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

yep i know what u mean. see if im gonna get 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 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. i need a laptop. |

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