procastionation station (I want to get off the train!!)
how come during the day like when im at home doing homework its so easy for me to procastinate and do other things but late at night is when i can easily concentrate even when i work on the computer without my mind wandering? i know it sounds crazy.. but its true. my mom hates it cause then i get less sleep.. so then for a couple weeks i tried to sleep early and get up early to see if it would help but i cant work in the morning either. weird huh? how can i fix this problem? procastination seems to be ruining my grades.. cause im a good student but then i end up handing things late.. this has been happening since 6th grade and im in 8th right now. im in need of HELP because i know this is the year i cant screw up sinc next year is high school and i need to be in all APs next year and have good reps from my teachers. cause then when i also did my work in the mornings that would set me off and then i would be late and miss the buss a lot.. my mom eventually got fed up with it and on 2 days within those 3 years she made me stay at home cause she didnt wanna drive me to school. that happened yesterday. im so retarded. i mean i had the whole weekend but im always like "i'll just do it later" and i always say it wont happen again but i keep falling into the same traps. like today i could have spent it like catching up with my homework and stuff.. but i ended up talking to my friends, listening to music, and writing a list of songs i'll put on my ipod when i get one this xmas (if i get straight A's!) if i even get one! and its easier to say my problems here than in real life cause i guess im kinda stubborn then to ask people i can see personally for help cause i dont wanna seem like.. i dont know.. well.. i think all you advicenators know what i mean. why its so easier to ask for advice to an unknown person. thanks if you can help me. it seriously means a lot. :)

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
i get what ure saying about when you can and cant concentrate cause thats how i was but it was just a quick phase i quickly got over.
it seems like ure just putting this off, if you want to be in AP classes, get straight A's and everything else you want it wont happen unless you buckle down and study or do you're homework or whatever ure teacher assigns, i knwo this sounds harsh but thats what you have to do, write down and plan out when you can do you're homework and leave some time to talk to ure friends, listen to music etc. and if you dont do ure hw or study ure not going to get straight a's which means you wont get ure ipod, you need to figure out ure priorties and get the straight.
i hope i helped, and i hope it wasnt too harsh.
g'luck.

well, your right! in high school ,you really cant procrastionate!
Step 1: keep a planner.
It may be a lot easier to think you can remember when everything is due, but when you get into high school, you have classes on monday, wednesday and fridays, but different ones on tuesdays and thursdays, and TRUST me, its incredibaly hard to remember everything. And spending the extra 5 seconds writing things down in a planner really isnt going to hurt you! =]
Step 2: time managment.
When you get homefrom school, open up that handy dandy planner, and know what is due when. Get a quick bit to eat, but start right away on your homework.
Step 3: Time limits.
Give yourself time limits. For instance, say im only going to work on my math for 45 min, and thats all the time you get. Plan it out, and know you NEED to get it done.
Its really a mind set thing. If you tell yourself, man i really wish i was watching t.v or making up my Christmas list, you will drop what your doing and do it. But if you tell yourself im going to do my homework, you will drop what your doing and do it. Catch my drift?
Keep telling yourself, i think i can, i think i can--the little engine that could--...
Hope this kinda helps sets a base down for ya!
