Hi everyone! So, I've been having some ridiculously bad problems with procrastinating homework lately. This is coming from a girl with a 4.0, so it's not really about difficulty or whatever. I just get distracted, or lose motivation. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has found any ways to cope with this? What works/doesn't work for you all? Thanks!

Hello fellow procrastinator! You sound just like me! I have a 4.0 gpa as well, but I can be the worst procrastinator ever at times. I've found a couple things that help me though, so I shall share them with you!

One thing that helps me is to grab a note card or something, and write down everything that needs to be done for homework for the day. It's like it helps me put everything into perspective and to realize just how much needs to be done so that I want to go ahead and tackle it all right away. And then I plan a reward for myself for getting it all done. It's good to have a goal and something to look forward to if you can get it all done within a certain amount of time. You could reward yourself by watching a movie after it's all done, for example, or by going somewhere fun.

Also, another thing that might help you is to set deadlines for assignments for yourself before they are actually due so that you will be ahead of the game. So if it's due on Sunday, give yourself the deadline of Friday.

I hope you find some ways that help you with the procrastination issues. Good luck! :)

I had the same problem last semester. I just broke down my work into small portions. I write a list of what assignments I have and then do one take a break and then do another. I find that if you take small breaks in between you become less distracted.

i find that if possible, try doing your homework somewhere quiet and where the atmosphere/environment is STUDY: basically try going to if possible a local university library and based upon personal experience, i find that its so quiet and the fact that there are others studying that really gets you going, and you can cut the distractions found at home like tv, background noise, and other stuff!

give yourself a reward for doing certain things. like eat a cookie, or do a little of whatever you like every time you do an hour of work. works for me!
