Grrrr. I am frustrated.

I have about 10 pages more to type today for a Philosophy midterm and won't let myself leave my apartment until it's done, but unfortunately it seems I'm finding anything and everything to do around the house instead of work.

So far I have:

- Cleaned my room, the bathroom, and the kitchen
- Vacuumed the entire apartment
- Talked to Bas on MSN
- Posted on TA
- Organized/Burned new music
- Gone to class.

I can't seem to motivate myself what-so-ever to do any writing - In fact, the only thing I have done well is sticking to my guns and not smoking any pot until my work is done, which may seem a foregone conclusiont o some, but unfortunately I smoke a bit more than I probably should.

So, anyone have any recommendations for what I can do to whip myself into shape? I hate the fact that I procrastinate so much, so often, but I can't seem to find a way to beat it.... Am I just a lazy douche?

Ack.

/rant

/wasting more time not doing what I should be.

I have the SAME EXACT problem. Sometimes I catch myself staring at the wall......then I realize I've been day dreaming for about 5 minutes and start working again.

But seriously, you don't seem like you have lots of other shit to deal with, or be stressed out about. So the best advice I could give you is go somewhere quiet, and just get right into it, immediately.

When I was in high school, I procrastinated like a bitch (lord knows how I graduated). I realize now that the reason I procrastinated so much was because I was "thinking about doing the work," instead of actually doing it. So if I stopped thinking, and just forced myself to write - poof! - there goes the procrastination.

i writed a song.

i was the same way, typing up papers 3 in the morning the night before. adhd ftw. but seriously, the funny part is that i would write my best work under the most pressure, it just seriously made me focus. paper could be due 3 weeks from now, nope, wouldn't touch it 'till day before.

Don't do this! You will be bludgeoned severely about the head and shoulders!

Barely completed in time, the paper may actually earn a fairly good grade; whereupon the student experiences mixed feelings: pride of accomplishment (sort-of), scorn for the professor who cannot recognize substandard work, and guilt for getting an undeserved grade. But the net result is reinforcement: the procrastinator is rewarded positively for his poor behavior. ("Look what a decent grade I got after all!") As a result, the counterproductive behavior is repeated over and over again.

Never do it again. Source (damn good source too): http://www.sas.calpoly.edu/asc/ssl/procrastination.html

I lolled.
I do that too. Just keep thinking about some random things and then wake up feeling pretty embarrassed about it .

I've been on TA pretty much the whole day today. And I'm supposed to do job hunt. But I have so much inertia to start new things, and the whole process seems so daunting.
