It is a matter of self control. I always prepare what ever I can ahead of time. It sure is a lot less hectic and I am not apt to forget anything that way. Instead of thinking that you will do it later....just get up and do it.

Began one thing at a time till finished, then start the next etc:

Make a plan, always, and then stick to it.

I, too, have a habit of putting things off. I will tell myself that I will get around to it when I have more time; of course, it is usually something that doesn't take much time but that I think will take less time if combined with a related activity. Even something as simple as bringing a rarely used item from the kitchen back to its storage place in the basement will have me placing the item by the stairs where it waits for days to be brought that few extra feet. I want to be sure that I don't waste too much time so I wait until there is a veritable warehouse of items perched perilously on the floor by the stairs, and then I gather them all up, and bring them down. In the meantime, they are vulnerable to being kicked and they collect dirt and dust from the floor. It's just a bad habit left over from when I was running a very busy household, with a houseful of children and a home business to run. Now I have all the time in the world, but I have kept the habit. So, I try to tell myself that walking up and down the steps more frequently is a good way to work off calories. Tell yourself that leaving it to the last minute will actually take more of your time than doing it earlier - it's usually true.

Perhaps think to yourself, 'If I do something early, that will give me more time to do other things that I want to do.' I think that you'll be more 'relaxed' in your mind, if you do that. You won't be thinking, 'I've got to do (this thing) before (this time)', because you'll have done it already. Does that make sense to you? I hope it does. I can only just understand it myself! LOL! :-)

I do that, too. I find that when I get the most work done is when I'm able to motivate myself to do something. I try to get everything done in class before I go home, so that way I'll have time to myself. I used to believe that organizing doesn't help at all. At the beginning of this semester, I was organized like CRAZY! I did so well. I finally got the best report card of my life. It made me so happy. As the semester went on, I started to go back into my old habits...and...my marks went down. :( I'm going to recommend organization. It makes it so much easier to just check the back of your binder or something and see if you've done the work instead of just flipping through so many papers trying to find it. How old are you anyway?

Almost everyone is like you,just try to be on time.
