Q: 18/f.
University student.
Am working on a project that's due tomorrow (in 8.5 hours, actually). Right now, it's 1:30am. This project was assigned over a week ago and I just .. agh, got distracted, etc.
Does anyone have any tips for me so I won't procrastinate? I already don't get enough sleep during the week (5 hours max), and it looks like tonight's another all nighter. So what should I do?
Please don't dare say the words "time management"... Because obviously, I need help managing my time and I don't know how to. That's why I'm asking this question.
And share personal experiences and improvements afterwards please...I'll be working on the project and checking here once in the while...
Vei.

Okay. The answer below I think was rather rude, because you clearly are having trouble not procrastinating. Yes its true I'm a pretty good procrastinator! But I do know how not to procrastinate. I only procrastinate when I'm just lazy. I know you say don't say time management. But thats really what you are supposed to do, manage your time. I'll show you how:
Usually when I get home from school I go to my computer. but in the morning, I stick post-it notes all over my screen and write "homework" on it. If the homework isn't due the next day, I spend an hour tops on it. Maybe 20 minutes tops on each assignment. For projects an hour tops each day. The post-its just help me remember not to get on the computer quite yet and do my homework. Since I've been doing this I've been getting better grades for more effort in my schoolwork! Think, when you are able to balance out how much work you do on something a day, don't you think it'd get a far better grade then one when you pull an all nighter? Of course you have no choice but to do so now, but this is for future reference. Sorry, I'm really in a rush right now so its not much a specific answer. I'd be more than happy to go into detail if you'd like, just ask me or send it to my inbox. Hope it helped at least a little.
PS. When you get things done before hand you feel so much better, like a big weight is lifted off your shoulder :)
