Ok, so.. what to do if you HAVE to do something but you totallt lack the motivation of doing it?
Like, say, a ten page essay, which is supposed to be done tomorrow, but you haven't even started
so you're kind of panicking and STILL you can't find the f-ing motivation?

Help, please, cus I'm seriously dying here o.o
 
Step one....breathe.....

Then get your notes and sit down and start....once you actually start it it will fall into place...you just have to force yourself to begin...
 
Like Venray said. Sooner started, sooner done. And if you need motivation then ......if you don't start now we will buy a ticket for Robace to visit you and sing outside your door, follow you through town, and introduce himself to your friends and family as your sex therapist. You don't want that to happen, do you?
 
And..kered and i will join him dressed in assless chaps and cowboy hats....
 
I have the same issue with it comes to having to sit still through something. Honestly...just suck it up and do it. It will be done in no time. Then its over, you can have fun again, and no more worries with it.

It goes against my way of thinking, but if it motivates Sanna then I'll freakin' do it and I'll even do it sober.

If this paper is due tomorrow then you have no choice but to do it at some point today.
 
Thanks guys, you're amazing :roseglasses:
I'm done with the front page and the introduction, so.. I hope I'll get it done by tomorrow. The footnotes is the worst part O.O

Robace as a sex therapist.. it would be worth it just to see you guys!

Pawz, thanks for the advice. I know it's soon going to be over, but I want my fun nao! lawl.

1. DON'T do it and face the consequence.

2. Half-ass it.

3. Get drunk and pissed off until you put some sort of passion into it and do it, even if it takes all night (and hope it's good).

4. Pay someone else (smarter) to do it.

No, no, there's another choice: take a failing or reduced grade for it. It might not be the best choice, but it's there.

My advice is to make a list of small single tasks that need to be completed to finish the paper. It migtht be something like "Find references. Read Reference 1. Read Reference 2. Write 250 words. Write 250 more words."

The idea is to break the big job up into tiny bites and do a little at a time.

Here's another procrastination hack: (10+2)x5

That means

1) Pick a job you're putting off.
2) Pick something fun that you can do a little at a time (web browsing, reading, playing solitaire).
3) Get a timer of any sort.
4) Do FOCUSED work on your job for 10 minutes.
5) Play for 2 minutes.
6) Repeat 5 times and you'll have put in almost an hour of work on your job.
 
Heh, you sound like me. My general philosophy on papers seems to generally end up waiting til the last minute which tends to concentrate my mind. I don't really recomend that though. It's generally worked for me, but it adds undue stress. At this point though, it seems like the option you've gone with more or less by default.

Anyway, good luck. I should probably now be studying for my finals this week instead of posting.
