Stop help: Procrastination - Help.com

This is a common problem. It’s hard to completely change your frame of mind without actually suffering a failure, which would kick you into action. I find shouting at myself in the mirror sometimes helps….

Set a false deadline for yourself and make yourself believe it…

You waisting your time. Stop procrastinating and get on with your work.

You HAVE to solve this for yourself. I was a huge procrastinator in high school too, but I always met deadlines. After college I found that homeworke etc. was really meant for you to LEARN. You have to want to learn the information in front of you. You really need a way to connect to it — it is kind of about learning strategies and how you learn best… What are you trying to accomplish? What are your interests? Are you depressed? Only asking because depression side tracks you in a big way.

Sorry, but what is science revision? There could very well be a way to put art and textiles into it. And… it sounds like you may very well know yourself. You do need to explore way/careers that will encompass art and textiles and there are many more ways than your high school guidance counselors will tell you about. Where to look can be a bit of a question and finding the right place should be an adventure. Don’t give up you are on the right track.

just left you a shout,I am a procrastinator too.Real bad.what i’ve learned is that it stops me from having fun,friends,and it hurts me and others.Don’t feel guilty or ? just try again.It helps to journal,make little goals each day and do the hardest first.

I am battling the procrastination bug too. My solution is to (surprisingly) do more. If I have been busy all day and I perceive my future as being busy- I’m less likely to think “ok, I have so long to do it- I can put it off a little longer”

Thank you for that ,it opened my eyes.

well, it took a very long time of self conditioning myself to get out of bing a procrastinator. constant financial problems or having kids will snap you out of it. i have just simply convinved myself that the outcome is just too severe for me to have procrastination being an everyday vice.
i would also set false alarms, but also personal rewarding. i would reward myself by treating myself to extra reading or sketching time by finishing my work or cleaning or laundry whatever i was procrastinating on before it was even necessary. it created a whole new way of life for me. really. i’m usually the first to arrive for parties now… that’s cool.

good luck.. and if all else fails “you’ve always got tommorrow” .. lol!
