I'm doing it again

I am procrastinating.. yet again. It seems only inevitable that I find something, anything to do, in order to have some excuse not to finish my homework. I'm doing better than I did last week though. As some of you may have commented on my other discussion about procrastinating. I actually read the chapters I needed to read yesterday. (2-7 minus 6). Reading I can do. It just seems that when it comes to writing my papers, I just lose all focus. I have my document up, and this time, instead of having to be over 500 words (which may not seem like much, but really is), I just need about a 300-500 word essay. It's a Literature course. I have this couse, along with Psychology and Accounting. And I must say, Accounting is taking up most of my time. Debits and credits, balances, and figuring out which goes where. It's not that easy. I have about 100 words down, but I'm just at a loss of words for what else to write. So I'm posting on mylot, telling you of my troubles. Or not so much my troubles, just what I don't really feel like doing but I have to. Did I mention I have Jury duty again first thing in the morning? I keep telling myself I'm not going to wait until the last minute to do things, and still end up doing the same thing everytime. Do you do this? A lot?

I win in procrastinating. I should really be studing my math for ged test and I will not do it. I could past all the rest of the test except for that part. Gee. Good luck on your homework.

I hate math, so I would have to put a lot of extra effort into it. Or a lot of effort into putting formulas in my graphing calculator.. It's pretty nifty to know how to do that for geometry and algebra 2.

I am having having problems with what you mention, formulas.. I do not like 3/4 of math. I do well with some problems that the ged test will have but I am really in a panic.

Yes, I am procrastinating on getting things cleaned up around here. It's late and I should be asleep, but I am not. P.S. Good luck with the accounting. I studied that too. It's been years. Be well. Pleasant posting.

I can only seem to clean at night. This way, no one comes behind me and messes up once I'm done. Thanks.. I need all the luck I can get. It's going good so far, but then again, we're only in Chapter 2. Hope you are well! And slept well!

well, i do it sometimes... but most of the time, i'm not... i don't like to procrastinate and prefer to finish doing the job that i have to do as soon as possible... it gives me peace of mind and i feel more peaceful as it feels like a burden had been taken out from my shoulder when i had finished my job... there are times when i am lazy and not in the mood... then i have to force myself really hard not to procrastinate... take care and have a nice day...

Both of them take up soo much time, so it really hard to stay focus on one cause you are worried about ther other one! So like yourself I am on Mylot tpying away and watching a movie. When I should to typing out my paper on prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and their structures! I have all the infomation I need, but I don't feel like doing it!! Eh, I will get it done tomorrow...I hope!! So I totally get what you are saying!! (: Good luck!!

I am actually enjoying accounting.. well somewhat. Wish I could just get the hang of figuring out the debit and credit issue. And well, maybe reading ALL of the directions before I get started. My son tried to eat my workbook today.. It's in bad shape now.. I like all my stuff neat, and now I just can't focus because the book is crumpled! Good luck with your biology and accounting. I would never take those two in the same semester. I am taking three classes over the summer, so I have my hands full myself. Take naps during the day.. and stay up all night!! Used to work for me!! Now.. if I don't sleep at night, my son will drive me crazy during the day. lol.

I am a huge procrastinator. Since I work best at night, it can get bad because I will wait til really late to start on a project and will often pull all-nighters to meet the deadlines. If I do try to start early on something, I will usually let myself get sidetracked by other things. It's worse when I'm working on the computer, like writing a report, because I will surf the internet and (recently) go on myLot instead of working on my project. This can eat up and waste a lot of good working time. It's a bad habit that I really need to break!

I am magnificent when it comes to late night homework. I don't know why, but I just can't settle in when it comes to doing work during the day. I guess because everyone is up and moving around. I can't even seem to clean during the day. I hate having constant access to the internet. But, I love it at the same time. It is a bad habit.. I guess we'll either have to break the habit, or the habit is going to break us, so to speak. Being sleep deprived is never fun.

Guess you procrastinate, because that's not your favourite thing to do? I'll delay those tasks I detest; it's always the next day, until it's almost 1 day or worse, a few hours before deadline.
