mydiamond Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 (So this is me taking a break from writing my paper...) Biggest lie I ever tell myself: It's okay, I can finish it tomorrow. No I certainly can't! so now I end up with a paper due on Tuesday, a Geography test on Monday, Math test on Wednesday and a drawing (arts homework) also due on Wednesday. Oh and have I mentioned that I got English speaking test on Thursday too? I've spent almost 6 hours finishing my paper, yet I still got one and a half chapters remaining. My head feels heavy can't handle typing another "poverty" or "inflation".... wait I have just did! anyways, I've always been a procrastinator. "Tomorrow" is my favorite word, "later" is second-favorite I'm not proud of it, but can hardly change either. But since I'm nearing graduation and I really need my report card to look good, I decided I can't be a procrastinator forever. Tips? Past experiences? Suggestions? Advice? Help me finish my drawing?

Emma Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Homework timetables and stick to it! Make yourself comfy, bit of music, a snack or two and then get stuck in! Good luck Olivia xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted September 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 sometimes the "do it now!" works, but some other times it just don't tried to make to-do lists but not as helpful as I thought. Will give the homework timetable a try though.. It's been a long time since the last time I made one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Forcing myself off the internet (and that includes my mail and husky-owners) is usually the best way for me to keep on working. Another tip I would give is to do your homework somewhere else (like at school, or in the livingroom, or another quiet area). I found that it's harder to keep your mind focussed on homework if you're in the same place where you also do the fun stuff like gaming, browsing husky-owners, etc. Putting on headphones with music that motivates you may also work. The hardest step is to BEGIN. Once you're started it's much easier to keep going. Don't focus on the entirety of your homework. Just think of the next chapter you have to do. What you have to do after that is a problem for later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyGuerl Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 I can't do my homework at home because I always have my Internet to fall back on..so I have to go somewhere without access then I get a lot done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goingsolo Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Sorry, as a fellow procrastinator I have no advice. Good luck with it Olivia x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
