If I were a deadly sin I'd be sloth

Mon Dec 1, 2008, 11:11 PM
SOOO, just to let off some steam, I'm really REALLY lazy when it comes to school (which is a community college for me). Which is something I'm really frustrated about because now it's really affecting me. I've had it ever since... elementary school.

I like to put things off last minute even though I know fully well that I'm never going to be able to make it in time. I calculate the time to drive to school and walk to class and wait for the exact time to leave. Therefore if it takes 20 minutes to get to class I will leave 20 minutes before class starts. I guess that's better than most people, but the reluctancy doesn't change and the stress level rises. The worst one is putting off school work. I have very bad study habits and have a tough time committing myself to sitting down and reading/work. I keep telling myself to change but I keep choosing get distracted, for a good 12 years.

The answer is pretty obvious to me, but really I'm having a tough time applying it. CREATE A SCHEDULE AND FOLLOW IT.

So I'm throwing it out there to anyone who wants to respond to it.What do you guys think? How do you guys struggle to succeed in whatever school you got right now.

I have the same problem as you man...

I mean I have a list of things to do and I get around to it because I HAVE TO but they're really last minute too.

Like in my Gmail I have a list of things to do and its a good reminder because I always have my Gmail on. And a list of goals and personal wants in my life. It helps me stay motivated.

You just gotta suck up and do it.

Personally, for me... I think life's short and I wanna live my life trying to fulfill my dreams. But we can talk about that later over coffee bean over winter break on why I have that perspective. College showed me a lot of things. It's too much to type.

But everyone's lazy and its just a matter of self-discipline and what you want in life I think. The people who are successful in life are people who worked really hard for what they want, they don't lazy around. So perhaps find your personal calling I guess =P

Cheezy I know but I'm a cheezy guy XP

(I should be studying... but here I am hahaha)

Think good things. Say good things. Do good things.

look at phdcomics.com.

procrastination brings out the best in you. it tells you what you really like to be doing instead. the phdcomics dude, jorge cham, draws comics to procrastinate from his phd work. it took him many years to get his phd because he procrastinates a lot, but now the result of his procrastination (the comics) earn him more money than his phd could.

go procrastination!

i believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.

I have the same thing... im so lazy with school work and never did anything to the last minute and had to do it in big blocks. One thing I found work was to figure out what you need to do and break down your day: So if you have an essay or something you have to do, aim to do a paragraph a day or something small. Breaking it down makes it more manageable and you dont have to worry about massive piles of work. But come up with something that works best for you!

Good luck!

Say what? Cure for procrastination?

...but seriously, you just need to up your self-discipline and block off any distractions.
When I know that I NEED to study or get something done, I lock myself in a study room at school with no computer, DS, food, drawing stuff, etc, and stay there until I get my shit done. Try it out!

Home never works though, because there's distractions EVERYWHERE. Find a place where there's nothing and study there :>

Yeah that's what I keep hearing. Sounds great but still hard to pull off. Guess it's a matter of willpower.

:iconbanditzjing:
Yeaaaa... that's probably the best solution for me. Gonna try that. If I don't put it off first... lol.
