I sleep, at the most, 2 hours a day

<p>I use an extension on my Google Chrome browser called Morphine, and it’s wonderful in preventing me from going on my addictive social networking sites when I’m supposed to be doing homework. I always end up researching other things, though (for ex. my sleeping habits).</p>

<p>My parents are putting me into an online public high school in hopes of me having more time and getting more sleep. I’m afraid that my procrastination might still bring me down though. -sigh-</p>

<p>Online high school? That sounds terrible.</p>

<p>I don’t know if it’s terrible, but it does sound interesting? I love your username, by the way! I love TFIOS!</p>

<p>Well I’ve never done it so I guess I can’t say anything. Best of luck with it though! Hope you get a little more sleep! </p>

<p>Thanks, I do too! :slight_smile: Can’t wait for the movie!</p>

<p>I procrastinate on everything, and on some level it seems like not procrastinating isn’t even an option. For example, I have a paper due next week, and I know I probably won’t start it until the night before because I feel like I can only think of sentences if I’m under stress. I don’t consider myself one of those people who works best under pressure either…I get awful test anxiety. It’s just that procrastinating has become an inherent part of the process I go through when I’m doing assignments, and it sucks. It’s addictive, and unfortunately it’s not something you can just one day decide to stop. </p>

<p>It helps me to keep a calendar and a list of things that need to be done…I still procrastinate, but at least I have some idea of how much procrastinating I can get away with. I feel a great sense of accomplishment whenever I can cross something off the list. :)</p>

<p>I think it helps to do your homework somewhere other than home. I like to go to the library with my laptop and tell myself I have to work until the battery dies, and then I can go home. There aren’t quite as many distractions.</p>

<p>I’d recommend not taking too many breaks. With me, ten-minute breaks usually turn into three more hours of procrastinating. </p>

<p>I wouldn’t recommend online school if you’re inclined to procrastinate. I tried to take two online classes…I got several extensions and had them open for 13 months, but there was no one to motivate me (there’s no one to hold my hand in my college classes either, but just seeing the professor IRL and going to lectures several times a week is enough to motivate me to turn stuff in) and no one to commiserate with, so I had to drop them because I only ever completed like two of the assignments. It bothered me that some of the online course materials hadn’t been updated for years, and when I had a question on an assignment they usually took a long time to get back to me.</p>

<p>You go insane and die. I like to believe that crazy dreams literally keep us from going insane in real life.</p>
