I had a hugeee issue with procrastinating as well. About no advice would actually help me. Until one day instead of procrastinating I would do all my assignments as soon as possible. This fixed my issue and I actually ended up feeling a sense of dread because I was so used to procrastinating and feeling like there was something I needed to do. I very quickly realized maybe the reason I was procrastinating wasn't because I am lazy, but because I want to feel productive like I always have something I need to do, but it ends up making me feel lazy lol. It's a really really hard cycle to break, put on some heavy rock music and just bulldoze it. I brute forced my way through my work even if it looked half assed or wasn't finished I would turn it in. It worked, my grades got a million times better and my mental state completely changed. I stopped self loathing and adopted a get shit done mentality. I can't say I did this over night, it takes a lot of self control to break the habit of procrastinating. I still find myself going, I can do that later and in some cases I can that doesn't mean I should tho. I think something that helped me a lot was the "just do it" nike thing. Never thought it would actually help but it does. |

isn't it ironic how i'm using this time to make a vent post instead of actually working on those assignments? |

Also when you feel that urge to get it done, do it right then and there. Otherwise you will lose that feeling and then end up giving up or forgetting about it.

Yeah, I understand the feeling is extremely suffocating! I hope you get through this. I just remembered I think something that helped me the most. It was thinking about the fact that I wasn't just affecting my future when I ruined my grades. I was making my family worry and get stressed about if I could make it in the world. So I lead with the mentality of doing this to make them proud.
