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

House is not just a groove. House is a feeling. And when u feel it, you will understand... house music gets you up and makes you high...
