Indeed, your environment plays a great role in how you would feel motivated to work so it’s a lot better to work in a very convenient place. I came across a video that relates to your blog post. It’s a great video from Marie Forleo about effective ways on how to overcome procrastination. It’s a great video to watch. http://marieforleo.com/2011/02/overcome-procrastination/

It’s easy to discover what you’ve been procrastinating. Have a look at your To Do list. What items have been there the longest?

Do them now, schedule a time to do them, or decide that they no longer need to be on the list.

Thanks Great article,

Blogs on procrastination are always popular and everyone always has a lot to say and I sometimes wonder if this is procrastination itself.

Procrastination is a tricky little monster and one of it’s tricks is to get us talking about it. Agree? You don’t have too.

Sometimes we get so hung up on the cause that we forget that the solution is somewhat simple and generic… Beginning.

Thanks so much for this in depth analysis though. I wrote a seven sentence article on this here http://sevensentences.com/2011/06/02/how-to-stop-procrastinating-2/

Thanks

One idea worth considering is to exploit procrastination on one task to get several other tasks done. So if I’m procrastinating strongly on writing an essay that’s due in a month, use that inertia to dabble in other things and get those done. Now, you might wonder what’ll happen to the essay then; will it ever get done? The trick is to start procrastinating early enough on a task, use that to do other stuff, then hopefully replace the exploited task with another i.e. constantly cycle tasks to exploit.

It’s midnight and I really don’t want to write an entire speech about illegal immigration that I’m supposed to be first to present tomorrow. I like the commentary idea though. Usually I’ll procrastinate little things that will take 20 minutes or an hour. If I filmed myself, then I would probably be more focused on doing what I’m supposed to on camera.

I have ADD, OCD, ODD (oppositional defiance disorder). Right now, I’m procrastinating on writing a retarded five paragraph paper on what we learned in all of my block classes. We have to do this EVERY weekend, unless the week is cut short by snow days or something. Anyways, I find it very hard to even begin writing it. It’s like this with all of my homework. Sometimes I don’t even start ’til 2 in the morning. This is bad, because I have track after school and that makes me really tired. When I get home, I crash and usually don’t start homework until a lot later. I wish I could try to give myself rewards or remove distractions, but 1. I just don’t want to do things that don’t interest me, 2. I know I can reward myself even when not doing anything, and 3. I have no way to remove distractions, other than going to church or a restaurant or something. I somehow keep my grades all A-’s or better, but I’ve noticed my performance has been slightly degrading lately.
