Last year I tried to change my habits as well, and I got everything done as soon as it was given, and even went as far as to revise everything daily. Unfortunately, my urge to do other things (such as play starcraft) were far greater than those to get everything done early, and I gradually slipped back into procrastinating until the night before.

I procrastinate similarly and I always find that I can get away with doing it while maintaining a high grade, but everyone keeps saying that you can't pull that bullshit off in college (I am especially trying to go to an Ivy so I guess this holds more true) so I am trying to at least get some kind of work ethic together.

With that said, I haven't been succeeding.

Octopuss, I'm experimenting with that right now.

Whats even funnier is that I have 13 hours of core courses, and 2 1 hour courses designed to help "first year students"(freshman) study better and adjust to college life. The problem is that I'm trying to focus on my other core classes work, and I keep getting dragged down by the work assigned from the other 2 classes, which is basically telling me to do the fucking work in my other classes(which I would be doing anyway). And of course, since I procrastinate, I don't have time for ALL the work to get done(I do, but not with the time frame I give myself by procrastinating).
Everyones favorite hick.

If I didn't have an Internet connection my productivity would skyrocket.

I've found that in many of my classes were the work is assigned far in advance that all the material on the assignment isn't even covered until a few days before it's due anyway.

I love how no matter what people bitch about their current situation. My friends and I were just talking about this. You do not know how much I wish it was still high school, and even freshman year of college where I didn't have to do shit. Now I am a senior taking 20 hours of all upper level courses with a messed up knee (strain/torn miniscus, happened during FLAG football of all things) trying to get good grades for law school, or good job. I'm sure law school/real world is more hellish then this, and I'm sure dealing w/ kids/wife and saving for their future/your retirement is worse then that. I guess if there is a message in this, it is... Procrastinate while you still can????????????

I procrastinated sooo much in middle school (like doing major projects that take a week to do on the last day, and finishing all the regular homework in homeroom), yet my grade point averages for 8th grade were (and I'm being serious about this, these are my actual GPAs, no bullshitting) 4.5 1st quarter, 4.5 2nd quarter, 4.5 3rd quarter, and 4.433 4th quarter. I studied in class on the day of tests and quizzes, and once, I skipped the first period (42 minutes) of my day to write a 3 page essay and got a 75 out of 75 on it. Yeah, I love bragging; it makes my self-esteem higher.

Anyways, procrastination is a really bad habit, and I need to stop doing it. I agree with what manifesto said about doing your work as soon as you get it so you get lots of free time without worrying about projects and essays, but it's so hard to overcome the urge to just play, and do work at the last possible moment. I really need to stop.

Oh yeah, we need one of these:

in my physics class i sat around and did nothing but talk to my friends all class and then i got a 110 on the final. in calculus i did the same thing, but payed attention in the last month and got a 5 on the calculus ap test. i slept in my english class all of last year, and i got a 5 on the ap language test. i drew cartoons and twirling around my pencil and read fiction during my history class, and i got a 4 on the ap us history test

if you are somewhat intelligent you dont need to really do anything to do well in high school. i procrastinate to the point where i get so close to the deadline where i say im tired and just dont do it, and ill probably have trouble with that in college. i dont really care though, school is for people who want to be successful

Procrastination is not that bad actually. I find myself working MUCH MORE efficiently under pressure (ie. the night before). However, you have to know your limits: eg iIf an assignment is designed to be completed in five days, do it two days before it is due, rather than the night before.

And I also find that the time you waste while procrastinating is more pleasurable than the "regular time" before you know you should be doing something productive, but you aren't.

When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

this weekend and week i am the perfect example of fucking up thx to procrastination.

i had a math term paper due today, halloween, and so saturday i was like "eh. i can get it done." and rather than do the paper, i took advantage of an invitation to go on sort of a double date hoping i can finally seal the deal with this chick ive been trying to get with for a week or two. (which btw worked. so even though i totally fucked myself paper wise, i still got SOMETHING done.) sooo there i am getting home 2 am, worked on my paper a very little, went to sleep. then i got up at six to go to work at seven and work till three. got home. K time to get to work. or so you'd think. nah. i fuck around for two hours. now its five. NOW i work. and talk. and watch tv. im doing everything i can to not write this paper. so now its 9 pm sunday night. and i realize im truly, TRULY fucked. so im up till midnight, (completely fucking exhausted. four hours sleep, eight hours work, plus when i got off work i talked to that girl on the phone for an hour. and i hate the phone. i was wrecked) so i went to bed, slept in, stayed home from school to write this paper. so all day passes by and ive written how much? only one more page. great. now my paper is late. so there i was around 5pm halloween still writing my paper. work @ 7pm this time. sooooo.. when its time to go to work, i have about 3 pages written. fucking wonderful. i go to work.

then i get home. 11pm. the first time all weekend ive buckled down to work when i should have. and the paper was already late. so there i am working feverishly till about an hour ago.

is my paper done? FUCK NO LOL

and here i am. posting on Tl net. calculus book in lap still working on my term paper due yesterday and hoping to god i can finish it for tomorrow.

wish me luck.

i dont know if this is irony, but its damn close. writing a post on procrastination while procrastinating. wonderful thing.
