teach me how... Options

[*kryogenix*]

... to not procrastinate. Seriously.

[sugarcult86]

hm, i think almost everyone does. its hard to stop that bad habit :T maybe you could start making a to do list and really stick by it. not only do a to do list, but maybe you could add what time you should do the task. also, catch yourself while you're lingering around, not doing the work you should be doing. you should also get your friends to help you =) goodluck!

[*kryogenix*]

heh, if i had any friends.

what is procrastinate?

Gah I need help on that too. I procrastinate tooo much. I had 2 months to finish a History project and I ended up rushing on the last 2 days before the due date. - -;;

But Chris (asiangetokewl) has been like my motivationer these few days. He really wants me to finish my work and when I don't, I know he's dissapointed and that makes me sad too. So because of him, I try my best to do my work.

I think one of the best ways to get rid of procrastination is to get a trust-worthy friend to help you. Give that friend a list of things you are suppose to do and that friend makes sure you stick to it by constantly reminding you until you get annoyed and actually do your work.

Procrastination is to put off something.

Example, I am suppose to finish my essay and hand it in tomorrow. I know I should be doing it, but instead I say to myself, 'I'll do it later'. That's procrastination.

[y0urmistake]

Whistle while working.

No, seriously, you should work while on the computer-- it works for me!

[dukesoccer07]

I'll tell you in a bit

[m@dcow]

ask ur parents to get out the whip... turn off all the electronics... and think about ur future

[Mini]

procrastinating is not always a good habit, but study show that if you procrastinate things, it gives time for your brain to interpret things and solve them before you ever actually do it.

[sheddingtears]

It has already become a habit. Sometimes I hate procrastinating and sometimes I don't. Yeah, I don't really have self-control on this. I guess the only way for me to stop procrastinating is to actually do it by forcing myself. Heck, I can slap myself if I need to. Get motivated somehow.

[casssy]

heh, if i had any friends.

I'm your friend, Buddy Hmmm.. let's see.. I can always call you and bug at you when you're Procrastinating... and yell at you Eh I procrastinate all the time and it's bad but my parents are worse and it annoys the heck out of me.

Hhhahas it works for me too!

But the thing is, the computer sort of helps in the procrastination, AT TIMES. Like, I'd rather chat online and post on cB rather than finish my essay, until 10 PM at night or something. But well i"ve failed in trying to stop my procrastination. It has become so bad that I turn in the essays and homework for my english class about.. hm.. 2 days to a WEEK late. But I still get full credit

[kirbymuixo]

I have major problems with procrastination because I do it often myself too. I tend to put everything off and do them during the last minute when I'm under pressure. During the school year, I would procrastinate and not start on my studies until like 10 pm at night. Then I would finish my homework at around 2 am and become sleep deprived the next morning. In order to prevent procrastination, I guess you would have to become motivated to start on whatever you're planning to do and remain persistent throughout the whole thing so that you would be able to eventually get it finished.

[*tweeak*]

oh man, im horrible. the way to temporarily stop is to fail or get in trouble, then your more prepared the next time, but on that one, the side effects are worse than the outcome is good...

[illmizzkim]

HAH. I procrastinate all the time, so I wouldn't be able to help you.

Just.. don't procrastinate.

[silver-rain]

hmm, i also need to start procrastinating. hmm, once you've learned, teach me.

[JustHere4NoReaso...]

Hm.... try setting goals and work towards them. Set a schedule. That might help a little bit.

[SasukeNaru]

interest and alertness can lead to that.. if u dont like something ull in turn want to just ignore it lol and if ur tired u'll forget things and sometimes u just put away what u hafta do for awhile and just rest

[juliar]

Step One: Step away from the computer. Farrrr.
Step Two: Surround yourself in surroundings that have nothing distracting. No magazines, no anything. No trinkets. Go to the bookstore or a library if you have to.
Step Three: Make sure you have everything you will eat and drink during that time. Be sure to have at least 2 cups of water, or a water bottle. Some food.
Step Four: Work.

[inthemudhole]

Bleh. I'm a big procrastinator, myself..
I really don't think there's much of a way to solve it.
Just.. get it done. As long as you get it done, you're fine. As long as you get it done on TIME, you're great. You can cram it in at the last minute, but as long as you get it done on TIME.. that's all that counts.. you might not get as good of a grade (if it concerns school), but a poor grade is better than no grade.

[dani41790]
