Procrastination

What's up Mayberry Lounge, I wanted to ask everyone's opinion on procrastination. I am a hardcore procrastinator and wanted to know if anyone else has this problem and what they do to combat it. I really procrastinate on everything, but it causes me the most stress when I put off studying in school till the last minute. I seriously start studying for most of my tests around midnight the night before. I have still been able to get very good grades at the JC here, but I am transferring in the fall and know I need to knock that shit off. Anyone have any advice ??

Do things you feel passionate about. If you do, your procrastination should be gone.

If there are things you don't feel passionate about, think of them as just being obstacles you have to get rid of to get back to the good stuff. You can also think of all the good things that will happen once you finish them. Just get your fire going!

Surround yourself with people who don't procrastinate. Join study groups where you have to keep up and contribute. Do your homework with other people and let them read what you're doing. It sounds like a lot of hand holding but it works.

Just get off your fucking ass.

I hate when people ask stupid questions like that.

"What can I do to start doing??"

DO IT!!!!!

Procrastination is like masturbation, at first it feels good but in the end you're fucking yourself

Procrastination got me through college. I always did my best work under pressure.
