Pawn Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I have a chemistry lab due tommorow, and I just can't seem to finish it off. It's nearly done but I just can't finish. I feel hungry even though I just ate, my back hurts :(. Also boxxy. Don't you hate procrastination? Discuss how badly procrastinating has messed you up in the past and tips to remedy it.

IGoddessI Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I'm procrastinating now when I'm supposed to be working on 4 assignments. I have another 2 months to finish it in, so that's why I'm being lazy. I work better under pressure, when I know something is due so I get it done. The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.

IGoddessI Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 It would only take me about a week to get everything done if I really wanted to get it done... hmm we'll see what happens :lol: The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.

l0rd Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 The remedy is obvious: DON'T PROCRASTINATE, that is all. There is no secret trick or will-power "cheat", you have to just do it.

Dallas Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 You could remind yourself how bad of a consequence you'll have if you don't hurry up and complete your assignment. ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My_Eggs Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I used to procrastinate to the point that I'd be so far behind in work that it would actually take me the whole time from getting home until going to bed of straight working on homework just to get caught up. After a few times of doing that, I learned that procrastination is ok, but there comes a point when it just gets out of hand. What I suggest is going to your room, closing the door, making sure theres no tv/music/other distractions, and just sit down and force yourself to start working on what needs to get done. Once you finish it, you'll feel so much more relieved knowing that now you can do what ever else you want for the night and not have to worry about finishing your work later. Goodluck with your assignment. :thumbsup: 99 HP, Attack, Strength, Defence, Summoning, Ranged, Herblore, Prayer, Agility, Magic, Slayer, Fletching, Fishing, Woodcutting, Mining, and Thieving.

Riku3220 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 And I thought I was lazy. #-o Just estimate the amount of time you'll need to finish the project and do it later. For example if you know a project is going to take about 2 hours to do. DO IT 2 HOURS BEFORE YOU GO TO BED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmanpur3 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 When it comes to school, procrastination = my friend. 10+ page bibliographical research paper due tomorrow afternoon, I'm just starting it now (have all the research done, but none of the 10 pages written :P). Procrastination just makes me work way more efficiently, so in the end I save time...but at the same time I can tell that the "stress" is taking it's toll on me since I've already spotted some white hairs and I'm 20.

Riku posted in the time I clicked post reply... In class essays are the worst, you forget all the things you should write. NO DOUBLE SPACE!!!!!! My teachers always require double spacing \ (not to mention that, this year, all my essays' lengths have been determined by word-count instead of page-count (they're mostly like 200-500 words, but I can get up to like 3 in a week :wall: )). As for procrastination, it could be said that I'm a master of it. I always do things at the last minute and I still get straight A's while taking the "most rigorous" courseload my school has available. I think the secret is that all I have to do is start the assignment and then not take any breaks. Once I start something I generally finish it before I do anything else, but if I'm interrupted and have to go do something else before I finish, then it can take a while to get back "in the mood" again so that I can finish. > SELECT * FROM users WHERE clue > 0;0 rows returnedThere's no place like 127.0.0.1There are only 10 types of peoplein this world: those who understandbinary and those who don't.This statement is false.$DO || ! $DO ; trytry: command not found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradybunch Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 No double spacing? How odd. My high school uses the MLA Formatting and Style Guide. Do you know if your school uses a formal, universal style guide? Or is it just your teacher's policy? "Oh, Mike!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGoddessI Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 At the moment I'm working on a smaller essay, a 5 page analysis on the upbringing of 5 different children. I might stop though because the tafe decided to tell me they may have given me the wrong modules :wall: it's okay it's not like I didn't just finish reading 10,000+ pages :evil: The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.

Chained_life Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I used to have that problem when I was more addicted to runescape. These days, I can't finish the day without completing my work assignment. I'm addicted to my school work, but hold myself back so I will have something to do the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star. Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Pages? We're marked on our word count so we can't write in bigger text to make it look like loads. I have weak willpower and usually end up leaving the big projects last minute such as the day before the official hand in date. My current procrastination project is writing a 2000 word essay that has to be handed in today. I have 500 words max :wall: Sometimes procrastination is good. Thanks to it my room is now spotless. :D ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
