OK. So I am a sophomore and I have a few friends. I am worried about my grades but also want time to practice my instruments. I can't stop procrastinating though. It gets easier once I start working but I do this to everything. In the morning I wake up late because I want more time to sleep because of staying up al night finishing homework. I can do it but I dont have a drive until it is the last minut.
I also have a problem with rationalizing. I say that I will do it later or that I can cut the time I need because I can do it in the morning. Things like that are really hurting me.
Please help me with this. I do this with everything. Chores, homework, practicing, and I am even doing it now by going on the computer. Please Help with both problems.
Note: Be serious, be respectful, and please only give answers that have worked for you or someone else. My internet doesn't connect quickly so once it is on I keep it on so that I can go on when I need to, so dont say turn it off.

Make out a daily schedule (6am, wake up, eat breakfast; 6:30am, take a shower, 7am, feed the dog and take out the trash; 7:30am, leave for school; and so on). As you do each scheduled activity, check it off of your list. By the end of the day, you'll fell like you've actually accomplished something, instead of wasting time.
STICK TO YOUR SCHEDULE until you get into a routine and don't need it anymore.
Hope this helps.

Procratination is a tough thing to overcome. It will take will power. You said that you feel good once you are doing it. Try thinking about that feeling when you should be starting...
As for the rationalizing, I think it is the same issue. You have to realize that you are in control. So go ahead, take control of your life. Good luck!

the only way to stop procrastinating is to bow your self up and say I will do this now, I will not put it off.
It is important to prioritize your activities and do what's required first, and optional later.
I have found that I do better when I make a list and cross things off as I finish.
Stop rationalizing! You have to take control and don't let things control you.
Do It Now!

a lot of people might recommend you're taking a "hollow 3 hundred and sixty 5 days", yet i think of it particularly is stupid. i think of which you will possibly agree that that would not sparkling up something. A "hollow 3 hundred and sixty 5 days" is like one long holiday from existence, yet can all people particularly try this? What you ought to do is to do something precious, yet you could not be focusing on the fee of it. you ought to easily do something and not trouble approximately what are the outcomes. in basic terms locate something to do and do the final you could. once you get greater effective is the time to evaluate it. issues might properly be mounted later. decide for something which will save you busy and is not difficult. it is not a time to stay nonetheless or discourage your self. Lofty targets could be placed away for once you're greater effective. i think of you may do something that keeps you around people yet would not contain complicated interplay. melancholy itself could make you not think of of course, yet i think of which you in addition to might have stress issues. in case you're looking after which you will get returned your thinking and your motivation. There are some sturdy drugs for stress like Klonopin. drugs for stress are plenty greater valuable than antidepresants. i assume stress is greater scientifically comprehensible than melancholy. i think of that as quickly as melancholy and stress co-exist you could not reat one devoid of treating the different. i've got faith that on occasion stress triggers depresssion. My surgeon would not have faith this, yet in my adventure this seems authentic. whether stress did not reason melancholy, it nonetheless feeds it. i be conscious of that this propose is unusual, yet I predicted you probably did not choose the same old propose. i grow to be the place you at the instant are some months in the past. Be sturdy and don't lose wish.
