Anyone else procrastinate?

Okay, this is from the biggest procrastinator of them all.

Here's a sure fire way to cure your problem.

Turn productivity into something more attractive than avoidance presently is.

The best way I know how is to use a timer, set it for an hour (or whatever) then give yourself a treat when you finish the hour. After ten minutes, do it again.

You'll be surprised how it will also help if you set productivity goals in addition to the timing ones--finish a certain number of pages, questions, complete a practice test, whatever.

But start with time. And remember, it's a process--no punishment for not being perfect the first time!

Good luck!

YES!!! I am taking Nutrition by correspondence right now and have about.... 15 days to do an assignment and write the final! Ahhh!

The best advice I've gotten is set a deadline for yourself 2 months earlier than the course deadline.... Or else book your exams when your course starts... that way you'll HAVE to get on doing your work!

Good luck!

In addition to the above advice I also plot out my study plan on my calendar. Every day I have written what I must complete that day.
