I’m fed up with feeling like I’m not in control of my life, and like things are just overwhelming and impossible, so I put them off, which obviously makes everything worse. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and one thing I’m going to do is make sure I write dates in my diary and take it with me all the time. Also I’ve tried writing to-do lists which I find slightly helpful. Another thing I’m gonna try is only work at one task at a time on the computer because it normally takes me forever to do stuff.

I’ve often seen that the most efficient people have clear in mind all that they have to accomplish during the day and they actually do it , whatever the circumstances. Also efficient people take immediate action, sometimes it’s useful to think twice before acting, but often it just slows you down and makes you postpone things.
I tend to think about everything over and over again instead of just acting, I waist time repeating in my mind past situations instead of focalizing my attention on the future…but the most absurd thing is that I tend to give priority to everything that is not urgent and then I inevitably find myself at the very last minute with the most urgent things still to do…

Im tired of leaving everything for the last minute. In school I am always backed up on assignments and you can already imagine what the rest of my life must be like. Life is already stressful enough and I really wish i could get my act together.

Note: 11 months ago
I tend to procrastinate more on tasks I have a ‘real’ choice for, or things I consider to never have to be done.. for example:
  • Homework I consider something that has to be done. I procrastinate the least on things I have to do, or that will have a definitive (real life impact) downside to not doing.
  • Games, however, (such as with my earlier entry, Halo 3) are things I can refuse to do and nothing bad will come of it.

I suppose it’s a bit of a way to “come into my own”, or go against the norm, because I’ve had to do things for so much of my life, and now I have so many opportunities to reject things I’m going a little overboard with it.

This is one of the biggest problems I have.

I procrastinate with everything.
I even procrastinate doing things I want to do, for instance, right now: I’m practicing sniping wyvrns on Halo 3, when I could be finishing campaign. D: LAME. I need a lot of help with this.
