So Im in grade 11 but i've developed bad habits in the past few years and I can't get myself to WORK. It sucks because I used to be so hardworking and ambitious and now i just put everything off and eventually never do it.

also, the internet is way distraction.

anyone have any advice?

" Step one: Log off of DS.
Step two: Close the internet browser.
Step three: Do you're homework.

Yes, it's more difficult than that, but it takes your own self will. "

" I can totally relate- I procrastinate ALL the time. I have learned a thing or two to get myself to focus. Like, when I get home from school, I take about an hour to myself to wind down. I set aside periods of time for myself to work; for example, I'll give myself, say, 45 minutes to do my chemistry and then I have to be finished. This may sound corny, but I also use a motivation system- like when I finish an assignment I get to call a friend for ten minutes or watch TV for a bit. Hope this helps =) "

" I totally know what your mean, I'm supposed to be doing an assignment- in actual fact this has reminded me that I have to do it.
I know it's hard but know when the deadline is, then work out how much time you have. Even if it's ages away just think how good you will feel when you've done it. There is no way to beat procrastination but with self will. It's up to you and you have to forcee yourself to do it. Good luck *now where's my assignment*. ^.^ "
