Hi Aniah, really good point. I also tend to procrastinate when I shouldn't be... Some tips for you just from a guy with maybe a bit more experience:
1) Build your to-do list of the day in "smaller achievable" steps. Basically, don't try to eat the elephant all at once
2) Give yourself a reward when you completed something. Like some chocolates!
3) Look back on the things you accomplished that day before you go to sleep. Tell yourself that you did good. This helps you to stay motivated tomorrow and for all the days to come.

Hope you have a great (and productive) week ahead!

Aniah,

A simple answer from a 75-year old.
When it comes time for you to live on your own and pay for food, clothing and shelter you will rather quickly snap out of your tendency to procrastinate. Unfortunately, money is a necessity in today's civilized world. Its lack often means tough going. Having popcorn for supper gets old rather quickly.

Good fortune to you.

Hi Aniah, I totally get how frustrating procrastination can be! I've been there too. One trick that really helped me is the "five-minute start method." Just tell yourself you'll work on something for five minutes. Once you start, it's easier to keep going. Try breaking big tasks into smaller parts and give yourself a little break after finishing each one. It's like turning work into a fun game!
