EPTThis takes little time. But it focuses your mind on tasks. You can play games later. Just make sure you check your notepad. I also recommend you just take a short break before doing anything. Like just lie down on your bed and think about your day.

Yet when I come home I immediately relax and just play starcraft or watch streams. How does an average teamliquid reader counter this OP phenomenon? I go on teamliquid and look for threads on countering procrastination.  | ||

For me though, i see people doing homework, texting, watching tv, while eating, randomly getting on fb/twitter/TL/reddit/etc and i'm like...wtf are you doing? "oh you know, just homework" you are not doing just homework. get your shit all off and do the homework. so i guess, for me the simplest answer is just...have discipline. and then the proper question is, "how i has discipline?" you just do. that's simple. you have any self control at all and you put your ass in gear and GO. | ||

If you have multiple assignments due around the same time, say a week later, spread out which days you work on each one. By all means you do not want to put ALL of them off until the last day. I know ideally you should finish them all when you get home or whatever, but realistically, and considering being prone to procrastination, at least spread out the days you do them. It's much less stressful and easier when you get bits and pieces done ahead of time (similarly - break up the big assignments into smaller tasks). | ||

try to do as much work offline as possible... it actually helps. (especially if you're used to constantly trying to do 5 things at once when you're on the computer... I tend to alt-tab every 15 seconds when I'm working on the computer @_@) | ||

As soon as you get started opening up TL or youtube or MSN, you are screwed and your productivity plummets. The best solution is just prevention. | ||

It does suck because it takes time to do this each night but I have found that I actually have much more productive days during the week usually allowing me to get all my school stuff done and leaving my weekends free. | ||
