1. effects on project completion
students were given a week to do a short study project
they were asked to predict when they would begin & when they would finish
both process & outcome students got started more promptly than controls
process students were more effective at finishing on time than the other two groups
process students also said they found the project easier than the other two groups did

2. doing process visualisation exercises
for 5 minutes each day imagine yourself
managing the tasks of the day in a way that will help you be very successful in achieving your priorities
see yourself coping really well both with the external problems and dis-tractions you may need to tackle, and also with the internal emotions that might make things difficult
