I am marking this off. When I was in highschool, I needed help with this. I came to college and I was getting better. I am marking it off because I personally do not think I need help with it anymore. Yes, I do waste time on youtube still, but I don’t study one day before the test anymore. I’m getting better at doing my laundry (I would not do my laundry or leave my clothes in the room, etc.). I’m just getting better. Much better. Life feels so much less chaotic. My room isn’t messy anymore. I just don’t feel like I need a support group for this anymore. Thankyou guys! And to the people on my procrastination team, good luck!! I am still on the list if anyone needs help.

So, I’m awake 2 hours before class starts to get things done. I removed my laundry from the laundry room (trust, this is a BIG achievement. Hehe) and put away all my art supplies. I planned my day a little. It feels really good to get up a little early and put things in order so I don’t have to worry about them later. I’ll tell you how the rest of this productive day goes. :)
I have regressed. Now, that I am in summer school, I have been studying, but I haven’t been organizing my room or unpacking or moving or anything I don’t want to to, but should be doing. And even with the studying… I am allowing myself to get distracted by frivolous things again. I will try super hard today to do the opposite
You guys, I like the idea of a group. Look at this article I was reading. I want one in real life, but internet will do:

I bought two backpacks. One has all the things for the day’s classes. The other has EVERYTHING ELSE. My books stay in my car. At 5 o’clock (school ends at 2:30, so I have time to goof off and have whatever fun) I go to my parent’s office where there is a BIG table for me, its QUIET, and I am ALONE. I have EVERYTHING I NEED at hand. And amazingly, I have not procrastinated one single bit ever since I started doing this.
It works because I am about 2 or 3 miles away from my home. My home that has cable television (normal TV in the office), computer games (computers at the office, but no games to play), food or radio (yes, I listen to radio lol).
I would be making really good grades, but I found procrastination is not my only problem. Now I need to work on being ORGANIZED. Once I fix that, I’ve got it made.
The only thing is, its getting boring for me. I’ve brought colors and whatnots to brighten it up. And I’ve started going to fun websites & messageboards on the computers (they aren’t fun enough to make me stop working). I would like to start working with a study group.
