Author Topic: I admit it, I am a procrastinator in denial  (Read 2122 times)

For me, my egotistic self and "why bother" attitude fails me.

I'll have a paper and go "I'll do it when I get home!" but then when I think about it I go "Well I've finished all my other things 30 minutes before it's due, why stop now? I can stop later"
Or "Onoez I should stop procrastinating, oh wait look at myself, look how good I am, I guess it doesn't matter if I procrastinate or not."

I need to fix my mindset and look at all these people who are rank <10 in my class(by class I mean grade, like class of 2012). I'm rank 19 and I was 17, that means others are doing better and I'm doing same or worse. I need to up my game and stop this.

brb going to force myself to do my postcards(thing for english on book) and work on my two projects(Speech project over 1980s). But one of them depends on others so I'll ask them what the game plan is. (Building squirrel homes for some biology GT stuff.)

Finished 3/7 notecards.

Those three are due Friday, now I don't have to worry about those :D.

Tomorrow I will finish the other notecards.
Tomorrow morning however I'm going to do my notes for speech project.

Maybe twice during writing the notecards I thought about getting back on the computer to check the forums, but then I realized, I'll just be mindless on the internet and that's boring and pointless. At least I'm working now so now I have something to do instead of go around doing nothing.

Hm I think I want to remove the tv from my room (I never use it, all my tv shows are automatically downloaded via rss). Then I could put a bookshelf in its place, and slowly fill it with books, books are interesting and fun, plus I could read it at school and anywhere.

My goal is becoming Rank <= 10 in my school. Maybe I should limit my computer time, like have it so I can't access any websites other than wikipedia and dictionary/thesaurus websites, and get it so I can only have an hour a day of playing at max.

Does anyone know a program that could do it?

I used to be a procrastinator untill I learned a way to fix it (Yes, I do not procrastinate now there is a way to fix it!_

Ways to Fix

* First my mom is a guiltaholic which means shes gets guilty alot and I got the gene passed down to me so when ever I thought "oh ill do this work later " I make myself feel guilty and do it then"

* When I got the work down I felt glad and happy  and I liked that feeling so I just pushed myself  on thinking of the emotional reward at the end.

* Then I started to give myself rewards if I finished early or did something well that I could have done a shorter way just not a better grade

* Then my religous part of me kicked in...Explains all basicly

Overall it makes me so much happier to not procrasinate so please if this helps you , I hope it does, please tell me.
