<p>I started school today, and so far, I absolutely despise all of my classes and I've been assigned a crapload of homework. Something inside of me just doesn't want to do it, and the procrastination habit that I've been trying to kick has already started to relapse. I want to stop this, really before it starts, but don't really have any will to get my work done, even though I do. Hah. I'm just a walking contradiction. </p>
<p>Anyway, the whole 'Just Do It' logic worked for about five minutes. Anyone have any words of wisdom to get me on the ball?</p>
<p>I put our straight-A’s list on my favorites. I am beginning to use my planner religously, and I try to limit my procrastination to 15-20 mins. So far the only thing I have procrastinated on is an APUSH test. Yea, Never Again.</p>
<p>Give yourself little treats for each hour of work done. For example, if I do all my work in AP World in a certain amount of time (a ridiculous amount work I’ll have you know), I’ll let myself go on Facebook (and CC) for an hour. If I do all my science work, I’ll let myself watch a little TV. If I do some more work, I’ll do the daily sudoku. Yeah, it wastes more time, but it’s better than flipping back and forth between websites and hw and getting nothing done at all. If I know I’ll get a hour’s worth of deserved fun for an hour and half’s work, it’s better than feeling guilty for 3 hours because I was pretending to do something and really doing nothing. Works for me, and I used to be a HUGE procrastinator.</p>
