You make it seem like its impossible not to procrastinate. If someone wants to do well badly enough and is in the right mindset, then they will not procrastinate. When you procrastinate, you are bored of studies, tired of studying or don't recognise the importance of studying. If you wanted to get the marks really badly, those two would never occur.I'm a first year uni student... as I type this, I'm playing music, eating corn chips, talking with my siblings - all the while, my stats notes lay undisturbed - my exams are in just over a week. Procrastination is normal, you can't study constantly.
I'll tell you what I told the Year 12's of 2012. Doing something is better than nothing. When you get home from work at 10PM on a Thursday night, memorise just one formula for maths, or the meaning of a single BOS key word. It leaves you in so much better standing than if you had just gone to bed.
It's November. There are very few people that will have started studying as of yet. And you'll soon find that in Year 12, it will be hard to just sit down and study. In my HSC year, I didn't start studying until at least June, and then only lightly. Its just the nature of Year 12. Pacing yourself is key.
What are your marks like out of curiosity? Pulling all-nighters for assignments is terrible both physically and emotionally, although I admittedly did that for 1-2 of my assignments this year... Scored well thoughIf you're like me, procrastination is good thing. Liek seriously. Cram in mornings for tests and pull all-nighters for assignments. Worked for me, hasn't worked for anyone else in my grade though...
Haha nice!Marks? Hold on while I trudge through my stacks of paper. Top mark 90% for a seven page transistor and semiconductor assignment that was also a presentation on the morning for which I had to make a model and explain stuff. I was up 36 hours straight, starting at 9pm, finishing 7.30am working non-stop. No coffee. Admittedly I was on a strange high for the whole presentation, but still fun. Emotionally, it's pretty hard to keep it together between the hours of 3-6am. Painful, exciting and I don't regret one minute of it.
And I've done this for every assignment over the last two years. (Although, I always wake up at 5am on English speech days to write and remember). That speech was like 90% and (equal) top mark out of 110 people.
Wow thanks, I could really use this too assist me in this horrid phase of assignmentsThis is useful for anyone suffering extreme procrastination, I tried it out today and must say it worked quite well.
