What stops you from procrastinating?

• Shirayuki wrote on 2010-04-14 05:17
  Well, I've been procrastinating for the past 4 hours and have only gotten 2 paragraphs done on my paper...:oops:
  
  SO THE QUESTION IS: What stops you from procrastinating, or what keeps you on track?

  I usually step away from my computer and put down my ipod.
  
  Being near any of the two makes me wanna IM friends and dance to my music. And I hate that.
  
  When I get into a book or studying, it's hard to pull away. It's just hard getting into it.
  
  Best of luck!

  Nothing.
  
  Really, I need to go get help or something. I sleep on average three hours every night because of my procrastination. It's terrible.
  
  I don't know how high your procrastination level is, but if you're losing sleep from this, just remember that YOU'LL DIE EARLIER THAN EVERYONE ELSE IF YOU KEEP DOING THIS [SIZE="1"]or something[/SIZE].
  
  Ahem. Yeah. I have to completely pull away from the computer if I want to get anything done. I should probably go do that now so I can get some sleep tonight ._.

  It takes will power.
  
  Turning off your computer, and staying away from things that may distract you also helps.

  I procrastinate a lot too. :l
  Sometimes it helps when I remind myself that the sooner I'm done, the faster I can get back to doing what I want to.

  Procrastinating is my prime.

  I've been working on this for about a year on iScribble now...
  
  292 days to be exact.
  
  
  
  
  Sometimes, it takes patience to get stuffs done. Slow and steady, I guess.

  I think his problem is that he needs to finish some essay/project/homework and needs to finish it by a set date but gets into the habit of procrastinating. I can't really give ya any advice since I usually start working on my stuff the moment it's assigned and don't stop til I'm either finished or tired.

  Doesn't quite work when your paper is due in 2 days D: Everything depends on the scenario or the stupidity of me xD...I've gotten to my fourth page though, so I'm making progress ;D

  I'm the exact opposite. I usually do stuff as late as possible, and still go by in my classes. I'm still amazed at my grades when all I do is the least possible at the last possible moment.

  , indeed!
  
  I agree with the majority: turning off your computer, cellphone, and all other electronics (unless your iPod or some other music player helps you focus). Unfortunately, going "afk" has never worked for me.

  Setting aside a place for studying is great! It shouldn't be your bed or a location with too much distraction. [/FONT]
