This may be a question that doesn't need to be asked...

Nov 06, 2009 00:45

...but I am finding out that I am the kind of person who likes to know things specifically. So the question is this:

Who here is a horrible procrastinator and just a student with all-around horrible, no-good, shitty study habits??

Anyone? Or just me?

If so, how do you manage with that kind of "habit" or did you ever get better about it? If so, ( Read more... )

old habits die way too hard, school

i'm a last minute person because i always do better under pressure.

lol, I use to think that about myself, too, but I seem to be cracking under that pressure the older I get... Almost as if it is a worn out method for me that no longer works as it did when I was younger...

It's weird but maybe for the best because I never did like doing that sort of thing (and my parents always bitched about it *rolls eyes*).

That was totally me in university. I'm out now, but thinking about going back to school, and before I do I'm doing NaNoWriMo to prove to myself I can actually finish something on a deadline.

I'm using Write or Die to keep me focused. We'll see if it works.

Good luck.

LOL, this is me and has been me through most of my educational "career"!

I wanted to do NaNo but I haven't even been able to finish the 50 Book Challenge - I feel that I need to take things/pursuits in steps but then that may need to change because even me trying to apply that kind of method hasn't exactly been successful (it has been successful in some things, not so much in others)... There are times when I am sure what I could do to make my pursuits easier and more certain of completing them but at the same time I am constantly unsure of whether this method will work (in other words: I can be a bit of a mess, lol - I'm working on that, though).

Thanks; good luck to you too (and from what I've heard of NaNo, you'll need it! ;D )

Man, I totally feel for you ( ... )

I'm feeling for me, too. It's like I never learn (either that or deep down I just don't care as much as I keep telling myself, which is unacceptable any way you shake it because too much has been spent on school and too much work has been put in it for me to NOT care, you know?)I've thought about that, too... Not to mention, me horoscope continues to keep telling me that, that I need to work hard if I really want something to happen rather than expecting it to be handed to me or something. Sometimes taking a risk is the only way to get things done and I guess I just need to start taking more of those ( ... )
