I have that problem to a small degree. Ive just finished all my ucas stuff but I keep following all the application/uni threads avidly!!

Ermm, you'll realise whats more important eventually, and will then start to do your work. Of course it helps if the computer is turned off, and youre in silence.

I was procrastinating all yesterday and this morning on an essay on Humanism, but now that I've actually forced myself to sit down and do it, it's actually not that bad. It's just a matter of self control and desire to achieve. :smile:

All of those self-help guides are crap. Once a procrastinator, always a procrastinator I say... I've been trying to become organised for years, but to no avail. I never learn from my mistakes, and continue to leave things until the last minute/it's too late.

I'm really bad a procrastinator (join the procrastinating society btw!) I think it helps if you actually get the work out in front of you, and open it and leave it there to torment you. Do easy stuff first, do something you can do, such as opening the book at the chapter you're supposed to study and then skim read it, pick up your pen and everything should fall into place.


(Having said that, I'm the worst procrastinator in the world).

with the exception of me


join this society! we *might* be able to help :p:
