How to stop procrastinating
It made me
Feel great!
 "Took an incredibly long time and a lot of effort, but in the end it was worth everything that I put into it."
How I did it: I set it as the main goal. Even if I didn't feel like doing something, I pushed myself to do it until it became habit. I taught myself to go headfirst into whatever comes at me, regardless of what it may be. Lessons & tips: Just push yourself to do what needs to be done. That is exactly what I did and look where it got me! Resources: Willpower.

I always aim to empty it out as soon as possible which means I have to address all emails in it. My phone to do list captures all the things I remember I need to do during the day and I try to tick everything off at the end of the day or within a few days. Some things I still procra… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Time management is a real tricky thing to get down. I advise the following tips, in short:Get a stopwatch, one big diary (ie, Moleskine), and one notepad. Write down everything you want to do in life. Everything. Then pick things you want to do now and write them down on the notepad every day, one sheet a day. Write down new things on the back of that sheet of paper and store them on an online journal to map your progress.Set your stopwat… Read how I did it…

How I did it: This year, I had to put up with the worst thing in the world: paperwork. Lots and lots and lots of it. And the deadlines were the worst thing in the world. I almost missed them twice! D: This is how I found out the to-do list system. Make a to-do list, and put yourself the goal of crossing out everything you can in one day. This is the best way to stop being a procrastinator :3 Read how I did it…

How I did it: Let's see. I had to push myself of course. My father had a stroke six months ago, that's probably what pushed me to my limit. Before I was a lazy unmotivated bum. But the fact that he almost died made me realize I had to get my act together. The faster I got things done, the easier I felt lifted and relaxed, the easier the rest of the week went. But how did I do it? Easy, I was motivated like I never was. My father used to do everything f… Read how I did it…

This quote is definitely “me:”
Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today? – Mary Manin Morrissey

Mmm… not doing so good on this one. I’ve got senioritis, and it’s the end of the semester. I should be working hardest at this point, considering I’m wanting to apply to law school for the fall, and the last thirty hours are crucial. However, I have done pretty good all semester (it hasn’t been a hard one), and I’m just now getting lazy. Well, I’m putting off doing some work as we speak, so I guess I should get back to work!

I should have driven my motorcycle to the bike garage this afternoon, to store it for the winter. We’ve had exceptionally warm weather here, but I see that it’s going to come to an end next week. I hope I didn’t wait too long to do this.
