QUOTE I always have my computer on, and that's why I always rush to it when I get home. If you're like me and leave your computer on.. you should turn it off and leave a post-it note on the monitor screen saying "AFTER THE HOMEWORK". After you finish your homework, go to sleep. When you go home after school the next day, you'll rush to the computer and see the note and the black monitor and you'll think.. "Oh crap. My homework." Meh.. worked for me. hmmm i should try that

i procrastinate too -- & it's amazing how much stuff you can get done within a few hours. haha i guess if you just really focus on your work, then you'll be straight.

thats exactly how I am, I tell myself every night (1 or 2 clock- I'm doing hw) that tommorow I won't let that happen and I believe myself and then the next day comes, and there i do it all over again, it's just become a habit, and u really have to work hard to get off it. Wish I could help, except I'm having the same problems

hey don't worry buddy, you're not the only one. Sometimes you just have to set limits and dealines for yourself. It's hard when you know you have more time, but just tell yourself you can't do anything fun until you get a certain amount of work done. I do that, it works for me!

kill ur computer
 ( j / k )umm i suffer that too, sometimes i find if you do a bit of homework then reward urself like say every 45 mins with chocolate or computer time u do it faster cuz u look foward to that break... but if u cant get off the computer once u get on try rewarding urself differently!  hope it helps.

Homework for an hour, Computer/Work out for an hour, Homework for an hour, Computer/Work out for an hour, and repeats again...
That's how I get by my boring school weeks |

I've had 2 weeks to do 3 essays. 1 has to be on Tuesday, the other 2 have to be in on Friday. Have I done them? Nope. I told myself I would do them Friday just gone then Friday came and I said I'd do them on Saturday. Saturday came and I said I'd do them today. I'll suppose I'll do them tomorrow
 I've lost the question for one of my essays though.

You have to think about your actions, set your priorities. There's no other advice I can give you other then that =/

Oh goodness, this is my biggest downfall. I'm a procrastinating perfectionist. I'll wait until the last day, and then I'll stay up all night making it perfect. Not cool. Tips from me?
-take away your computer or move to another room -start right away even if it makes you feel like an overachieving suckup (lol!) -tell your parents about big projects. They're paid to bug you about things, so at least make them bug you about something that will help you -leave notes for yourself. I'm a big "to-do" list maker now... and I've also found that leaving notes for yourself helps a lot |

I think everyone procrastinates at some point in time.
I deffinatly do, and it really does get the best of me. I really need to stop that too. Like now. I have a 4 page paper due, and I still have to get an interview done before monday, and I don't have any questions. LOL.. OOPS! I better go do that.. Maybe Not! |

Yeah, everyday. Right now at the moment I procrastinate. It's just fun....except the part where you've actually gotta do the homework.
