stop procrastinating

I can say that this has been DONE! I’m still a little bad about proctrastinating (like with laundry) but I’m nothing like I was before. Now things are getting done (and not at the last minute!). My life is so much easier now.

Get it done – ASAP. :)

Try to focus your thoughts on completing activities, finishing tasks. Instead of focusing on ‘stop procrastinating’.

Also, a list of tasks will do wonders.

I get really angry at myself everytime I start doing this. Every little thing I have to do, automatically, I start trying to adjust it to a “next time…”. Grrr…
I’m moving to another country in two weeks, therefore, things…I mean, a lot of things should be done and here I am, doing nothing! As if things will be done for me or be magically solved!
I don’t know if I’m lazy, have some sort of ADD …
It worries me. I can’t continue doing that, especially after I move out.
I’m really tired of being like this so from this day on I’ll do whatever I can to stop procrastinating!!!

Sorry for the outburst!

So I’m back in the swing of things. Chances are I won’t be procrastinating any more because of my hectic schedule and 4 hours in the lab everyday this week. Although it’s still hard to get up in the morning and force myself to attend class. Been a little lonely these days. Well, all I can do is carry it over my shoulder with a smile.

reading self-help books on the subject might help me overcome it

i will start tomarow! :)

I guess this is an eternal struggle ;)

I couldn’t find my laundry card for the machines in the building so naturally as a professional procrastinator I simply put it off…

I still can’t find my card but I did manage to get off my ass and go to the laundry mat two blocks over…

I still have linens…blankets and pillows to do but at least I managed to get the clothes and towels done…

Hopefully I’ll find my card soon so I can do the rest here in the building….

I filled a water bottle with two beer to have at the laundry mat…Doesn’t sound too smart I know but laundryt day always entails having a drink or three for me…Doesn’t feel like such a bore that way… ;)

I believe the title speaks for itself in all aspects of my life.

I feel like I’ve procrastinated on my life… putting off finding out what I want to do.

PROCRASTINATORS UNITE TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!

My first time from stopping from procrastinating – I got up, had a shower, MOISTURIZED, wash my face with face wash, and then had lunch. ALL IN ONE GO WITHOUT THINKING OF GOING ON FACEBOOK OR WRITING IN MY DIARY OR GETTING DISTRACTED.
This is probably really ‘easy or not challenging’, but I actually stopped myself from thinking about the distractions. oh yes :D

I need to start right now. Or else I’m just going to procrastinate for ever.

Procrastinating has been on my to-do list ever since many many many years back. Somehow or rather it never gets done, and I chunk my tasks till the last minute and rush it. In the end, the work done is not good, I don’t feel good.

With this goal on my list, I will be committed to STOP PROCRASTINATING!

Everyday I write down my to-do lists and write down appointments right away so I don’t forget. If something in my to-do list doesn’t get done that day, I move it over to the next day. Sometimes I keep moving something over and over again to the point I feel bad about it and then I go and do it! I still procrastinate, but this is helping me to get better.

I’M 59 YRS. OLD AND I STILL DO THIS A LOT. I HATE THAT I DO THIS.

Yep, I need to start doing this…tomorrow. Haha!

1. get my driver’s license THEORY

2. read 1 book of my unread books list (just 100p to go until I finish The Corrections) > done

3. send a postcard to thesockmonster

4. print out my thesis

5. take a few things to the thrift store

I’m the world’s biggest procrastinor!!!

goals I DEFINITELY need to be able to reach by the end of next week because I have absolutely NOTHING to do this week..

1. get my driver’s license THEORY (yes, just the theory..)
2. read 1 book of my unread books list (just 100p to go until I finish The Corrections)
3. send a postcard to thesockmonster like I promised I would do 2 months ago or so..
4. print out my thesis so I can let other people read it (some people have been asking about it for months now..). and of course I need a copy for myself as well.
5. take a few things to the thrift store

also, I need to work on some “longterm goals” like
- stop picking my skin
- be a healthier vegan
- find a job

College is a lot less work than high school. It’s easier not to procrastinate if you’re not so overwhelmed all the time. Just get through it and take a deep breath when you’re done.

The easiest way to get an assignment done:
Go somewhere else that’s away from your friends and away from your house/dorm/apartment. The library is the best place, especially if the assignment is online, because you can either use their computers or their free wi-fi. Tell yourself that you can’t leave until you finish your assignment. This has helped me take an assignment that would normally take me four hours and finish it in only one or two. It’s much easier not to get distracted if you’re not suddenly compelled to clean your room or get a snack, things you’d normally do at home. Physically separate yourself from those distractions, and you will also be able to mentally separate yourself from the distractions on the internet as well. You are at the library (or wherever you choose) to do one thing and one thing only.

High time I did this!

Aaaaargh!

other things I’m procrastinating about..
(finish) cleaning out my inbox

only 3 mails left.. one I need to make a decision about.
1 I just need to read
and the last one is a biggy.. because its sort a reminder to some website related changes I need to make for a client they asked me about months ago.. but its just so much work it’s daunting to even thing about..

hmm… procrastinating big time again!

Wow.. After procrastinating on sending out letters for a job interview I suddenly find myself sending out two of them! Within half an hour..
And all of this past 8 pm.. a time at which I normally NEVER do this kind of stuff because my concentration is very low in the evening and I’m usually scared to death to make horrible mistakes which I’m to tired to even notice..

so what changed?.. well.. I’d been procrastinating on doing this..and suddenly I realized.. It’s better to do this and make all kind of mistakes…(PERHAPS not getting a job interview) than not to do this at all (which will make ‘not getting the job an ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY)

so my lightbulb moment.. is that I usually procrastinate for two reasons.. fear (fear of failing…doing something wrong if I decide to do it).. and unable to decide (still have to answer some mails with questions in them..but I just can’t decide on the answers!!!) (once again fear..only this time in disguise.. fear of deciding the wrong thing!). wow..
I really need to learn how to be less ‘fearful’ of making mistakes!!
I think I need to turn this into a 43things goal!!
(finishing that goal will take me one huge step closer to finishing this one!!!!!)

Any tips for me?

It has always and will continue to cause havic and guilt in my daily life and my ability to have confidence in setting and completing my long term goals. I have become stagnic and have not only put my goals on the back burner – I have moved them into the refrigerator.

I have talked myself into accepting myself and to focus on the positive things I did everyday – however over the past year I have lost focus and now have isolated myself to only my home, my husband and my children, and have lost all the confidence I spent years showing and helping other people try and have. Who am I? This is just one more thing that I procrastinate on dealing with.

ZOMG PRORITISE.. list of 15 things ull do a week!!

Prioritize- Write all your work down on a list. Once you finish assignments, cross them off. Put stars by or highlight the assignments that are important or are due the soonest.

Focus- Turn off any distractions like the computer. Close the door so you won’t hear any outside sounds. Getting a glass of water helps, too.

Take breaks- Every 20-30 minutes, take a 5-10 minute break. Then, continue your work.

Open a window- If it’s not too cold, some fresh air can help you focus. If it’s cold, turn on a fan if you’d like.

Organize- Keep your supplies organized and within reach. You don’t want to waste time searching for your stuff.

I’m meant to be studying (doing 3rd year, civil engineering) and instead i’m reading 43things and facebooking. I need help to stop procrastinating. I’ve tried lists and timetable but i just put everything off. Any advice?
But for now – to turn off the computer and finish my assignment!!!

often times i just fear that answering immediately requires me more time that I have available but instead of trying to be perfect, I’m trying an interative approach. Little by little, a conversation can start until you’re there where both parties are satisfied with the outcome.
I also don’t always have to be funny, so often times if I’m not in a good mood, i procrastinate replying to peoples messages. I gonna try stop doing this and replying always, immediately.

My procrastination addiction still has a hold on my life. It has become a debilitating force in my life but I remain committed to overcome this illness.

Goal = Stop Procrastinating
Action Plan = think less do MORE
