first off all, let me just start off by asking do yall procrastinate? because i am like the biggest procrastinator ever. A lot of time, i just can't help doing it. For instance, i would put hold on an english project that due the next morning and waste all my free time on ATRL? anybody got advice on how to stop procrastinate because i really need to do well in school this year, and the only way to achieve it is to stop procrastinate!

I never do it anymore literally, for some reason I love to go ahead and get whatever the task may be out of my way so I can do what I choose. You just have to stop and tell yourself "This HAS to be done and now."

Let me yell you, I am a big procrastinator when it comes to school work. But I take AP classes now, so that is a no no. First thing to do is realize that you have a problem, and want to solve it. Find out what is causing you to procrastinate, in your case, that would be ATRL. If you have a computer in your room, try not to do homework in there because that wil only increase your chances of procrastination. I usually would have to go to a library, because I have computers and TVs al over my house which is hard not to turn on. Remind yourself that the faster you get through your work, the more free time you have WITHOUT work after, this works for me. Lastly, I sometimes pace myself by working for a half an hour, play for like 10 minutes, then work again. But be warned, do not let yourself go over your limit because it will only lead to more procrastination. Try to get in a study group with your friends, you can knockout homework together faster and will enjoy yourself and your work more. I hope this helps for you because it certainly does for me

As for me, I procrastinate quite often, but I've noticed that when there's not much time left to complete the task, I completely dive into the project and do it whatever it takes. And I usually do it well. Its a dangerous strategy to have, but so far it has worked for me. But of course I try to learn doing things ahead.

I had started procrastinating a lot in the beginning and middle of my college years. I would start my homework assignments, then pause to watch TV and one of the worst things in the world... surf the net. It would also affect my study habits. I started slipping in grades and I realized I had to stop letting things affect my studies. I can't really give you an exact way of avoiding procrastination, but I will say this: think about what is more at stake, your grades or your free time you can have at ANY TIME. This is what I did, and I've stopped procrastinating... a bit. Hopefully I don't start up again because this my final semester of school and I can't mess up!!!

that's exactly how i am. i always try to study for the test the night before the test or write a paper within hours, and the result always come out worse than i expect.

I stay at the university library until it closes and i do not bring my computer to the campus.

Sign off ATRL for a start.

I'm the exact opposite of a procrastinator. In fact, sometimes I don't give myself enough of a break because I'm always trying to get everything done in one go. For example, I had a huge English assignment to do this summer, which I started right after my last final exam. It was worth it though to watch everyone suffering now trying to get it done this week because they put it off.

Really, the key is to just get in the habit of doing it. Learn to recognize WHEN you are procrastinating and just fight the temptation. Figure out when/where you procrastinate most and learn to avoid the things that distract you. You can train yourself to be more disciplined, you just need patience and support. And it will pay off in the end when you don't have to face the stress of fighting the clock just to complete something.

I have to stop procrastinating too
