<p>I really really suck at time management. At school I'll be like "okay so I have this and this and this to do, I'll do it once I get home, then I'll do this homework assignment by 6 .." and so on and so forth. </p>
<p>Then, i'll get home, tell myself I'll just take little nap, and then bam its 9 PM and i've done nothing. And then I'll go get something to eat and play around on the internet and won't get started until like 11. then i'll finish like a quarter of the assignments I really wanted to do, and I'll tell myself, "OK tomorrow I'm really gonna get all my stuff done on time" but then the cycle will repeat all over again. It's making me sick; like i really want to do my assignments/projects and all that stuff on time, but its so hard to actually sit down and do it.</p>
<p>anybody else have this problem? what should I do?</p>
<p>I try to go to a nearby cafe to do my homework right after school. All I take are my necessary notebooks, folders, notes, textbooks, etc., but NO LAPTOP. After I’m finished, I go home and do my homework that requires the internet and stuff. I did that today, and I finished everything at around 6.</p>
<p>I don’t know about you, but whenever I’m in a public place doing homework, I feel like I always have to be productive… because it would be really awkward to just stare out into space for an hour.</p>
<p>Do you have a mac? If so, download “Self Control”. It’s a fancy little app that blocks you from accessing certain websites that you determine. You can set the timer for increments of 15 minutes up to a day. This app is literally the only way I get school work done. When finals come around, I will activate it for one day, so I will literally not be able to use the internet for anything other than school work for a day.</p>
<p>I do the exact same thing as bigblimp. When I get off work I’m right next to this starbucks so I usually go there for a few hours without my laptop. I always do internet homework last because then I can’t get distracted beforehand, and at that I’m so close to being done I’m just happy to get it over with.</p>
<p>thanks you guys for all your help ! it sound like a great idea, i do have a mac, so i will download self control. and i can’t believe i haven’t thought of saving internet homework till last … i’ll try that tomorrow</p>
<p>yeah i function best at night unfortunately. its like my body refuses to do any work until 11 PM, midnight. but i downloaded that self control app and I’m about to say bye bye to CC until 10 :)</p>
<p>Used to have this problem, now before I leave school I just write a quick to-do list of all my homework. It’s so satisfying to cross them off one-by-one.</p>
