, super important.
Effective Time Management Tools and Laws
00:22:26
Speaker
Yes, wow. Yeah, it is. Do you, I mean, for me, I'm a big advocate for planners. Yeah. I love a good diary or a good planner. So what do you think about, I guess, utilizing them to manage your time? Yeah. If they're like an effective waiter.
00:22:41
Speaker
I love them too. I love them too. I'm a pen and paper girl. I've always got a notebook and my pen. I buy one that feels nice to touch and it looks nice. It looks pretty. And I love lots of different colored pens because I can use different colored pens for different types of work. So if I'm working on say strategy,
00:23:07
Speaker
I'll use a red pen because I know that it just focuses my mind. So you might do the same where you think, okay, everything I do with my social life, I'm going to use with a blue pen. Everything that's to do with my work, part-time job, I'm going to use a green pen and everything to do with study, I'm going to use a black pen. And it just helps segment them in your mind, but also in the book.
00:23:28
Speaker
But not everyone is pen and paper, you know, use a good organizer online or a good cloud calendar because you want to have access to it wherever you go. I am a big one for deadlines. There is an economic theory that you may or may not have heard of called Parkinson's Law.
00:23:49
Speaker
And even if you haven't heard that name, you're gonna know the theory. Parkinson's law is the theory that says a task expands to fill the time made available for it.
00:23:59
Speaker
So that's why we have to put deadlines in. So that's why if you have a calendar or an organizer, put your deadlines in. So you've got a month to write the paper, it's going to take you a month to write the paper. If you have a week to write the paper, it's going to take you a week. If your lecturer forgets to give you a deadline, you're not going to write the paper. So this is why we really want to use deadlines. Yes, for sure.
00:24:23
Speaker
So yeah, I love organizers. I love them. I love every year, you know, like going to Kmart or Kiki K or something and selecting out my favorite planner for the year. Yeah, I 100% agree. So good. My beautiful dad always gives me a lovely organizer for Christmas every year. So it's sort of become a bit of a tradition now. And yeah, it's lovely. I love it. So good.
00:24:46
Speaker
It's such a good way to start thinking about the next year as well. And you're sort of getting your mind into that headset of, yeah, the following year. It's awesome. Nice. Yeah, for sure. And it's beautiful for goal setting as well, just in terms of where do I want to be in five years time, you know? Exactly. All the work I do is around making sure people have those extra 30 hours a month. And it's not to do 30 hours of study or extra study, it's 30 hours to plan out what your amazing life is going to look like. Exactly.
00:25:16
Speaker
Yes, and do you like having the planners that are a week to page? So you have Monday to Friday on one side and you're Saturday to Sunday bridged out? Or do you sort of just have it all in on one side of the page? No, I just have open ended. Yeah, I just, I don't even have days or dates. I have like the notebooks if you like. And then I just write the date in at the top.
00:25:37
Speaker
Um, so I don't like being confined for space. So, you know, for the day I might have a sentence or I might have three pages and so I don't like being put into their box. I just like it to be open-ended for me. Fair enough. That's good. That's a good way to do it. Yes. It's probably a good idea to have it open-ended because you're sort of, you can just, yeah, do as many to-do lists as you want. You know, bottom line when it comes to
00:26:01
Speaker
investing your time well. If you've got things that are working for you, don't change them. You know, if you've got a suite of strategies that are working,
00:26:10
Speaker
Keep going, keep going. And then add new ones to them. It's about working out what are the habits that are bad and getting rid of those. But if you've got habits that are good that work, then keep doing them. Sick with them. Yes, nice. Could you talk to us a little bit about the work to life integration and particularly for tertiary students? I'm so interested in it because it mentioned it on your website. Yeah, so I guess this is me kind of being a little bit of a rebel.
Integrating Life and Work for Better Time Investment
00:26:41
Speaker
I have a lot of clients, a lot of corporate clients, and they talk all about work-life balance.
00:26:51
Speaker
poster employees on the front of their work-life balance brochures and you know you'll know that your tertiary students will know this if they're going out and to you know employer affairs and stuff and yeah you know the employers we're an employer of choice and i'll give you a brochure and look at our work-life balance and there'll be a picture of some bloke who's a part-time dad and he's throwing the kids in the air and it's it just drives me insane the whole idea is
00:27:17
Speaker
that I have is we can't balance all of those aspects of our life. You can't equally devote time to study, to your family, to your friends, to your hobbies, to your health, to your part-time job. There's just no way to balance all of that up and I think particularly when you join the workforce we get to the point where we're kind of killing ourselves to create balance
00:27:42
Speaker
And I just don't think we can do it and I think it's a bar that's too hard to reach. So I prefer to approach all of that in terms of work-life integration. It's all just life. You know, your friends are part of your life, your family's part of your life, study's part of your life, partying, hanging out with your mates, your part-time job, exercise, it's just life.
00:28:07
Speaker
And so don't try and balance it. Just integrate it. Where am I? I've got an hour. Where am I going to invest it? Or maybe my mum wants to hang out with me. I'll invest it in her. And I'm saying that because I've got three kids. Or, you know, I'm going to invest it an hour in my own exercise, or I'm going to go and sleep. Or, you know, where am I most needed at the moment? You know, you want to have a well-rounded life where
00:28:34
Speaker
you do the things and have access to the things that you most value, but don't kind of put a time limit or commitment on them and then feel incredibly guilty that you're not spending equal amounts of time everywhere because it's just not possible. And last question, do you have any other points that you would like to discuss? I would say that
The Focus on Single Tasking
00:29:01
Speaker
One last thing to kind of leave you with in from very much from the perspective of studying and and being you know secondary or tertiary and It's so important just to focus on one thing at a time So when you're studying a lot of people will say well I'll kind of do a little bit of English and maths at the same time or I'll I'll cover off I've got two assignments kind of on the go at the same time because I'll get twice as much done and
00:29:27
Speaker
And you're toggling between reports and you're trying to respond to emails and you're checking your phone. It doesn't work. Multitasking does not work. When we multitask, our productivity goes down by about 40%. So do one thing at a time. Do it well.
00:29:44
Speaker
set the timer, just focus on that topic, timer goes off, put those books away or close those screens, move on to your next topic. It will absolutely maximise what you retain, it's going to maximise your productivity, so one thing at a time. And being really strict with yourself, so sticking to that time. Yeah, a lot of that stuff comes down to mind management. For sure. I'm not going to check my phone for an hour, I'm going to do this study for an hour and
00:30:13
Speaker
and be strict with yourself, set some boundaries and try and maintain them. Yes, wow, awesome.
