So, how do you it? Right now, I am using the good old 'To Do' list, which is semi-successful - I still postpone the most important things but at the end of the day, I at least got some the minor ones done (my place is never so clean as some days before a test). Looking forward to your answers. | ||

get rid of distractions, whatever is preventing you from doing what you should. Force yourself out of the house and into a nice good place for studying/whatever if you have to. | ||

Realizing the consequences of your actions will motivate you out of anything, or keep a memento of your past failures caused by procrastination around, like a bad test on top of your desk. | ||

I guess it is semi-procrastination because I don't work on them right away but I tend to work on them earlier than I usually would (last day before deadline). | ||

I definitely belong to the latter category and I want to know how I can get into the first one. I know there are a lot of very dedicated people here on tl.net who are successful in broodwar, poker, sports and academics among other things - activities, where you need to be strongminded and -willed to do your daily amount of work in order to reach your goals. So, how do you it? Right now, I am using the good old 'To Do' list, which is semi-successful - I still postpone the most important things but at the end of the day, I at least got some the minor ones done (my place is never so clean as some days before a test). Looking forward to your answers. I have this problem pretty badly myself, so any advice from me is really the blind trying to lead the blind, but FWIW, making a schedule in addition to a To-Do list sometimes helps me. As long as you're sticking to the schedule, you can't push things off. You should schedule a bit more time for things than you think you'll need though, because if you fall behind, it's very easy to just say "screw it" and that is that. There are also concentration-aiding drugs (Ritalin, Adderall, and the like) that you might try, if you haven't. They won't get you working on their own, but they can help keep you focused once you begin to work. | ||

Just a simple illustration, my house only has one pot to boil water and 3 tumblers to hold water, 2 medium sized ones that are in the refridgerator and one huge one that's warm water. I don't really use cups but I used a bottle instead. Whenever I refill my bottle, the amount of water in the tumbler decreases by alot since my bottle is pretty big(I drink warm water). Based on nature, I usually just fill and walk back up to my room. There has always been this tinge to go boil water and I usually only boil water when the tumbler is empty but I've recently cultivated a habit of going against that nature in me to just walk back upstairs. You have to find the little things in your life that makes you procrastinate and then force yourself to work against it. As you go on, you find that it becomes easier and easier and you will soon have little trouble with getting over procrastination in that particular thing.
