Having a problem with procrastion

[CatStarESP4]

During the home stretch my Freshman year in college (April 1992), I had a research paper due the next day. I had the research done weeks before, but no idea how to put in a ten page paper. I wrote the rough draft the day before, edited and pulled an all-nighter typing up the final copy. I turned in the paper and note cards and got an A on it. Interestingly, though that I hadn't slept in 24 hours, but had enough energy to attend a dance only to return to my room and fall asleep upon going to bed. I still procrastinate and I try to fight it, but old habits die hard!

Since formal recruitment has been going on this week, I did not have that much time to do my home work. I know that I have a lot to do but it really hard trying to motivate myself when I am so tired from not getting enough sleep the night before. Recruitment runs late into the night then I have to get up early for work. I didn't do any homework this week. But I'm going to get started now because I have a lot. It's so hard with such a long week to get motivated. I just want to just lay down and go to sleep.

Bye

I'm having a hard time getting back into the swing of things this semester. I think I got totally spoiled this summer not having to anything but play with my girls all day - I got to read books that I wanted to read, watch tv, play on the computer, etc. Now I've got all this stuff due and I'm still living on summer mode! I think I need a swift kick to get me jumpstarted!

I did the same thing, but with a 20 page paper last year! ANd getting an A was like positive reinforcement for my procrastination!
