I feel your pain. I have HUGE procrastination issues. Last week I had to do this dumb-ass creative project that i had 2 months to work on. Worked from 4PM after school to 6AM the next day. FML. And it looked like hell. sigh
Yah... I'm the same boat. Got about 80-100 pages to write and half a dozen pieces that exemplify the various styles of electronic music to record by december 13th if I wanna graduate. I've written maybe 30 pages of my first draft and havn't begun working on my creative project. Gonna be a long couple weeks ^^. Good luck with your studies!
I staid up for about 36 hours straight to do a 15 page physics lab report about a month ago. It was due online by 5:00pm sharp. The time I handed it in was 4:58pm. I was somewhat scared because I hadn't even opened up the web page or knew where exactly to upload the paper, but I managed to do it with 2 minutes remaining.
... then I found out you only needed to hand in a "rough draft" with an outline of your report. I'm not even joking, it was basically done for its due date 2 weeks in advance.
So actually this wasn't even procrastination.
Oh and as far as errors went, it was pretty solid the only thing that was fucked up was the conclusion. There were two sentences that made no sense what so ever, but for a 15 page paper that's pretty good.
Don't fight it. Just give in to its warmth and comfort. Writing... That's so much work to do. Imagine all the pain and discomfort you'll have to ENDURE to do it. Just browse around for a few minutes, THEN you can start your paper. Promise. Come on, the WCG games deserves a second viewing. And by the time you've finished JD vs Bisu, and Stork vs JD, it'll be time for day 9's latest episode. Perfect timing! There are also a few AWESOME movies on after day 9's cast (Like Se7en). You should go watch them right afterwards. In the meantime, go check your facebook, you never know when someone has left a comment on your status, anyways, you need to check whether that cute girl accepted your friends request or not. Oh and did you read that latest thread in General? Some teen raped a three year old and his father shot him, execution style as a result. Outrageous! Go give your two cents to the discussion.
Speaking of which, whatever happened to that whole nongming thing. It's so unfuckingfair that they let Idra in, who's been TRAINING with PROGAMERS for an entire year, while nogmin, who simply laddered his way to the top is not allowed. Go check out that thread and leave your opinion as well. Oh and what about the "Draw your way across the cliff" thread. I wonder if there are even more clever pictures now, better go check it out. Better yet, make a picture yourself. It won't take that long... 5 minutes? I don't think someone has done a parody of "Lemmings" yet. Have you seen the latest episode of Dexter? No??? Download it! If you've never even heard of it, start from season 1. It's an amazing show. Oh and last but not least, if you've browsed everything under the sun in general, broodwar, and tourney's, you should browse through blogs. Endless supply of interesting topics you just HAVE to comment on. And don't forget to edit your posts, just in case you forget to add something important or a clever twist to your post.
lol dude, why don't u just take this as a lesson i'm so glad i got over my last minute essay writing stuff it's just a crappy way to get stressed out better to handle it in sweet sweet moderation

Guys, since I'm so busy NOT procrastinating, I've managed to find a few interseting articles on psychology today about procrastinating and how we might be able to take steps against it:
I have to unplug my internet cord and tape the wireless switch to the off position to even hope to be productive while working on my computer. I was writing an essay two nights ago and at like 5 in the morning I just realized that I had wasted an hour watching people solve rubix cubes super fast and Competitive Tetris...

My procrastination has reached the point where I don't even try making the due dates on some assignments, I just plead with professors/teachers afterwards and it usually works. Only school stuff tho naturally
I think I'm quite brilliant at procrastinating, it's almost like mental gymnastics. So to avoid doing work I posted on this blog. And to avoid even more work I decided to look for some articles on procrastination from "Psychology Today". And to avoid reading every single one of THOSE articles that I linked, I decided to do some research on "visualization". I really think besides having mental strength and fortitude that this is what drives workhorses like Jaedong or IRL geniuses/top athletes/businessmen/artists to work and practice while giving it their all, day after day, week after week, year after year.
I did find some realllly stimulating articles about visualization. Nikola Tesla and Zolton stand out. Of course Nikola Tesla had a monster of an imagination. I remember reading a long time ago that he would create the most vivid worlds in his mind. So crystal clear and tangible in fact that he valued the "relationships" he had with people in his imagination as much as he did his IRL relationships. Zolton, was a blind guy who made the decision to actively practice his ability to visualize, and this allowed him to do amazing things like play tennis. It opened up a 6th sense for him almost.
And now, I'm gonna buy that dude's biography and see what sort of exercises he used to improve his visualization skills.
I ALWAYS seem to find myself on wikipedia when i should be writing a paper or studying. I look up a term relating to my paper and then a few clicks later, I'm reading about tigersharks.
