When you graduate, real work is a lot harder than writing papers. Grow a pair.

Real work pays better than writing papers too.

Wow, just reading the first few posts helped me to go back to writing my paper.
I got 10 hours left and still need about 1000 more words. Is this even possible?

Right after finishing this post I will close the GAF tab in my browser.









Just to come back 5 minutes later to lurk for answers to my post....

What the fuck? Yes, it's totally possible. 1000 words shouldn't take longer than two hours to write.

You know, if you haven't done any research or anything.

1000 words shouldn't take longer than two hours to write.

But I want every single word to be perfect!

btw what am I doing here, again? I fear I might be subjected to this witchcraft you call "procrastination"

What are you writing?

 

[PatBot]

What are you writing?

The concept of routines in Burroughs novel "Queer", term paper for my English master.

Too bad English isn´t my first language, would make it much easier.

But you should take my lamenting with a pinch of salt, I guess I´ll be fine in a few hours.

This is how I solved my procrastination problems.

1 - Read 'Executive Toughness' by Jason Selk.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0071786783/

The book has a shitty name, I know, but don't let that put you off. It's excellent. It improved my productivity tons in a very short amount of time.

2 - Read Neil Fiore's book 'The Now Habit'.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/1585425524/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Great book about conquering procrastination.

3 - Started using the pomodoro technique and the '30 minute method'.

Info about pomodoro technique here -- http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/download/pdf/Pomodoro-Cheat-Sheet.pdf

Info about 30 minute method here -- http://www.charlesngo.com/triple-your-productivity-with-the-30-minute-method/

Since putting this stuff into action, I've tripled the amount of work I do daily without increasing my work hours. It's really effective.
