Procrastination help: You know you’re becoming a really good procrastinator when… - Help.com

same with me :(

sounds like your stuck more than anything else yeah?

I’m a procastanator too,

Hell Im the prince at procastination, the lord of late, the winner of wait, the master of not on time!…

oky sorry, I know I pushed it a little, but my point is, theres one big diffrence between me and you, I know that when you have no motivation, it dosent mean give up and become suicidal, it means you find your ambition, it means you keepon pushing, it means you actually DO whatever it is you need to do.

but to each is own, soyou do you my friend, but try to be happy everything changes, nobodys sad forver, things will turn around if you wait around :)

haha yeah…

I’m a complete procrastinator as well.
I usually do my homework the day it’s due in class if at all and I usually do big projects the night before. I never study because I am too lazy to.
I’ve never really found it to be a problem though. I mean I still have straight A’s.
Where I’m getting at is that I obviously can’t help you considering I have not found a way to get out of the situation myself.

Well I know its no brainer, but for me it was accepting that I didn’t have a way out and that Iwas just avoiding admitting that to myself. Once I had learnt to handle the angst, I could startmaking a plan

in the short term only - many things in life worth doing can’t be done at the last minute, and your missing the chance to learn the skills required to reach your potential
It’s a gift.

Yeah, I did. I agree with you. At the moment I am very unmotivated and that’s the main reason I am so lazy. I can’t find my way around it.

you are forced in school to do things that don’t engage with you? don’t challenge or inspire?

Not commonly. Hardly ever.

describe your perfect teacher ( mr miyagi from karate kid was mine)

Don’t rely on teachers or parents to set you worthy life goals or lessons. Is there anyone you admire who might be able to lead you in a worthy direction?

If anybody it would have to be my coaches. All of them really. They are the only ones that inspire me. Especially my Basketball coaches. They are incredible.

I hear you. I have a BB coach and he has great approaches to things.

One I like is that he splits into two groups and we do the drills. The team that does it slowest has to do five pushups afterwards. Its not punishment so much as penitance and motivation - friendly competition. And you do it as part of a group so its almost bonding. Everyones different and that mightn’t work for others.

One way I work on in my efforts as a teacher, is knowing how to do something someone else actaully wants to learn. It makes it a bunch easier.

Kid see’s you oing something they need to know in order to get what they really want, and they are the best pupil. And I am an attentive student when I’m learning from someone cool.

What would it take to motivate you?
What do you think is the cause of your procrastination?

I procrastinate when I’m not sure how to do something, or even the thing after. I leave one more thing I know how to do between me and stuckness.

I’m not sure what it would take to motivate me. I guess something I’m really into and can actually see myself doing and enjoying later in life. I don’t know.
I think a big cause of my procrastination is that I’m terribly lazy. I simply don’t care enough to do things….until crunch time that is.

crunch time - means you run on a fear based motivation system.

When have you been motivated in the past?

This guy thinks he has some ideas on it. What do you think of it? I thought he had some good ideas, but that he was missing a few important bits - don’t know what they are though :-( I’d be real interested in hearing what you thought of him.
