friends help: Here’s the deal. - Help.com

I lied… that’s not all.

That’s not all, and I have something more important and disturbing then procrastination- I’m afraid that I can’t change myself.

16 years. Is that too late to try to be born again?

God, I’m scared that if I try to change I’ll revert back to my old ways the second I stop trying as hard as I possibly can.

You need to set yourself boundaries hon, and tell yourself you wont turn that computer on until your school work is done. Technology is wonderful in its place, but school time isn’t the time to be texting your friends is it. Ask yourself if texting more important or is my future more important. My son loves his cell phone and last week was caught texting in class, he had to keep doing it until he was caught. Well now he’s lost the cell phone altogether, he was warned a few times now its too late. Lesson learned eh ?
You Adult life and future should be what you kids put top of your lists, the cell phone and computer will always be there. If you want to spend your life flipping burgers, and cleaning Toilets go right ahead. I think you have to think long and hard, you have only one life, this is where what you do now effects your future greatly. The choice is yours to make, make it wisely. :-)

Your fear of not being able to change is simple unfounded. You change every day on a physical level, you can change your mind in an instant if you wish… any personal “change” is clearly possible. It’s not too late to change.

Procrastination is a pretty common problem. I like what Sasha says about thinking about your future. And she’s right. We all need to set a goal for ourselves, something inspiring to pull us forward; a dream. If we are not moving forward then we are moving backward. An inspiring dream and goal will help to keep you moving forward. Get out that daily planner you have and start to use it! If you don’t have a daily planner go buy one and use it. If you spend time every day (either at the beginning of the day, or the end of the day) to plan out the following day and WRITE it down, the chances are much much better that you will stick with a plan. The secret is WRITE IT DOWN! Make a To Do list that works with your goals, and every day tasks.

Regarding your sense of humor. I understand that. I used to have a very cynical sense of humor that could slice pretty deep. One day I realized I hurt someone that actually meant the world to me. I went to apologize and found her crying. If you realize you are hurting people you should stop… and I think you are caring enough to do just that. You know what it’s like to be called a whale behind your back. Whenever you feel like you’ve told a joke at someone else’s expense, then you make a vow to go and apologize to them. The more you find yourself apologizing, the less and less you tell those kind of jokes.

I’d like you to view these two flash sessions this first one is new and it’s about time management… and the second one is about motivation.
