Black Op Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 When it comes to big school projects, I have an evil problem with procrastination. Due to this, I often start them near the last minute or just outright never do them. Therefore, I started this thread to get advice on how I and others can defeat this habit.

King Tutankhamun Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 I also have that problem sometimes too. It seems I always do my science right when it is assigned, and other things like long tern english I wait until the last day.If it interests me, then I will probally get it done early.

akya Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 Write it down...numerous times...Have your friends tell you continuously you have to do the homework...Do the homework with your friends...When you think about it, do it immediatly...Reserve a time period to work...Do the things you like less first, then the things you like best...Promise yourself something (like a chocolate bar) you will have when you finish your work...I can give all those suggestions...but I still have the problem...dam**t anyway...try what I said... good grades are important for your future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElfTheHunter Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 Me too, though it rarely affects my grade, as I always get it done. But I guess if I worked earlier I wouldn't have to be as worried near the end Though procrastination might have helped in Story writting contest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chichigrande Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 If you get to choose what you do the report on do it on something your interseted in. If you can't pick then just do it the first chance you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 Start with the big guys first!Break them up into chunks!Post in the homework forum to get help!Outsource as much as possible (yes, I am honest here )Start with the first chunk on the day the task was assigned.Good luck!

Tonto_Icy_Tripod Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 I think your last tip was a great one Tim I think it's easier to continue on something you've already started than starting fresh, so just getting something, maybe just a paragraph or a few questions depending on what you're doing, will probably help a lot. I'll have to start doing that myself I can't really give you any tips myself though, since I just suck at getting things done early... I'm usually up until 3am writing essays and such, which isn't exactly the best way to do it I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeOptimist Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 I try hard not to procrastinate, and usually succeed at not waiting till the last second. I agree about doing the things you like less first, and then doing the things you really like, since it gives you something to look forward to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
