The Procrastination Hurdle...

[MrsComboCurlz, ASN, BSN, RN]

Good Day Guyz...just looking for ah little positive insight for the Cure of Prograstination!

I'm a Pre-Nursing student, wife and mom of two children...ages 10 and 4. I've completed all pre req's. Currently studying to take the TEAS exam on Feb 12th and the NLN on Apr 4th. I have been trying to buckle down here and there , even thru my pre-req stage I gotten grades of A+ & B's...wasn't easy of course but it seems like as I get further and further approaching the Nursing Program...I feel MENTAL BLOCK! Especially at home where there's the T.V, Cell Phone, Food and of course my Compfy Bed because "I'm always feeling drained and tired". My husband is very supportive and we get the kids off to bed at a decent time every night 8pm to be exact. I have a fear of failing, So what is my EXCUSE??? Please if you can help, let me know what are your avoiding procrastination tactics, what are your studying habits, how do YOU stay focused through everyday life chaos? I've read other women on here who are in my situation get through it...those success stories keep us going. Thanx for reading...

I am not married nor do I have children. I am just an independent student with a full time job. However, I do know the feeling of procrastination and lack of motivation. I prefer to go to class and study between 8am and 4pm but unfortunately my work schedule is 830-5pm. So it's really a struggle to go to class at 6pm and then try to study well into the night. I find that as long as I find something interesting about what I am doing I could do it all night long. Last night I studied from 6pm-10pm and then woke up this morning and studied from 7am-745 before work. Finding the interest I think is the most important thing.
