Oh, and

I'll be bumping this thread every 10 mins with useless tips to annoy the shit out of you

can't even count ten.. i get distracted..

Doing a research paper on a Native American tribe. I've literally just sat here for 2 hours not knowing where to begin

>>541608

I love how that guy talks about every student needing a personalized learning environment...some work better alone, etc, then retracts his statement and says every kid learns better in a group setting

>>541610
I always start with the table of contents to help give myself an overview.

I'll bite OP
I'll be reading chapters 5-7 of my introduction of microeconomics for my economics class

I'll report back with what I've read

I can start doing shit. IMPOSSIBLE to finish anything though.

>every 15-20 minutes go back to 4chan

how do you expect anyone to get anything done

Tip: re-enforcing knowledge.

there are 2 processes involved in learning. 1 storing the new memory, in long term storage. 2. forming the correct associations so you can recall the memory when you want to.

for number one i recommend repetition and helpful little rhymes or whatever works for you to memorize it.

Note (you have to keep focussed on it after you read it and keep repeating keywords and formulaes in your mind and they will eventually get transferred from the hippocampus to the cerebral hemispheres)

2. semantic association.

make sure that you think of the question which you will see in the test before you think of the word.

for example you are trying to learn vegetables.

don't just learn tomatoe but keep thinking in your head.

"what is round, red and is used in soup?" or whatever.

inb4 tomatoe is a fruit.

so recap.

1. memorize
2. form semantic associations.

You need some Cheesy Bullshit

>>541661
It's called self control
4chan isnt that bad of a place, and I'd never tell someone to just leave

But, it is quite addictive due to the instant entertainment, and thats why some anons need to figure out how to just stop, breathe, and get off periodically

You have to ween off this place

important exam tomorrow, 50 pages of shit to learn, currently on page 3.

gonna start working nao, thanks, op!

>>541635
well fuck me, I actually opened the book and am reading the introductions to the chapters. I'm reading about costs of production and its correlation with scarcity

I just don't want to face the reality.. what do?

I'll spend half an hour cleaning my room. Currently deep into the throes of it, just need to organize and put everything away.

>>541820
AAW SHIT, THAT BUMP BE OFF THE CHAIN!!!!

Tip: Once you are in front of a desk and won't be going anywhere for an hour then you can start taking measures to stay focused and interested, the best way to do this is to get organized, get the syllabus in front of you and structure everything you will be learning so that it's all in front of you and you know what you need to do. Next you need to connect with the subject you have decided to study, you need to understand completely the concepts behind it creating sentences in your head to explain each concept in a concise logical manner along with testing all the equations with text book questions to see if you can do it.

>>541820
start small, and work your way up to ACTUAL work

clean your room perhaps like this anon>>541836

>>541749
this guy.

I just wrote the important shit of the 3 pages ive already learnt into a word document. Now Im going through the new stuff. FML

46 pages to go, not sleeping till done, even if thread dies

>>541778
I just read through U-shaped average total cost and trying to wrap my mind around the factors of production, I feel like I should be trying to simplify the concepts into graphs but I'm not quite sure

IM CLEANING MY FUCKING HOUSE ARGH FUCK!

In 10 seconds, I am going to take care of my garbage, do the dishes, and finish that goddamn online chem test. I will report every step of the way. Fuck my procrastination

Working on assignments for tomorrows presentation. If only I could make up my mind on what to choose.

Procrastinating, again.

Should be working on presentation for tomorrow... instead skyrim...

>>541922
I Think I'll start with the cloths and shift through all of things I need to wash/hang up.

I'll get a trash bag shortly after and begin cleaning/scrubbing off the large liquor stain in my rug

BUMP

Tip: if the information was from a lesson, go over the lesson in your head a few times during the day. While eating, before going to sleep, etc.

If it's something you're reading from a textbook or whatever, concise the information down, and imagine as though you're teaching someone else. You make up all sorts of stuff to make it easier to understand and remember

>>541934
>>541969
presentationmind, what are they on?

I thought about getting skyrim, but I'm glad I didn't....I'd be in the same predicament hah

THINGS I NEED TO GET DONE..TODAY

- research article review
- ...holy shit, that's it? It feels like so much more because I'm definitely failing unless I get 90+ on every assignment from now on.

fuck this thread for reminding me how fucking stressed I am.

I spent quite a while this week looking up procrastination, there was an interesting thread on reddit where I got a ton of other interesting links, read up 2 different articles on beating procrastination, realized that I need to seriously change my fixed mindset, be less of a perfectionist with most things and need around a month to acquire/change these new habits...

>>542068
links?

I'd love to give them a read

>>541932
Fuck you procrastination, suck on my dick.
Took out the garbage and washed the dishes, easy once you actually start. Chemistry awaay....

>>541882
page 11/50. the last couple ones were only exercises. getting tired as fuuh already.

I have an eight page research paper due tomorrow morning. It was assigned two months ago, and I have one sentence typed. I need at least ten sources, three of which must be books. I am going to fail the class if I don't get this paper turned in. I have work tonight, but that's it. I've already consumed about 500mg of caffeine, with more planned if needed.

Here I go, /r9k/.

I'm probably fucked, actually, but can I have some support?

I'll tell you what i need to do later

>>542068

also it's gotten to the point where I procrastinate so much in even doing things that I genuinely enjoy but I guess require effort like watching anime or playing any vidya both of which I now have a giant backlog of, also sometimes I just haven't gone and done the hobbies I enjoy for months, really what I mostly do besides school is browse 4chan mainly among other sites.

I've got a major project due tommorow and by my most optimistic estimate I am only about 30% into it.

BUMP,

Test taking strategies and tips

Math: If a problem is ever too hard or time consuming, plug in the listed answers if it's multiple choice, starting with the middle valued number (that way you see if the answer is higher or lower, ruling out a few choices)

Reading: Always read the last sentence first. Usually the writing is slightly off topic at first, but sums up some major idea in the last paragraph or sentence. When reading the passage, try to identify what you're reading as details or ideas and only go for the ideas. You can come back for details, but trying to focus on all of them will bog you down. They throw in bad with the good in the answers; don't choose an answer if you know a part of it isn't true or adequately acknowledged. If it feels like you're straining for an answer that's subjective, interpretive, or subtle, go with your first instinct or a cursory feeling towards it. Try coming back to it later if you're overanalyzing.

Writing (critique): shorter is better, drink coffee and pay attention to detail. Go with your instincts on 9/10 questions.

Writing: Critique one of your mate's papers. Notice how shit it is. Notice how stupid he sounds when he says it like that, how his choice of words is common, and how the whole thing sucks. Yours is just like that. Realize this and do what you're doing to your mate; criticize yourself. When you get a feeling like what you're writing is a little banal, or the word doesn't fit -- you gotta listen to it. Also, practice planning your writing, it makes a huge difference.

Stop drinking coffee, the extra energy and the obvious secretion of serotonin in your head are making you indecisive with everything you do since you find enjoyment out of almost everything

>>542116

This guy here, I've got a name so you can all easily keep up with me. I have opened OpenOffice. Step one is complete. I've decided not to go anywhere but this thread and places required for the paper.

I gotta write a paper on this Fred Korematsu motherfucker and it doesn't help that my professor interviewed him personally while in grad school

(we were allowed to pick our own topic of someone who has fought for freedom in America, I did not know that my professor knew him personally until after I was stuck with him as a topic)

>>541971

>>542161
>motivation, tips, etc. please ;_;

Just do it, do something, write it out and then revise it when you're finished

>>542157

FUCK YEAH I WILL.

This paper is currently the only thing keeping me from a stress-free life.

I've gotten through all other obstacles one way or another. After about two months of being unable to enjoy anything, this is it. If I can get through this, I'm free.

I'm excited. If can get through this, then I can do anything.

Being foreveralone.png? Pssh, entry level shit.

I just need to do this one thing, and then the world is mine.

OP, if you let me be a retard and not do this paper, I will hate you forever.

If you keep be to it, then you're my new best friend.

I've lost my attention span and I'm noticing more and more that my vocabulary is dwindling. I know it's all because I've stopped reading books and replaced them with channing.

What's an easy, interesting book to get through? I've got The Ill-Made Mute somewhere but that would probably kill me if I tried to read it, so I need something to work up with and help fix my attention span.

Any suggestions?

>>541836

Phew, reporting back. Basically, my room is very small and I need to store a LOT of shit in here. Everything I own, really, the bulk of which is in old manga and shit for college. Yesterday I ripped everything out of my closet, vacuumed it out, scrubbed it down, started sorting through and cleaning shit. When I came home today it was sheer hell, if you can imagine everything from your closet suddenly taking up floorspace, of which there was precious little to begin with. I couldn't even walk.

So everything is boxed up neat, clean and stacked in a clean closet. I even managed to fit three boxes of books which were on my floor, into my closet now.

The shelf and my desk are next. ...Later. Broke a sweat. Looks sweet, though. Goddamned IRL tetris.

I cant even get myself up to take a desperately needed shit
It's been 3 hours since nature called

>>542293
Count down from 10, and either

1)take a shit in your chair
2)get up

OP you are on 4chan not facebook and your shitty copypasta can fuck right off

Texting? Who texts? And who uses facebook? I hope none of you morons do.

Any of you in this thread who have a legitimate facebook need to leave 4chan forever.

>>542256

>I know it's all because I've stopped reading books and replaced them with channing.

Same here, not only with reading books but with other things I've enjoyed vidya, anime, lego, toys, etc

It's all been replaced with chans. Vidya and anime not so much though.

>>542225

Not OP, but I was in the same situation as you. Needed to write a large paper (which turned out to be 8 pages) and I waited until the day before.

Get references sorted out. Read through them one at a time, and summarize any relevant information into a paragraph in your document, then paste the link below. Do this for all of them. Routinely go back to your outline to see what information you still don't have, then go look up a reference for that specific topic and read and summarize.

After I did all that, the rest is just fleshing it out, organizing, and connecting dots. Then format, organize references page, and it's dead.

I got an A.

I've found instead of doing something productive I'll browse 4chan for hours on end....

Fuck. I'm unemployed, I've got all day to look for work and learn new things, but nope. I'm gonna browse 4chan for 18 hours today!

>>542293
I know that feel. I procrastinate on everything and I'm constantly stressed because of it. Today I need to take my tax return to the post office and I've avoided doing it for a whole week even though I'll get $800 for it.
This stuff is always on the back of my mind and I can never fully relax.

>>542312
...you sound incredibly similar to me. Now I switch between gaming and 4chan every few minutes like someone who has ADHD, I blame 4chan for my miniscule attention span.

>>542308
>write up something
>someone calls it copypasta
>feelsgoodman

Fuck, been procrastinating revision since 6pm. I guess this thread should give me a slight incentive to start.

If anyone cares, it's revision for the BMO this Friday

>Cleaning shelf
>Pull out a box of toiletries from top shelf
>Turns out there was a case of makeup on top of it
>Case falls behind shelf, down to floor
>Don't want to remove items from bottom shelf to see what became of it

I can just imagine, powdered eyeshadow in carpet. I wear makeup like, twice a year, so I completely forgot that case was up there. Fff.

I'm going to go do language studies.

know what all of you guys need? adderall. you will accomplish more shit than you ever dreamed of. and you'll fucking enjoy it.
just don't use it as a substitute for any kind of focus. if you have to do regular homework then stay off. use it for huge shit (i.e. projects, research papers, studying large quantities of info for that test tomorrow).
find a friend who has it. or convince your rents and get your own prescription. seriously it'll change your life. just keep your use minimal. only two caps of 10 mg at a time or one XR.

Disabling texting will kill you socially and lowers your ability to make meaningful connections or get things done.

Reporting every 20 minutes disrupts actual workflow and discourages building momentum.

So uh.

This isn't for any sort of school-related thing obviously, but I'm in a writing slump. I really need to get back to writing some pornography. The problem is that I like my porn with a bit of logic in it, not just "SO I WAS FUCKING MY STEPSISTER IN THE ASSHOLE AND IT WAS GREAT THE END". I get stuck sometimes. Right now I'm trying to write some porn that I promised to some friends on a forum. I've been taking the dickhole route of handling things and told them that my internet has been out, thus I can't get on the forum to post any of my work. I've actually just been procrastinating. I need to think up something before they think I'm gone forever.

WRITING PORN AND GETTING THE MOTIVATION TO DO SO. HOW DO.

I've been working on this for the longest. I have recently quit gaming. It started with console gaming, since I don't go near it anymore. Then slowly started to stopped PC gaming. The only hard part is that I use the computer for school so I will take a quick break and play for 30 minutes but it turns into 4 hours. I have deleted the games, but I go into withdrawal or install them when I think I am better.

In college now, I was put into a group of other procrastinators as well. I felt as if I worked better if I worked under pressure. However, I don't like depending on people. And these people were horrible procrastinators. Now I know how others feel about me. So I'm definitely going to change now.

Studying for human anatomy, hopefully this thread will nag at me like one of my bitch teachers from elementary school and I will actually get shit done.

>>542751

Ho shit, mah nigga. I wrote out thumbnails for a short porn comic, myself. (Haven't gotten around to drawing it because drawing on the computer is suffering. Need to switch to paper, but need a good hiding spot cleared out first.)

Remind yourself why you love it. Go daydream about being in your porn story, the MC or whomever. Not for fapping, just for reminding yourself how erotic the situation makes you feel. Why did you write it? What are you trying to convey?

I have a ten page paper due tomorrow that I've known about for at least two weeks now. Luckily it's just the rough draft, but the final one is due on Thursday so that's not much time. No clue what my subject should be. I really don't work well when it comes to open-ended prompts. The first essay in this class was on one of three essays in our book, and I got the rough draft done relatively quickly and didn't even have to change much for the final one.

Still not sure what to write about and it's bugging the fuck out of me.

>>542894

Thanks bro. I'll try and wiggle myself back into writing it and update how I'm doing when I take a break.

Actually I'll HAVE to take a break some time after writing it. It involves a double dildo and I have little idea how those are supposed to work.

>>542321

And now, I'm actually feeling a bit optimistic about this whole thing.

I still feel mostly completely fucked, though.

Done with my room.

Now I have to create a flowchart for the work ill be doing for the next few hours, wish me luck anon!

I'm going to finish a French Revolution essay that I started two weeks ago. Wish me luck

I saw this thread when it was first posted and waited until now to post a reply.

leave to me to only be motivated when told to by a thread on 4chan.

ok gonna go fill out some job applications will report with how many i get through in a while

thermochemistry inquiry writeup .H...Herewego

i have to model a clay giant dragon snake fighting against a griffin. I already have the basic armature but it took me 6 days instead of 6 hours...deadline is Wednesday and im starting to cover the snake in clay

So, to help with my cause, does anyone know any good .gov sites where I can get information about the Mexican Drug War?

>texting and facebook distracting
>r9k
lol

>>541542
Is this thread a joke?
>get rid of distractions
>come back here every 15 minutes
This is just a ploy for everybody to get rid of any friends they have left so you can be together alone :(

I have neglected you, /r9k/.
Back in 20 minutes.

>>542561

Done studying language. ...Productive day; I retire.

Without getting into too much detail, I have got a shit ton of work to do in the next 3 weeks...like, 300 assignments shit ton.

So, I've been trying to do a couple of things to boost my productivity. First and foremost, getting my sleep schedule straightened out. I am horribly fucked up when it comes to waking up, going to sleep, and just generally maintaining any sort of solid sleep schedule; I've found that Midnight PM is a nice, non habit forming sleep aid.

I installed a website blocker (4chan included, but I figured I'd pop on for a little while today) and a bunch of apps to increase productivity (shit like a Wolfram Alpha app and whatnot). I put my Xbox 360 away, and placed all my PC vidya in an endless maze of folders (of course, I have can access them via start menu, but too lazy). I tried switching to an online note app of sorts, but it proved to be a little too clunky for me to use. A simple paper notebook works well enough for me.

My problem now is I find that often times throughout the day I kind of lose the drive to do any work, but at the same time I have no source of entertainment other than television (since I pretty much restricted everything else), so I'll just aimlessly wander or eat or something. Still, I'm a helluva lot more productive than when I didn't restrict shit.

>>541542
Great thread idea.

Right now I'm watching some art videos.

Been wanting to learn how to draw since forever, but I've only read books and watched videos, never practiced.
So, right after this one I'm booting up photoshop

>>543300

^ this is me and here's my story so far, i shit you not

nearly flipped the house over and still couldn't find a pen (they need to be in black ink), since in my country the job applications for non-professional jobs are just generic i decided i'll fill one out in pencil as a rough draft to copy in ink to the good ones.

i get to the field where it ask me my countries equivalent of an American Social Security number, i go get my wallet to get it from my govt. issued Id and it's not there.

go to my room to begin looking for it and the light is out, barely any natural light comes in so i now need a new bulb

go get my bike and realize it has a flat

i want to give up now but this is the most productive i've been in weeks and i won't let this streak die. guess i'm walking to the store (20 minutes from here, i'll also have to clean my room to find that Id)

THANK YOU OP

>>543582
Your post gave me the energy to get up, reserve a hotel room in downstate NewYork and take my job interview.

I'm scared, Idk how I'll get through this. But by god I did it, I'm packing up right now

Thanks

Inspirational shit. Might actually get working. Will report back.

>>543582

Dude, I don't think god wants you to fill that app out. Take heed.

After I post this I'll go and finish the first project I have to do.

>>543516
>Start to draw
>Suddenly
>Spike and Barley upload a new video

FUCK

I'll fap, then I'll (maybe) do it

I need to star studying for my finals in two weeks. I need a 70% is a passing grade, I haven't cracked a book yet.

My plan
>Adderall
>12 hour study session both Saturday's and Sundays until the test
>continue to slack weekdays

After a quick visit to the bathroom and my countdown, I will begin my math homework which has to be handed in tomorrow.

After having a meal, I will finish my in-depth analysis of John Proctor in The Crucible.

I think this thread is going to save my life.

To any anon reading this thread: accept the challenge, friend. Except try and see how long you can do it without feeling like you need to report back.

>>543665

i'm looking for low level work to maybe help my grandparents i'm staying with out while i wait for the next entrance exam season at Uni (cashier, burger flipper, stockboy etc) but i'm glad to read that i inspired someone who's got bigger fish to fry

>>543683

atheist/agonostic here, so IDGAF

and right before i left i remember that grandpa put away a lamp a few days ago whose powercable snapped (really old lamp), went to find it and it still has the bulb, so now i'm organizing my room and hoping i don't have to go get a new Id, my country's bureaucracy is a bitch

OP, you may have just saved my entire academic career

>>541542

>-Make sure you're getting enough sleep, you cannot sacrifice sleep

It's close to midnight here, and because of procrastination I've been 'putting things off' and going to sleep about 3-4am, which is causing me to miss morning lectures. Should I start tomorrow?

>>543950
Not OP but

Yes, go to bed and wake up bright and early tmr.
You'll feel bad about missing work and it'll give you the incentive to change your schedule so you wont slack off.

>>543788

Alas - the curse of the procrastinator.

Unfortunately, the math work that I had was isn't in my bag. Fuck, this means I'll have to do it at lunch break during college.

Fuck.

>>543950
Not OP, but I recommend just giving everything a once-over and then going to sleep. Not only will you pay better attention to everything but you won't feel as exhausted for when you actually begin homework.

>>543732
then this happened

oh god im terrible at managing my time

>>543996
>>543982

Okay. Goodnight then, I guess.

ok OP,

i'll just go for my work table in 10 secs with my playlist ON and then to roll a cigarette and start setting up the workplace.

i'll report back in a bit ROFL

>>544008
And then Tumblr and my cat happened

I just want to draw

but all these things keep getting in my way

I cant even stop procrastinating to read this thread in its fullest

>>544338
W-w-what.

>>544301

there's people that procrastinate by drawing and doodling and yet you can't focus, not trying to be an ass, i'm just saying

studying for ochem final first. hereee we goooo

>>544549
It's harder when what you are trying to accomplish is the drawing/doodling, trust me.

Also, no progress on my essay yet. I'm trying to plan it out in my head because for some reason every sentence I write is shit tier.

>>544549
>>544301
Oh boy now I'm eating and watching star trek.

nom nom nom
god ill never be able to draw at this rate

>>541625
Don't know if you're still here but I think what he meant by "collaboration" is the sharing of ideas, knowledge and expertise. This can be done in a personalized working environment where each member of a team has his/her own space to work alone and present the findings/results to the group.

Collaboration doesn't mean that you need to have everybody on a team in the same room at all times, or constantly have everybody to hold each other's hands throughout a task.

I have to study for an history essay tomorrow and I have a preliminary lab report to due. It's not a lot, but I'm easily distracted, but hopefully it all doesn't take more than 5 hours. Starting with the science first.

I've got to finalize my engineering class project, do a sheet of math, read 3 chp.s of Gatsby and study guide sheets for each, start my physics project and type up the preliminary questions, and figure out some physics equations. Plus I've got an art project due God-knows-when and I have to get a song demo in by thurs. to make it into my school's music compilation CD. Wish me luck guys.
I think I'll start with Physics

>>544693
okay now it's time to draw.

Let's
fucking
do this

Trust me, If you had to study topographic survey and mapping for geomatics you'd fucking put that shit off too.

In the midst of writing a term paper on the White Rose resistance in Munich during WWII. All the research is done, but I have about four more body paragraphs to write.

I had all weekend to do this shit, but I just started today.

Just finished the prelim questions, I'm gonna get to work on the equations now

Well, I'm finally off work, so now I have about eleven and a half hours to do what was supposed to be done over a time period of two months.

Fuck yeah, I can do this! Will keep you all updated.

Still stuck on those equations :/
At least it's because they're annoying instead of procrastination

>>545207
and then I found a fetish game on /v/

Shit, good idea.

Task: Article for writing class
Current: 0 minutes in
Time remaining: just a little over 12 hours

Progress: I have the tile down.

>>545704

I feel a strong connection to you.

Godspeed!

Just finished the physics equations, on to math!

Three paragraphs done.

Side note, I think I fucked myself up on caffeine. Well, I'll sleep it off the second I turn in this essay, and then I'll be off caffeine for the rest of the semester (hopefully).

I'm alittle surprised by how well this thread turned out

Its made me start my biology

>>546000
And got you trips, congratulations sir!

>>544429

I suck at articulating my thoughts. I meant I'm procrastinating reading this whole thread as with other large threads.

>>545996

oh my god if I can continue at this rate then I'll be done by 5am.

GUYS MAKE SURE I STAY MOTIVATED

TURN OFF THE REST OF 4CHAN OR SOMETHING

LET EVERYONE ELSE KNOW TO STOP POSTING

>>545704

Distracted by the need to eat. Trying again.

I'm almost done with math!
I'm running on nothing but candy corn and Buckethead man

>>546249

Over here, I'm chilling on tea and a metal playlist I whipped up a few minutes before starting. Shit's fun.

counting down now
got a project i can finish by 10:30 if i work hard
LETS FUCKING DO THIS

>>545996

Tragically, caffeine has lost its effect on me, and now I have to drudge painfully through these frequent all-nighters.

PROTIP: Don't drink coffee unless you need to. It'll save you in the long run.

Retake math test tomorrow. Will likely need a cheat sheet to pass it.

Analysis of an argument we read. She was very vague on what she wanted. Was due today.

Labels for one of my models. Google isn't helping very much. Teacher is chill - can have that later.

Colored sketches for mural commissions - one sketch approved, one sketch colored, one sketch still a sketch. Need to draw more fish.

Lol I don't give a fuck. I need sleep.

Intro to Global Politics and International Relations Paper due tomorrow at 4pm. Topic is the causes of WWII and how they relate to International Relations

-8-10 pages, double spaced.
-Need 8-10 sources from library archives (hardest part)

Have yet to even begin.

I avoid it. Caffeine has a varied effect on me. I've lasted 24 hours on just about 300mg on some times, and I've collapsed after 1g on others. Tonight, fortunately, things seem to be going well.

So glad I started my homework earlier on Black Friday, don't actually have anything due tomorrow.

Just need to scoop 2 pounds of sugar for a chem lab.

OP, Wife me. Time to actually practice language.

>>546419

Better get on that.

>>545695
ok finally gonna draw

Well, I'm at roughly 5-6 paragraphs. I don't understand why I didn't just man the fuck up and do this weeks ago, stress-free. Whatever. OP, you have seriously saved me. I had completely given up. I was ready to spend the day sleeping, then wake up and go through the hell of not having this paper done. Even if I don't manage to finish, I'll still have something.

Well, I've got most of my stuff done now. It's already pretty late and everything else I can do tomorrow, gnight guys. Fuckin great thread OP

>>546657
Not OP, but shit, good luck dude.

>>546367
here

still yet to start, brb taking a shit

>>546789

Thanks! Things are going much better than I expected.

Anyway, I'm off to pick up another can of caffeine - I'll be back to work within ten minutes.

>>546613
fuck yes I'm actually starting
Doing gesture drawing, I can not fucking get legs right

>>547155

Oh shit, did you draw that?

>>547176
nope
I'll post something later though

- Download a program that uses the pomodoro technique (every 25 minutes you get a 5 minute break)

- If you're doing a menial task listen to drum and bass (or your choice of repetitive, fast & obnoxious music)

Pounded out a 10 page paper earlier today.

Went out to Tiki Burger, got some pineapple ice cream, and have been on 4chan enjoying myself for the last hour.

I usually procrastinate, so this feels fucking awesome.

Finally got around to cleaning my bed. Thank you, OP.

I found all of the books I thought I was missing in there.

LOL you make me laugh! me working?... its actualy really sad... i should be doing calc homework but weed skyrim and 4chan have distracted me the weed eally didnt help...

I stopped about 3 pages short on a research paper draft. Prof can fucking deal with it. I'm going to sleep

>>547216

You're awesome. Care to inspire me a bit more? I'm running low on motivation, with eight more hours of work to do.

I find it funny this thread is so slow.

While a bunch of bitching threads are getting a lot more attention

Two and a half hours later, and I'm 2 pages in - about a fifth of the way done. Shit, I need to pick up the pace.

>>547189
FUCK THERE ARE NO GOOD VIDEOS ON ANATOMY
LOOMIS HERE I FUCKING COME

I have as much sources as I need. Shit's so much easier than I thought. All that's left is bullshitting a bunch of words together to take up enough space.

nevergonnaprocrastinateagain.

I have to-
> catch up on 10 chapters of La Familia de Pascual duarte
> need to read and write summary of all ten chapters
> need to look up all words I dont understand and translate the vocab
> must type this all up
> I have been neglecting this for weeks and just reading summaries from a site before class

> have to do two paintings in art class, oil, one four feet long on one side

> have to create a set of 20 symbols for another class to go in am accordian book

> have to study for an astronomy test and do the homework

No thank you I am going to keep not caring while I watch season one of Fringe.

I broke two weeks ago when I discovered no one, not even health care professionals at my college care enough to help you unless you are seriously considering suicide.

Naw so fuck everyone because they dont even care if I turn it in or not and neither do I anymore. I dont want to be in society anymore. Now I really do want to die and the only pleasures I can find are watching tv series with my cats until I wither away.

Need to type an essay for Chinese.

Godammit, fine, I'll do this.

m00tblox

>>543045
14:27 is when I wrote this. It is now, what, 22:08? Nearly eight hours. No progress.

I guess I decided a subject, but I'm still questioning it.

I fucking hate time and my inability to manage it.

>>548661

>>546367 here.

Still haven't started

>>548673
At least you have until 4 pm. I have until 11 am. But still, we are together in our massive sucktitude.

>i just can't be fuuuuuuucked

>>548868

Sure you can anon, SURE YOU CAN

This thread successfully justified my procrastination.

Today I turned in the paperwork that my new employer required to set up my payroll. I faxed the last of my financial information to the dick who's fax machine has been off for 3 weeks. This will speed up the delivery of my first scholarship. Shit will literally be so cash. To make things even more awesome, I completely missed traffic on my commute to work, so I had the time to get some coffee before I worked until 10:30PM. My roommate left chili, chips and soda out before she left, so I didn't have to cook dinner, either.

It's currently 1:23AM. I've been on 4chan for two hours now, and not a single fuck has been given. I don't have work until Thursday. Between now and then, I have to:

1. Call my insurance company. I got into a car accident five days ago, and haven't checked in with them. Will do first thing tomorrow morning.
2. Contest a Goddamn $140 speeding ticket for going 3 miles over the speed limit. I'll be damned if I'll have something on my flawless record, AND spend money on it.
3. Do my assignments and essays for the week. I usually knock it all out in one sitting at one of my favorite coffee shops.
4. Pack up everything in my room. It shouldn't take more than a couple of hours. I found a new apartment, and will be moving in the next two weeks.
5. Wash my car. It's been on the back burner while I've been working/studying.

...so, OP, my happy ass is staying on 4chan tonight. Likely until 5AM or so. You're motivating as fuck, though, and it looks like a lot of people have benefited from the thread. Hell, if you can get arcanines off of their ass, you can almost say that you aren't a faggot. Almost.

>>548942
Ok,

Just a little playthrough wouldnt hurt hehehehehe
heheheheHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Well, it's been four and a half hours.

So much progress has been made.

OP, I cannot thank you enough for making this thread.

Time to finish the small lab reports due tomorrow morning. Should only take 30 minutes.

Will update then.

guys.
guys.
i want to quit.
but i'm getting so fucking close.

>>548586

Hory shet, I did it!

OP, for once, is not a flaming faggot. This thread is inspirational and wonderful. I love you OP, in the most homosex way possible

>>549399

It took you only an hour? Well, good job. I'm over five hours in with four pages done. I'm aiming for nine or ten pages by 7:00 (five and a half hours from now).

Just over four hours to go.

Several pages left, no idea how I'm going to fill them.

Citation's a bitch.

I feel like I'm about to die.

So how are the rest of you doing?

>1000 word essay due by 9am tomorrow
>Easy topic
>I want to sleep

>>550190

>>546367
again, still yet to start. I will soon though

I'll get started on my Chinese test corrections at the end of the hour.

>you cannot sacrifice sleep

Stopped reading here.

Okay, citations are done. I have about three pages left to type, and four hours to do it. Problem is, I feel like shit.

30 minute power nap? 30 minute power nap.

I hope I don't fuck this up.

>>550512
set an alarm

bloxxxxx

By the end of the week the following has to be done:
-Computer Science project: integrating our new PHP code into our existing website, due thursday
-Choosing, reading and writing a report on any English Literature book, due TOMORROW (any suggestions?)
-Finishing 1/3 of my collaboration project due friday. Whether or not I finish high school is mostly dependent on this

By the way, for those who think I'm underage b&, I'm in Holland and I'm 19 years old, and I'm in my final year of our equivalent of high school

I'll post on this later.

>>550524

I did. But I started throwing up pretty much as soon as I got in bed. I feel a lot better now, so no need for a nap.

>>550619
Alright well I'm going to lay down for 10 minutes(setting alarm in case) then I'm going to get cracking on essay sources and hammer out these 4 pages.

I'll keep you posted

>>550630

You'd better be back here in ten minutes and ready to finish that shit.

Okay guys, ask for my progress. I'm starting that paper in 10... 9... I'm a weak motherfucker, KEEP ME ON TRACK! 8... 7...

Okay, I have two psych papers to write before tomorrow.

Here goes nothing.

>4:35 am

>>550673

you, me, procrastination buddies, let's do this, I posted before you, I've started, you start right now

Does anyone else despise homework with a passion? I don't fucking understand. I'm sitting in my lab at uni and I fucking rip through that shit, or listen to the lectures, or write papers in the library with my bros. But as soon as I get home I can't be fucked to do a single thing.

>>550681
Okay man,
cracking open the book now.

>1st Assignment,
Maslow's Hierarchy,
-Find yourself on the hierarchy and explain how/why you know this.
-Conclude the paper with several sentences indicating where you would like to be in the hierarchy in 3-5years.

>>550700

easy easy easy, just bullshit yourself through it. it's a personal paper without much of a need for fact finding, you can drag sentences out for miles.

- four pages on scent psychology, APA style
- one partner is a drug addict, didn't do his part
- other partner did his part, barely, still need to edit his shit
- 2:43 a.m.
- need to be at bus stop at 11 a.m.
- starting now

three and a half hours left oh god

about to pass out

two pages left

preferably more

>>550728

edit: found I started the paper a while ago, it's about 1.5 pages long, need to beef it up

>>550728
Yep, community college tends to assign easy as fuck shit.

Good luck.

>>550738

YOU WILL FINISH IT

>>550752

I second that, DO IT!!!

>>550752
>>550755

i'm officially a zombie.

what do i do?

>>550768

Splash cold water on your face and give yourself a firm slap. Then get a glass of water and GO

>>550779

will do.

fuck the filter.

>4:52 am

Fuck, how do I start a paper again? Who cares? It's a community college psych class, but goddammit I suddenly can't remember how to anything.

>>550793

first paragraph to plan out your entire paper. blah blah malow's hierarchy is this blah blah it is described blah blah my life is very complicated blah blah blah

then the last sentence of the first paragraph
>In terms of Dickhead's hierarchy, many of my most basic need are fully met, while my less urgent needs are lacking because I browse /r9k/ and I make poor choices.

>paragraph one
dickhead says these needs blah blah blah I have a roof over my head and I masturbate blah blah blah

and so on

Well I started my lab report that is due tomorrow. I just finished the Materials and Methods sections and moving on to the data/discussion/conclusion sections.

I have two things I gotta do.

I gotta finish a blog post on women in science for a class.

I also got to start putting together a research proposal for an undergraduates summer internship. I need to read some papers and put together an essay.

I'm not going to be sleeping much this week, even if I don't do anything on the computer besides work.

Well, I'm down to about three hours. I can do this. I only have one class tomorrow, so I'm going to have the most glorious sleep ever the second it ends. And then, I'm going to wake up feeling victorious. I'll do all the things I've been wanting to do but have been too stressed out to do.

I'm so close.

>>550826
Many thanks, with your help and the powers of bullshittery I have successfully churned out a first paragraph.

>5:05am
>1 paragraph, 4 to go.

Let me also apologize, I know that this shit is easy as fuck, I just need to focus and I can probably churn it out in an hour.
Good luck to all of your who have real hard work to be doing.

cc psych guy, how are you doing? I'm combining my existing paper and my partners and doing apa work on it, it'll be messy and wouldn't fly in a real class, but the teacher never had us do any work at all, and will probably give an A no matter what I turn in, still I want it to be decent just in case.

I don't even know what I should start doing. I try and think about it and I deliberate endlessly. No matter how I spend my time it feels like I'm wasting my time. I could do anything, it doesn't even mater what, and as log as I followed though I'd be free to do another thing, and another. But I don't know what the first thing would be, and I never start. Sometimes I think I might benefit if I got rid of everything I had so that only the walls kept me company. Then, being connected to nothing, I'd finally be able to think and become what I need to be. But I'd never be able to get that far.

>>550876
Well, right now I am torrenting microsoft office, which I really should have done a long time ago but have never gotten around to it.

I am in the same boat though, these assignments were assigned as make up for a day missed due to a bomb threat, so we could either do these or miss a day in the attendance record, so I chose these. He also offered extra credit if we did them.
I have never done an assignment for this class up until now, so I'm sure like you I will probably get an A for effort, but I want to try and produce something quality just in case, also just to make myself feel like a little less of a loser.

>5:14 am
>Outline and 1st paragraph.
>Almost done downloading Microsoft Office.

>>550878

Put all your shit in alphabetical order, then get started.

ALRIGHT. IT'S BEEN 7 HOURS SINCE I MADE Y FIRST POST. I AM STARTING THIS PAPER.

4 PAGES
8 SOURCES
10 HOURS

LET'S
FUCKING
GO

>>550944

Oh god I'm already tired

One page left until I meet the required amount.
Over two hours to go.
I can do this I can do this I can do this I can do this I can do this I can do this I can do this I can do this I can do this I can do this I can do this I can do this.

Lab report guy here. Finished making my 2 required charts/graphs. On to Discussion then Conclusion.

>>551003

You're so close, you can finish it.

>>550921
All what shit, various media? Some of it is in boxes, do I have to put the ones in boxes in alphabetical order as well? Or do I have to arrange everything in alphabetical order and put the first or last chunk of books in storage, so that my shelf would contain A-R and my closet Z to S? They vary in size greatly as well. Anyways I don't think putting my books and videogames in order is going to help me in any meaningful way, unless it's supposed to have some kind of zen quality to it. I don't even read.

>>550917

I like you, fellow community college psych class taking loser. And I don't like myself, strange. Do those papers though! Check in till you finish.

Doing a cheap ass abstract with absolutely none of the things an abstract should have, like an accurate summary of what's in the paper. Following this apa guide -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pbUoNa5tyY&feature=youtu.be

>>550988

YOU. I'm here, work motherfucker work. Post your progress regularly.

I'm putting off sleep. Maybe I'll go do that now~
Ohh dat soft cotton shrivelling up my ice cold balls like BenGay...feels like a cinnamon roll now

I just finished fucking everything I had to do. I am finally free from this shit. Stick with it guys, the light is at the other end of the tunnel, you just have to cross it.

>>551015

I know. But my brain's quickly turning off. Progress is slowing.

>>550843
I've found some good statistics I can use for that blog post. But i haven't actually written anything more yet. OP's post distracted me by making me think about what being on 4chan since fucking 2007 must have done to my brain. Oh God...

>5:33am

I have office.
So now I can work again.

Okay I shouldn't have used that as an excuse, but the paper is due at 2pm today.

>>551041

GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO

I'm 90 words into my abstract... need to squeeze in another 60.

Finished my 350 page book. Need to shit a paper using concepts from this entire semester and then spit out an unrelated current event. Had porn on standby for four hours now anticipating my break time and Im not even the slightest bit horny. Life is hard sometimes, unlike my penis.

>>551058
I know that feel.
I know it so well.
I plan on rewarding myself with a nice long fap afterwords.

>5:41am.
>2nd paragraph in the works.

>>551024

Okay, the into paragraph is done. I have my 3 main points outlined for root causes of WWII as they relate to international relations.

-The treaty of versailles and how it fucked Germany
-The Great Depression and the rise of protectionism
-The failure of the League of Nations

I'm having to mash my eyeballs into my skull every couple of minutes to stay awake.

Now I need to comb the school library website for 10 sources to back this shit up. I think I have 2 or 3 leftover from a related paper.

abstract done

what next... whatever the video says, I guess, then onto beefing up my end of the paper

fsdhuufdofdfudsfodnfds less than a page left.

we're going to have a party when i finish.

right?

>>551137

GJ! we can't have a party because this is the internet and we all suck, but you can masterbate! or play skyrim. yummmm skyrim....

- need to find a few references
- decide what to do about drug user partner's part of the paper
- bullshit another two pages

archive this for the future

Lab report guy here. Just finished it. 6 pages in 1:30? Not bad.

>>551159

Shit, I'm too exhausted for any of that.

Just wasted a good 30 minutes.
I need to focus dammit.

>6:03am
>Cover sheet, 2 paragraphs.

WOW, SCHOOL LIBRARY JUST REFORMATTED ITS WEBSITE SO THAT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ONLINE ARTICLES RELEVANT TO MY SUBJECT

I AM NOW FREAKING OUT

I'm gonna read this thread later, swear.

>>551195

oh fuck. any recourse? I assume that they'll only accept scholarly sources... any free databases anywhere? I don't know man.

>>551210

I can still use the school database, but now I have to sift through hundreds of pages of online books the library has provided.

Before I could just find relevant articles that were maybe 10 pages max.

>>548741
12 hours.
of nothing

Been awake 12 hours.
Haven't done shit of either of my projects.
America.

>>541542
I have a week to read 60 pages of articles and write a 4 page single spaced essay on it.
2 weeks to read/watch 9 articles/documentaries and write 9 pages of responses.
~2 weeks to do 3 chapters of math homework (~600 math problems)
about three days to read a about 30 pages and do a 2 page response.

I havent started on any of them.
I will start tomorrow.
Hopefully i can stay away from the internet while i do this.
Such is the life of a procrastinator in college.

PS. I've known about the first two assignments since August.

>6:27am
Almost done, although the feeling is lackluster. I would love to ramble about my life but I know the purpose of the paper is to explain where I fit on the hierarchy and not complain about my financial problems.

I hate this, the limit of the paper should help me focus my thoughts but instead it just makes me want to squeeze everything into a low quality paper.

>>551230
Go look at some inspiration. Just don't get too into it. Feel the jealousy burn, then get sketching. Don't feel like drawing what you need to? Just scribble the first idea that pops into your head. Can't finish that idea? Go ahead, scribble something else. Scribble procrastinator signing out. Also I have an exam tomorrow and I'm about 40% done revising. Good luck to all those needing motivation!

>>551037
Blog post is done! I have to write several more over the course of the week but at least I have one done. Now I can start my research proposal.

Well, the sun is rising in just an hour and a half. I'm ready.

Also, I've been pissing out caffeine all night.

This thread is awesome, I just plan to go to sleep soon so I'll check back in tomorrow to see if there's another thread going.

>>551317
Thanks but I gotta be up in 3 hours.
>>551342
Same, almost drank a 12 pack of soda already.
Diabeetus here I come

>>551337
It's the final fucking stretch man. Just gotta get this little bit finished, turn that shit in and you're DONE. You get home from class, and sleep like a god. Just imagine how amazing and stress free you'll feel when you wake up.

>>551373
Fuck you man I still won't be able to sleep after I get home from classes.

>>551396
Well shit, work I'm assuming? That sucks pretty bad, i'll admit. Once it's all over though it'll be glorious.

>>551373

Oh yes. Yes yes yes.

I just hope that the labs are open at 7. I know that the library doesn't open until 8. I need to print this bitch :|

>6:48
>First paper done.

Okay, whatever, there it is and I'm not looking back.
So, second prompt and I have NO idea what to do.

>2nd Paper.
1 typed page

Carl Rogers, a noted American psychologist , gave us the term Unconditional Positive regard. It means the expression of unconditional acceptance of another person's basic worth. [You love them no matter what they do.] You are to apply this term to a significant living person in your life and explain how you show this type of regard toward that person.


Do you think my dog counts?

>>551424

human would be better, the more in-depth the more you can write. though explaining how simplicitic the dog is, and it's a major reason why you love him unconditionally could be enough to get you through.

- I'm stupid
- I'm lazy
- I'm just going to drop out after this semester, start working minimum wage if I'm lucky

3 pages and 5 sources to go

And I'm done.

It would really be nice if this could get me a C.

>>548716

>Trying to learn to draw
>By writing notes
>And not actually practicing

All of the herp derp. Listen, I'm a drawfag, I'mma tell you some things, son. I've been reading your posts. You want to learn to draw? First, sit your ass down and ask why. The next five years of your life will be an obsession with improvement, just to get to a point where you can draw ideas without them being obscured by shitty skill. Five years of mediocrity. Drawing is a lifelong persuit, not some shit you work on for a year to slap on a resume. Either you love it and are obsessed with it, or you aren't. If you have to FORCE yourself to draw, don't fucking bother.

>>551462
How much time do you have left? It'd be a good idea to at least do a quick read over of it, check for any errors or sentences that sound odd.

>>551435
Yeah, I suppose the only person I could think of is my mother, it's only one page, I can probably bs it.

I suppose I plan to stay in school, hopefully get better at this shit. I'm not a complete idiot but I'm nowhere near ready for a university. I blame... well a lot of things. I do need to get a job so I can move out of my fucking parents house though. What I plan to major in wont exactly allow my a luxurious life but I'll be happy just living in a small apartment without debt.
Fuck, whatever.

>>551474
One page sounds easy enough to bullshit, especially on a topic like this. Just go with whatever sounds good.

I'm seeing the sunrise right now guys.

It's fucking beautiful.

Holy FUCK 8 sources is stupid to find. I have 3 sources with everything I need to prove my thesis, but I need to find 5 more DIFFERENT things to prove shit I already know.

>>551467
why?
WHY?
I don't know.
I just want to get good at something, and looking back at the months of time I've wasted doing the same shit I pulled today makes me fucking infuriated.

And fuck you, I do need to force myself to draw, not because I don't love it, because I'm bad at it, and I hate looking at what I do.

It's seven, so I'll be fully awake by eight and start on shit. At 7:45 I'm doing my yoga. Stiff as hell.

Coffee isn't cold and no ice, so don't say caffeine.

I don't think I'm going to school at 10 today just to procure parking. Shit to do. I'll do battle at 1:30. Oh, and hit the library before I go. So I'll kill the rest of that book now.

>>551473

I've got about an hour left, but I already looked through it. Honestly, even if there is anything I missed, I'm too tired to notice it right now. I barely made it.

>>551496

Don't look at what you do. Look at improvement/time, and look towards what you want to do.

I'll make it clear. Draw or die. Being scared of sucking will end up as you sucking forever. Either pick up a pencil or leave.

(Yah, seriously, don't start in photoshop. Digital takes longer and lets you obsess over details. Don't shine shit. Grab scrap paper and scrawl in on some pencil or whatever is lying around.)

>>551501
Well then at least it's done, yea? Must feel good to finally be past that. Truly, you will have the most glorious feel later on.

>>551508
I got some fucking paper

There is no way I can scrape together 4 pages on this shit, there simply is not enough information

>7:28am

Okay. I need to start my second paper now. No more procrastinating.
Damn.
I am such a lazy fuck.

Alrighty, I have to finish studying an entire textbook's worth of mechanics by next week. Aim is to finish at least one chapter a day.

Should I block my significant other (temporarily) so I don't get distracted?

I'm 1/3 of the way done with inking bookstore background. After this, there's the shaded version.
I have another sketch, rough line, final, shade of a candy shop to go, all due on Wednesday night.
There's also two different research essays I need to finish, due on Thursday night.

Can someone shoot me? Or at least, wound me so I have more time to work on this shit? Oh, God.

Pic related, I keep doodling instead of working.

Library website 404'd. This isn't good at all

Have.....all....sources.

Nearing completion, not sure if I can make the page requirement, going to have to fuck with fonts and shit to push it over.

so very tired...

I've just started working on my paper. I've been putting this off for weeks and the deadline is coming closer... I'm already on 4chan.

>>551499

Finished half the remainder of the book. Yoga done, showered. Gonna relax for half an hour, then do figures warm-up and ink a page. Or sketch a page. Either.

>8:33am

Still working, just, slowly.
Better than not, I guess.

>I've been wanting to learn Korean for three months now, I have everything necessary already.

It's done but it's 2 pages short, there's nothing more I can do.

>>551594
I actually finished one chapter. Granted, it's only 17 pages and I have 150+ more pages and one more textbook to go, but babby steps are good. I'll reward myself with a victory schlick after chapter 2.

Hang in there fellow cocksuckers, I'm proud of you all.

This is easily the worst essay I have ever written, but thanks for helping me through it brobots

>>551318
Okay, I think I've found some good papers I can use to write an experiment procedure. I've also written my CV. Now I just have to send the CV and the papers to my adviser to see what he thinks. I'm currently undecided between three questions I want to investigate, so I need to consult with him to decide which one I can get useable data out of most easily. But then, I'll still need to write a personal essay.

Update: I just turned that monster in.
