Procrastination keep each other accountable.

One more thing I'd like to add besides the school stuff that I have planned today. Is that I would like to get my application for a new passport all sorted out today.

A little off topic, but I have to get this off my chest. I was close to trying to date again, but I caught myself. I already messed up, because I told this girl I would like to go on a date with her. But I am still not very happy with myself, so until I am happy I can't be so selfish to start dating someone. Especially someone that doesn't realize the problems that I'm going through.

Well I read 120 pages of this book today. I rewrote some lecture notes out, and I did a little work on quizzes. Overall I'm satisfied.

I still have to work out everything for applying for the passport, which I will have time to do tomorrow. Along with reading 60 more pages of that book. Finishing going through my lecture notes, and studying for the exams coming up fairly soon.

Today's plan:

-read 60 pages from this book I have to read

-read through history tutorials and answer questions, which will be gone over in tutorial class tomorrow. Mark based on participation for tutorials.

-rewrite lecture notes for history

-make psych quiz for chapter 2

-History read through all important notes and try to make connections, because it's quite a lot of memorizing.

Davie, I applaud your list of things to do though. I have the same tasks and keep procrastinating :-) My tutor group is tomorrow too and I have a paper I should be planning.

No worries Perna. Some days it's harder to be productive. I'm battling some obsession stuff today, so it may be difficult to complete the whole list. But I'll try.

So I got the computer back yesterday and procrastinated hooking it up because that would mean I could do homework, no excuses. I have classes and appointments today so:

Plan for today- Hook up the computer, watch course video

Goals for today:

- Read up to page 250 of this book(est. time 2 hrs)

- write out history lecture notes (est. time 1.5 hrs)

- finish making psych quiz with answers for chapter 2( ext. time 1.5 hrs)

-begin going through questions on syllabus for history, will be helpful for test(est. time 1 hr)

do this from 3:30pm - 11pm

Due dates:

-Jan. 30th- have that book read

-Feb 4th- psych test #1(worth 30%)

-Feb 7th- history test(worth 15%)

-Feb 13th- sociology test(worth 25%)

I only got through the reading of the book, and some of the history lecture notes.

Went through a major obsessive episode that halted my studying .

I will make a new plan for tomorrow, as of now I just need a goodnight sleep.

I only got as far as hooking the computer up yesterday, so procrastinated.

Goals today: watch video chapter 2, read etext, and guided notebook chapter 2

No worries Fresia keep pushing forward .

Today what I have left is:

-get to page 300 in this book(almost there, 45 mins)

-rewrite my history notes(1.5 hrs of work)

-rewrite psych notes (1 hr of work)

-work on psych quiz chapter 2(1hr)

Today my goals are:

- re write my history notes from this morning (45 minutes)

- work on making my psych quiz chapter 2.. (1 hr)

- start studying for midterms in history and psych (2 hrs)

- go to focus group on sexuality(1.5hrs, boosts my psych grade by 3%)

- order contacts from costco

- finish reading my book(10 minutes, almost done )

Goals 2.3-2.6, assessments and chapter 2 pre-quiz

I lost my focus today and basically just did the focus group and finished my book. I did a little bit of studying for my history exam coming next week, but not much.

I'll go to bed early and hopefully have a good day tomorrow .

goals for tomorrow:

- study for psych and history mid terms,and go to my 3 classes.

- also re-write psych and sociology notes, I have found this does not help with history, because it's too much information to take in. So I'm taking a new approach and just going over what the prof has emphasized for studying.

- also tomorrow I have to pick up a trial pair of contacts, because mine are discontinued

Made it 2/3 of the way through chapter 2 yesterday, as I tuckered out. Good progress though for having procrastinated so much. I did over estimate the time this program would take and what I could get done. I need to finish the one chapter today and do the quizzes: two sections and quizzes are the goals.

Well I didn't get as much done as I wanted yesterday, but nonetheless here's the plan today:

1) re-write psych notes from yesterday

2) make 2 quizzes chapter 2 and chapter 13 for psych that will be a part of the midterm on Tuesday next week

3) read through chapter 1 of psych connecting to notes and quiz.

4) read through french revolution stuff, connecting it to the questions from my syllabus

5) pick up trial contacts after my history lecture.

I hope your plans went well Davie08.

I managed to get through what I needed to finally for chapter 2, and passed.
Goal today: at least 2 sections of Chapter 3, and assessments.

Well done Fresia. I didn't manage to get as much done as I wanted. Had a rough night of procrastinating. I just have a really really hard time studying past 9 pm. So I think I have to plan for that and focus on school as much as I can before that time, and then relax after 9, and go to sleep early.

With this being said here's the list today:

1) volunteer from 11am-2pm

2) finish chapter 13 quiz for psychology

3) read chapter 1 of psychology and connect it to my notes and/or quiz

4) answer french revolution syllabus questions and try to get some memorizing in.

Ch's to cover for psych:
1,2,13

what to cover from history:
french revolution, Napoleon, Congress of Vienna, Romanticism, Revolutionary ferment, revolutions of 1848, english reform movements, science-realism and Darwinism, Karl marx and Socialism, Unification of Italy and Germany.

History seems so overwhelming lol.

Well I have decided to focus on one subject at a time.

I have the psych midterm(worth 30%) on tuesday, and the History midterm(worth 15% on friday). So I've decided to spend today and tomorrow studying only for psych, then I will spend tuesday, wednesday and thursday studying for history.

Today's goals:
-chapter 1 of psych is pretty well gone over

1)do some memorizing and connecting from textbook with chapters 2 and 13.

2)do my readings for my history tutorial that is tomorrow afternoon

work period
-9am-2:45pm(psych)

-3:30pm-5:30pm(psych)

-8pm-9pm(history readings)

Sounds like a good plan Davie08, bext wishes preparing for your exams and good luck on them.

I have several appointments today and class tonight. My goal is to get at least one more section done in chapter 3, if not two ideally to finish it today. I just looked a the schedule and because of the timing, I have to have it all done on Wednesday to get it mailed in time. Yikes. I cancelled my other appointments the next couple of days meanwhile and may my brain cells kick into gear. I will keep telling myself that I am a math genius. Ha.

Goals:
-Last two sections of chapter 4
-Copy and mail notebook to the professor
-Do pre-quizzes and post quizzes chapter 3 and 4

I have been procrastinating something fierce the last couple of days. It is amazing to me ow easy it is to do other things, even for other people instead of getting my own things done. Time to focus though.

Goal today:
Pre- quizzes chapter 3 and chapter 4
Practice exam

Ok, so am so burned out. Took an exam on Monday and then have been terrible the last couple of days by not doing anything and putting everything else first.

Today goal: Pre- & Post Quizzes 2 chapters

I finally managed to get through chapter 5. I am actually caught up now amazingly enough.

Goal today: chapter 6.1 problems and assessments

This is a wonderful thread. I can't say how much I needed this to fight off procrastination. I usually don't get the grades I want when I've done a fair share of procrastination and not sticking to my plan. I need a plan, and I need some concrete way to hold myself accountable other than lofty dreams and goals that can be reached through making good grades and what not.
I hope I can keep this up.
now on to the meat of things
tonight: quiz myself on exam 2 material for Physiology
ask big picture questions and also what confuses me. Practice explaining concepts. make a teaching video concerning the nervous system( if I'm really feeling ambitious)

oops, just bombed that test today. Time to manage my time more wisely and keep up with lecture.
For tonight: look over lecture notes for Genetics chapter 15
do problem set
finish editing resume
