In all seriousness, though, it's just willpower. I had the same problem in highschool but when I went to college I told myself to get my shit together and I noticed a huge improvement in my overall work habits. Once you get in the habit of not resting until your work is done it gets quite easy actually. Plus it feels amazing when you can finally unwind after busting your ass doing homework and what not. | ||

Procrastinating is how I keep my life from being boring. I handle stuff well in a state of emergency at 4 AM anyway. | ||

I'm in my last year of law school. I've been in school for 20 years straight. That's 80% of my ENTIRE F*CKING LIFE. I'm just...burnt out. I have 2 papers I need to work on, as well as working an externship, going to class, networking, and applying for jobs. And I'm doing about none of that. I just never have the willpower at the end of the day. And it's now starting to negatively affect my mood. When I'm working or in class, I think about the work I've been procrastinating and it depresses me. Then I get home, and instead of actually SOLVING the problem by doing the damn work, I just screw around on the internet or watch TV or work out or do anything other than my work. We can be procrastination-beating buddies. When you get home tonight, just sit down and DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. I'm going to do it, too. Hopefully 3-hours-from-now-Me has the same amount of resolve as current-Me. | ||

On the occasion where there are a lot of streams on or I am in the mood to play games, that is where willpower comes in, I just think to myself that if I work on my school stuff now, then I have all the stress-free time in the world afterwards to do whatever I want to. If i do it the other way around, and save the assignment for the last minute, I know that I will have stress, and no one wants a lot of stress. | ||

For me it really was just a matter of self-control. A swim or drown situation. That epiphany came to me one day when I was doing research for a huge IB essay on Nikola Tesla, and I was reading his biography. He did the same sort of thing and I copied him. | ||
