Hello Journal *waves*

[fathomlessspite]

So journal, I have discovered that I suck at doing anything within a set timeframe, I can make lists, I can have a deadline that I'm absolutely not allowed to go over (be it self made or a uni coursework-type-deadline) and I still can't motivate myself to get it done.

Case in point, instead of finishing the next part of my h/p fic, I've been shopping, lots (bought many things I cant afford, including a new phone, some red and some bright blue jeans and a gorgeous coat which has actually got me wishing for colder weather...)

So has anyone got any tips on how they sit down and get things done?? I just dont seem to have the concentration span to do anything for more than half an hour at a time....

Help me people!

Also, new friends who have added me recently *waves*, it's nice to make your acquaintance, please leave me comments to intro yourself and help me with my procrastinating ways!!!  :)


Love to all,
fathomless

Hello fellow procrastinator! Believe me I know exactly what you're going through. Last semester i had to write a 10page essay (single spaced might i add) in 7 hours, and i hadnt even done any research yet :S ... it was humiliating of course, but we all love those precious moments don't we ( where you grovel at your professors feet begging for more time.)?
Anywho,i found a pretty good way to not fall into that trap again, just surround yourself with nagging close friends, tell them to keep nagging you to go write your papers. make sure they know that no matter what you say or do, they must not allow you to go out with them to pubs/clubs/bars/disneyland unless you finish your damned essay! Oh and it's best if you go to a library or sit with someone who is also working on 'homework'... I actually sat with my six-year-old cousin while she did her homework (coloring ducks if u must know) so yes, that also helps.... :D oh and btw, great fanfic ;)
Good LUCK!!

I don't even do much research, I usually have in my head how an essay wants to go and look in books for the odd bit i can reference.... its not really an A grade way of doing coursework...

I've not yet had to grovel for an extension, I did run to uni one day to get there in time for deadline (I live off campus, a 40min walk away...)

I wish I could get nagging close friends! Most of mine come over and drag me out when I'm working saying I can do it when i get in, or finish it tomorrow! Lol. You're so lucky!

I could sit with my sister and so work I guess... she's doing A levels so she has plenty of courseowrk... more than me really... That might be a good plan! Cheers! :) Although, if it was colouring in I may have been tempted to help out with that...

And thank you for comment bout my fanfic :)
