How can I break my habit of procrasinating?

I have everything going on right now in school: exams in a couple weeks, projects, homework.. so much stuff! And I get so stressed out, but at the same time I NEVER feel like getting it done. I always plan on doing my homework as soon as I get home from the bus, but when I walk in the door, all I want to do is just put my stuff down and do something else. Its like the atmosphere of my house and the smell and everything.. it all reminds me of not getting stuff done. I know its so strange. can someone help me?

Answer #1

I suggest you go to the local library, the atmosphere there will help you concentrate, and there’s no distractions. you’ll notice you flying through your homework. you might find other books interresting as well..

Answer #2

LOL, I also havea procrastinating problem and a ten page research paper due next week. I think you should like that guy said, see if you can go to the library. um…stay after skool. listen to music when you need to concentrate on your stuff.

Answer #3

LMAO..I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM…=(…I HAVE A RESEARCH PAPER DUE IN LESS THEN A WEEK…ITS SUPPOSE IT BE 11 PGS..I HAVENT STARTED YET! ERRR…

Answer #4

hey its okay to be stressed , but only when its useful. any way heres what I think you should do ,

also this is what you can do,to remove all problems from your life;

1–Never let your inner mental peace be disturbed by external circumstances- “Param Pujya Sant Shri Asaramji Bapu”.

2– hey first of all stop sweating, I can understand your problem. here is what I think you should do;

–chant ‘hari om’(hari as in HURRY & om as in HOME without the ‘H’) do this repetedly & a point will come where you will feel like just close your eyes & do that .At this point increase the number of O in om like HARI OOOM & then HARI OOOM & so on.when you chant this VEDIC MANTRA then remain silent (no thinking!,fidgeting,moving,etc) for an amount of time taken to chant this one mantra.this looks very very simple but its effects are very very very large (even ALBERT EINSTEIN would not had imagine it !!!).

this is called ‘CHUP SADHANA’ & I learned it from ‘param pujya ASARAMJI bapu’.—>”www.asharam.org”

also read JEEVAN RASAYAN a book from —“http://hariombooks.googlepages.com/Elixir_of_life.htm”

      tihs will help remove all weakness from you,believe me millions have obtained benefits from it ,literally.

note—women during their periods are not supposed to chant OM .

ill tell you tomarrow

Answer #6

I have that problem too - and going to the library usually helps.

What also helps is making myself turn off my laptop, Ipod, or TV and put it in my room or out of sight so I can’t use it when I study

I also give myself rewards for getting something done when I plan on finish it. So if I have an assignment to read and I want to do it that night - when I finish I get to eat a snack I like or watch a TV show I like or I might build up my rewards so I can reward myself with something larger like a new shirt.

Answer #7

I tell myself this saying, “Don’t put off for tomorrow, what I can do today”.
