How to cure the laziness disease?

[Beachbum]

I need some help to stop procrastinating and to do my work. It's my senior year and with all the college apps and irritating parents; I have delaying it. Any tips to survive through school, and all this confusing college info.

Any tips to fight procrastination? I'm doing it right now, instead of homework haha.

Same here, except its 2 AM on the east coast, haha.

I didn't do jack my senior year but still came out on top. First off, everyone who says, "college wanna see _________ (insert BS) " hasn't sat on a college admission board, and probably hasn't applied for a school in 30 years. Secondly, do what you feel like and it might drop your GPA, but then it will put you in a school you're more prepared for. I'm breezin through school now because I was really prepared coming out of HS.

And what do you wanna do later in life?

[scars91]

tell your mother you arent going to college. she wont stop talking.than that will motivate you to do your work to shut her up.

Haha or as my boss once said, just have your computer up to the marines recruiting site, and say, "mom they give me a gun!"

She'll be happy about anything.

Aw man I feel for ya! I could never settle down and study. I always had a spotless room at uni and was a pro at Tony Hawk on the ps1!

..........I've actually got no tips for you, but when you finally get a job it'll feel really weird for the first few months when you get home and have no studying to do, it's like guilt for no reason!

Stop stressing you know what you have to do.. so just chill a bit. How manny years of schooling ?? and people wonder why we burn out. Take a breather for a bit and you'll be supprised how focused you'll be when you get back into it, after taking a break. Your not a little kid anymore tell your parents to back off a bit for just a little bit ( as much as parents can)
or realy freak em out and tell em your joining the peace corps for 2 years
to help rebuild Iraq and leave a bunch of peace corps litature around and have them mail some shizz to you.

[scars1991]

anyways lately i just been telling my mom that i will just sell drugs.

[oldgrom]

Or try to do what I tried to do and fail, say fleshin' it and go to New Zealand.

Do some "crappy" job that involves being in the beautiful countryside everyday with minimal responsibility and the ability to surf or ski whenever. Who cares if it's manual labor.

But the parents knocked that one down

Now I'm stuck in this fleshin' cycle that I won't get out of till I retire and will never get to do the things that will make me happy while I'm young. Or that's the way it's looking right now, I need to take charge.

[twerked]

not that i condone the use of illegally obtained medications but there's always adderal.

really though. i could never get myself to do my work. unless it was the night before an assignment was due. at 2 am. and i hadn't started my paper. and it's supposed to be 10 pages long. and it's due at 10 am. and i haven't even researched anything yet. then i got moving

you'll have to get motivation from something. it could be from love, dream or something else.

Smoke a bunch of weed....you might be even lazier, but you won't care.


Anything worth while is gonna be hard work....buckle down and get er dun!!

Then surf your ass off!!

think of your goal - tis the only cure for procrasination imo. get it done and then give yourself a treat for completing it on your own imposed target. schedule your time on a 3 day basis to work around the surf forecasts if you must and dont forget to schedule 'effective downtime' - thats proper relaxation to you and me..NOT procrasination which isnt really relaxing.

as for the parent thing - at least they take an interest in your life and offer you guidance, be thankful for that - it is done purely out of love.
To get them off your back - sit down and listen to what they have to say, ensure you consider their opinions - to get power in the relationship you have to prove you're worthy of it! then explain that because they raised you so well (compliment them!) you are well equipped to be able to make your own decisions and accept and work through whatever consequences life may throw at you. reassure them that you do listen and their opinion will always be of value to you.

If that fails - slam some doors and turn your music up really loud

Go to JC and smoke pot for the next 2 years.
