Yeah, I have a procrasting problem (don't we all).

I just always get all track when I need to work, never really getting started. Once I get working though, I'm fine.

Yes, I'm procrasting sitting here typing this up, but well, I've done nothing for the last hour, so 5 more minutes isn't the biggest deal dry.gif

Any good tips to prevent procrastination?

(Plus, we need this forum to be active, so here's another thread happy.gif )

If you procrastinate, I will drive a car into the nearest mango stand and squish every mango I see.

Procrastination isnt bad, as long as you have good judgement
You cant underestimate your assignments, you gotta analyze them and see how long it might take you

I got the a point where I was 2nd period hw in 1st period 3rd in 2nd and so on, and it worked out pretty well. I never had homework, and I never really had to study for tests. I didnt have a full period study hall. I managed to get pretty good grades. Mostly As, 1 or 2 Bs

For this year, for some reason I stopped. I just like the feeling of now having to worry. There was alot of stress that came with procrastination.

Dont drop it, perfect it hash.png

Adderall is helpful. I've never tried it but as long as you don't abuse it (technically its abuse if you take it when its not prescribed to you, and also illegal) it will probably improve your attention span.

Just stuff I heard 'round the interwebs.

i'd say to do your work before you do anything else, that way ur mind is always set on completing the task before play.

and one thing wont lead to another that way.

I remember giving advice to someone ages ago. Of course, it changes for each person. Some people find it better just to cut off from the surroundings and slog away for a good several hours. Other like routine breaks, others like random breaks.

Personally, I find it hard to just sit down and work, unless its close to a deadline. Especially at home. There's lots of things I do to keep myself motivated:
- Listen to music, usually without vocals
- Playing CS1.6 in rounds, cos while you die you have time to do stuff (and this really does help me concentrate believe it or not)
- AFKing on RS (takes away some of the distraction, in a way)
- Study with others - works for some, not for others

Wut is procrastination? From what I've read so far is it not being able to hold your attention to something?

Putting stuff off to the last possible moment, risking not being able to finish before the deadline.

Thanks for the advice guys happy.gif

I really need to stop it though, so I have to stop it somehow wink.gif I don't really wanna live with the stress, and I need the sleep more than ever sad.gif

Geoff, like Eregion said, procrastination is the tendency to just push work aside and do something else, especially when you're supposed to be working. Its leaving things till the last possible moment and stressing out about it mad.gif
