Mandiloquence Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I just deactivated my facebook account. I REALLY hope my love of my grades will keep me from re-activating it. Now maybe I won't procrastinate? Haha, let's see. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agneisse Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I switch on my computer and open both Firefox and the Word file of the paper I'm writing. I force myself to write a paragraph, then reward myself with a few minutes of web-surfing, and then write another paragraph, and surf some more. It's not really anti-procrastination, but I find myself much more motivated to work. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenshiforever Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Usually, I plan out my homework scheduele, but it doesn't really work. I find myself always waiting for the last minute before my assignment is due to do it. Like I'm procastinating from my WL2 right now. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerbianGangster Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Anti-procrastination methods? I just do everything the night before. I know if its due the next day, that I'm forced to finish it. I think its about self-discipline to not procrastinate. You could bribe yourself with candy or something when you finish your work. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Shiver Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I can never trick my brain into systematically avoiding procrastination. I'm too self-aware, and too defiant to any coercion. What works for me (sometimes) is making myself enjoy the work I'm doing, but then I tend to work way too slowly. Other times, I just tell myself to "do it". When my brain feels like cooperating, this can work. But that's a rarity. That's why the night before was invented. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'm doing a "night before" right now.. Exam today.. It's 4am.. I think I'll just ace it and then sleep happy Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcantstopthebeat Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 I hate having the feeling of knowing I have a really big assignment or test to do, so if I have time, I will usually at least make a start on it or I'll try to get most of it done so I can get it over and done with! I tried sticking with that sort of work ethic but it's hard when I have a lot of work to do and I also don't want to lose my social life! And sometimes I will just feel like doing absolutely no homework.I try to do homework once I get home and whenever I get time to lessen the stress later on. Like sometimes I'll write up study notes if I have a bit of time and know I will have no time to do it later because of other assignments/tests.Also I find that thinking about all the things I can do after I finish my work, the relief I'll get from finishing the work and knowing I won't have to think about doing it anymore gives me determination to do my work. It's a good incentive Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatgirl Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Usually when you're trying not to procrastinate it has a boomerang effect, so I try not to think about it and concentrate on the homework I have to do... the Internet usually ruins my plans, though. I think I might ditch the cable. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
auron Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Anti-procrastination - hmmz. I guess if I work in front of my folks, it helps cause it gets me away from the computer and makes sure I actually do the work (cause if I don't, they'll make me).But that's to the extreme =P.AURON Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if I work in front of my folks, it helps cause it gets me away from the computer and makes sure I actually do the work (cause if I don't, they'll make me).But that's to the extreme =P.AURONYeah, the computer with internet access is in quite a busy area of the house, which a lot of the time stops me from procrastinating because my parents can see what I'm doing, and I get it done faster because there isn't much peace to be had. Any typing without internet I can do on a little beat-up laptop, in the quiet of my room. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

yodude888 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 My friend made me change her facebook and MSN passwords for her, and initially pleaded me not to tell her what i'd changed them to.Now she calls me and screams at me to "stop being such a prick" and just tell her I'm not giving in... now if only I had the determination to do the same thing!

circusmind Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Procrastination is so a disease. Everyone needs vaccines....and I think IB students are the most notorious. =)The best method I've come across: turning the computer off. Completely. Not just the monitor. I think many will agree with me.I also try to combat procrastination with schedules...which always turn out to be very tentative and subject to change.
