Answer #1

forrest8: good ideas, yeah I cant have a roommate (I’d go nuts, plus I need privacy…lol) But yeah, you had some good ideas! thank you! my main addiction though is youtube and currently this site. lol

Answer #2

oh, I wish I knew. I’m the queen of procrastination. Like I have so much stuff to read, and I’m putting it off til later. When I feel like putting stuff off…I tell myself I just got to do it and I plan something later to look forward to when I finish whatever it is that I’m doing.

sillist1s: haha yeah, maybe this site isnt the best to ask because im sure most of us are here procrastinating

Answer #4

Well what really worked for me is closing my door (if you alone that is but in college one always tend to have a roommate), turning my phone off, face away from the window, have a lamp in my desk b/c its always better than an overhead. Sit with some warm tea (and another snack) and just work away. Only get up to go to the bathroom, dont turn on the tv or radio and definitely dont answer the phone.

what helps me sometimes also is getting rid of excess energy by going to the gym or hanging with some friends for a LIMITED amount of time.

trying going to the library, finding a quiet corner etc

the goal is to remove yourself from things you know can distract you.
