Forgot to mention mw3
Ill just try and refrain from buying mw3 and bf3 until after my exams. I'll think of them as prizes for trying my best throughout the year

I'm kinda in luck here seeing that the only game i want to purchase in the next year or two doesn't come out till early next year

No I didn't forget to add MW3 I just chose not to list it, but that discussion is for another time

But to return to procrastination, staying at school a bit later after my last class, ipod in, sit down in the library and just rewrite all my notes is the most productive for me. I've just got to learn to get over those few minutes of distractions and then the revision isn't too hard.

I hereby lay claim to this trophy:



Allow me to prove my worth: I am leaving the country tomorrow for a whole year, and as of yet there is absolutely nothing packed in my suitcase.

I challenge anyone who believes they can top my credentials to come forward and stake their claim.

For some reason I have a sudden determination kicking in when I start to realize I'm in trouble, which generally means procrastination isn't a huge problem (or at least I think) for me

This happens to me too. It's kinda funny because I literally have 100% motivation when this happens.

11 Causes and Cures for Procrastination

Here are 11 common causes of procrastination and corresponding tips to help you find the pace you’re looking for:

* Complicated-task anxiety: Break big, complicated tasks into smaller pieces. Complete a starter task, no matter how small.

* Fear of imperfection: Accept that perfection is rarely attainable and seldom necessary. You’re a person, not a robot. Use the 80/20 rule whenever appropriate.

* Indecision: Determine your decision-making criteria, then set a deadline for your decision. Ask a friend to hold you accountable.

* Priority confusion: Distinguish obligations from options. What are you really responsible for? List and prioritize tasks.

* Boredom from minutiae: Automate simple repetitive tasks whenever possible.

* Lack of focus: Minimize distractions. Check e-mail and voicemail only twice per day instead of every 5 minutes. Find a quiet room where you can concentrate. Resist the urge to keep taking breaks.

* Poor organizational skills: Clean your work area. Put tools and utensils in their proper place so you can find them when you need them.

* Laziness: Remind yourself of the consequences of procrastination. Resist the urge to be a couch potato. Try to complete several small tasks to provide a feeling of accomplishment. Reward yourself.

* Lack of energy: Maintain a regular sleep routine. Eat healthy. Exercise regularly. Do not skip breakfast.

* Early morning lag: Before you stop working each day, make a list of the tasks you want to begin first thing the following morning so you can hit the ground running the next day.

* Post-lunch fatigue: Before leaving for lunch, make a list of the things you plan to do when you get back so you can pick up where you left off. Avoid eating a heavy lunch.
