Question

How can I stop procrastinating?! I have so much to do and I'm months behind, I keep putting things off!?

Answer 1

If I may be so bold to attempt to provide an answer (since I am the worst procrastinator).  At some point, say tomorrow at 10 in the morning - dump all of the projects that have accumulated and begin forward with projects as they come up.  Carefully, I warn to stop saying "Yes" to everybody, I know you want to be helpful - BUT you know that when you reeeeeaaaaalllllyyyyyy need help, there wont be a darn person there for you.  Get the projects done that will benefit YOU the most.

Good luck, one project at a time...

Answer 2

why do today what you can do tommorow?

Answer 3

Get off the computer and start working!

Answer 4

Do it tomorrow  

Answer 5

First, get off here - then make a list of things you need to do - the easiest things should be at the top - then as you tick more things off you will get satisfaction from knowing that's one less thing to do.

Answer 6

You'll never catch up now.  Continue doing what you've always done.  I'm pretty sure people have given up on you by now.

Answer 7

fear of failure may hinder you from trying maybe trying to be too perfect, you can do it just get on with it, i am the same with my studies you just have to give yourself a good talking to, think of the good  job you will get and money you can earn concentrate on success not failure

Answer 9

It's all about time management. Start your day early, doing all that you can with a goal at the end of the day like leaving extra time at the end of the day to just do whatever.

Answer 10

Go and live on the Isle of Man, that's the natural way there "Why do it to today if you can do it tomorrow" I lived there for 11 months, I still haven't recovered.

Answer 11

Your not alone.I also have the same problem.What you should do is get off the computer and shut it off,turn the tv off,put your cellphone on vibrate and put your ipod away.

Answer 12

i feel sorry that people are giving you stupid answers.

i have the same problem and what I do is when i have a big assignment I put my phone, ipod & laptop (if you have a computer you can unplug it) and any other distractions away in my cupboard. I'm not allowed to touch them.

Then I get a whole bunch of food and drink and set it out in front of me and sit down and do my work. I'm not allowed to get up until it's done.

Also unplug your phone

Hope this helps

Answer 13

I'll answer your question later.

Answer 14

Get a planner (try Staples-they have the best) that has months and then weeks on them.  It will have the months and then THAT month's weeks broken down by 15 minutes.

Write down the things you have to do in  a list.

Put them in order of importance and then put them on your calendar week by week making sure you have enough time to complete them.

Cross out your list when you've marked them on your calendar.

THEN-on the week by week, plan out your days every sunday in pencil.  If you DON'T get them done, add them to the next week or the weekend as "punishment" meaning you can't DO something unless you get it done.

If you have a test that week or something major, highlight it and right a reminder two weeks or so beforehand so that you can start preparing.  It will take a day or so to get this planner done, but it will be WORTH it.  It's how I got my degrees in college completed.  

Don't forget to post it note the fact that you need to get your planner and organize, lol.
