How can I defeat the curse that is procrastination?

[Glass_House]

Everyone does it and it can ruin our day. Procrastination. No matter what I do I can't stop procrastinating.. it seems I am always waiting until the very last minute to do any assignments, studying etc. This post is another form of procrastination... Any hints, tips and/or tricks to help avoid or control procrastination would be greatly appreciated...

I know how you feel. I've never gotten around to fixing my problem with it, and that in itself is proof.

Grow a backbone?

Procrastinate tomorrow...

But yes, it really is quite annoying =/

 

[Samurai Goomba]

Just tell yourself you will stop procrastinating tomorrow. That always works.

*evil cackling*

Meh I have the same problem, although once I'm started on something its fine.

Just getting the motivation to start can feel like climbing a mountain.

Procrastination is a royal pain. I always find just flicking the wireless off on the laptop works wonders Except if you need it for work, then you're screwed...

I Suppose you could start by getting off the Escapist.

Turn on some music, use an ipod or something. Plan your study times, allowing for break periods that you can relax in.

Oh, and don't use your computer to study, unless you really, really, need it.

A true procrastinator puts off procrastinating for as long as he possibly can.

Trumped.

Procrastination makes every day better, right up to the moment when you realise you're totally fucked.

Truly there's only one thing you can do... Give up sleep. You don't need it. Take the time where you'd normally be sleeping to do your homework/work. Yes, yes. Sound like a nice, healthy plan..

Just start it. The first step is always the hardest.
