erm.. yeah.


so here's how one of my typical school days go.

wake up. (still wanna go back to sleep.)
get dressed and maybe eat a small amount of breakfast.
go to school.
1st/2nd period.
3rd/4th period.
lunch. (foood! or go to club meetings.)
5th/6th period.
go home.

from there on, when i get home, i have the option of either doing my work first, then play; or play then do homework later. or i can sleep then wake up later and play/do homework.

i almost NEVER do the first choice. so i end up putting off my assignments till last-minute. or sleeping, then playing, then homeworking like at 10 pm.

with the computer in front of me, or other stuff i find lying around, i can get distracted from what i should be doing (in my case, homework) within an instant.


to me, going on the computer, or playing games, or talking to my friends, or sleeping, bleh doing anything BESIDES homework, is an addiction.

so how can i help myself break the habit of procrastination?

i realize that sooner or later i will have to go to college (next year) and start working a lot harder. however i'm so used to procrastination that i can't get used to the idea of "working before play" at all.

(by the way. if this piece of info can help: i still manage to get good grades in all my classes.. such as A's and B's. )


please reply.

haha
i have been trying that all my life... <i'm not old!!>
but here's some help...
jsut write down what you wanna do for today..
i dont have to be a complex schedule, jsut write like...
finish HW, reaise my lvl in the game, etc...
it doesnt really matter which one, coz if i set a certain rules, i will be exhausted by the end of the day, try to follow each schedule.. so just write a simple note, read and choose which one u wanna do first.. works for me...

Well, one method you could use is doing your homework somewhere else. For example, at the school library or somewhere outside if the weather permits. It can be very relaxing to do your work at a park (not a kiddy park--unless there aren't any kids) or pretty much anywhere outdoors where there aren't any events being held.

Another method is it sounds like you need more sleep. Try getting atleast 8 hours+ of sleep during a nights rest. If you're still drowsy, drink coffee or some sort of drink with caffeine in it, possibly 1 or 2 cups throughout the day usually does good for me. (Personally I can wake up in an instant and not be drowsy at all, and then eating some breakfast usually ties the knot of me being awake for the rest of the day.)

Study habbits are important in College, so it's better to learn good ones now, rather than during college. College is a lot of work, so be prepared.
