procrastination

so here i am typing on ta. hitting refresh to see if anything new is being said. and why?!?! because im the wrld's biggest procrastinator. i have 2 projects due to 2 builders on monday and still have a house to go and measure out and i cant get myself up to do it. i am a smart ass kid ( a little uneducated, but neverthelesss witty and smart) and iseem to have this bad bad habit, and no baby its not you, it aint you, its called procrastination. i cant get mysefl to do things but once i do i dont stop till its done. however its just the act of getting myself going. once i have the momentum i dont stop for anything cept for food. any suggestions to overcome myself? and get that initial momentum?

just force yourself i guess. say that, ok i'll just study for 30 min. but you will see since you already started that you will actually go for longer cuz you just said that once you start you keep going. but you know that 30 min is nothing anyway so its easy to say ok i will study for only 30 min.
maybe that can work..

I'm a HUGE procrastinator too, but lately when I find myself putting thngs off in the exact same way you are, I just tell myself that it's more worth my time to do what I have to do than to sit on TA and wait for something to happen (and nothing ever happens). Turn off your computer, sit down, and just FORCE yourself to work on your projects...even if only for an hour.

maybe however the othe rproblem i have is that im a ta addict and a msn addict. my work has to be done on the comp. but i have it set in my head that when im on the comp i have to check ta and be on msn and check email and all that shit.

i know the solution is to buy a laptop and not install any of that shit on it and just do the work from there. however, laptops arent cheap

Same here man, same here. Just get an older sub-laptop like an HP Jornada 820 that's only good for Word and shit but weighs only 2 pounds like I have and go to town.

yep i know what u mean. see if im gonna get shit done i have to go to the local library. i get soo much work done just sitting there because theres nothing to do but do ur work./ ill be like ok ive worked 2 hours straight let me take a 20 min break. so ill stand up walk around and there will be absolutely fuck all to do (plus the librarians are all old and ugly) so i end up just taking a 2 min break and going back to work. FUCK i need a laptop.

whates even funnier is that subconciously i just made this thread to procrastinate from doing my work :P

Turn off msn
Close your browser
Open up whatever program u need to do your work and just sit there until u do it.

procrastination is like masturbation. At the time it seems like a good idea, but really, you're only fucking yourself.

^^^heard that before. so true. lol

do yourself a favor and disconnect your cable modem. then give it to someone and tell them not to give it back until your assignment is done.

procrastination is my life story

i tried to first place my comp on another table in my room, and use the one on which it was on for studying. didnt work. i was practically at the new table my whole time! so then i tried to place it in another empty room i got. it was a better idea, but i was still going pretty much back and forth nonstop.

btw, does anyone here listen to music while studying? can they concentrate? i put on prog, but i can only do it wen im doing something like math. when i gotta read something its alot harder so i just turn it off. but i usually have to have something on cuz otherwise the shit im doing is just tooo boring to be only doing that!

I typically like music or the tv to be on when I study...sometimes I want it to be quiet, but thats rare.

procrastination is like masterbation, in the end you're only fucking yourself.

I understand your problem well. This is why I prefer being with my Thinkpad, sitting in a public library or Tim Hortons where there is no WiFi or net access. I have done this for a couple years now (I am in a faced-paced college program), and it works great. Only recently did one Tims kick me out.

Eliminate the root of the problem, and get rid of the net access itself. God speed, vividboy!

The problem with that though is that many times you need the internet for work, at least for school.

I'm a terrible procrastinator myself. Usually I get things done on time though, but I just can't do it before I really have to.
