Anybody else have trouble concentrating and putting things off till the last minute? I have a 3 page research paper due tomorrow and I'm just starting it right now. And once again I'm on the internet instead of doing it. Anyone have any tips for how to avoid this? If I have to I can fake being sick tomorrow and make a deal with my dad to stay home and finish it. :grinno:
 
im a master at procrastinating
 
Yeah.... sometimes I have to force myself to sit at the school library and study. I know I need to.. I put it off.. and its not good. I cant concentrate to study. I always have something to get done or do. If I am at home I just do all the other things. Then I try cramming at the last minute which never goes over well o_o I havent figured out how to get around this yet.
 
I avoided it today! I brought in a blank flash drive, told her I had my paper on it and a few other things. She opened it and couldnt find anything, so she let me take it home and try again. :D
 
LOL! Just get it over with. Sometimes I'd print all my sources out and just wrote most of it by hand to avoid tabbing between fark, forums and im screens constantly distracting myself. Turn your phone off as well. I'm guilty of pulling all nighters due to procrastination myself. Prob best to just work a little at a time once you get the assignment.
 
I did wright most of the paper last night, but it's worth 250 points, so I wanted to get it finished before I turn it in.
 
It's done! It took me forever to concentrate, but once I started it went fairly quick. Now I just have to add the citations. :(
 
I suffer as well. I think the world just offers too many entertaining distractions. Or chores. Why is it I would rather scrub the kitchen than write my papers? It's like a guillotine is falling on my neck but I'd rather take a moment to yawn instead of getting my head out from under the blade. I wish I knew why. Perhaps it's the pressure I put on myself or fear of failure. Maybe it's fear of perfectionism. Still don't know.

Same here, I will do anything to get out wrighting an essay. I had all week to do it, but I started last night. Made me miserable to do it, but it wasn't all that hard. I wish there was a pill for procrastination. :grinno:

Even now, i'm supposed to be wrighting out sources, but I just cant force myself to do it.
