balancing work/school/life/fencing/etc

How do people do this? anyone out there overcome that wonderful trait of procrastination?  How do you balance school and life? I’m trying to figure out how to get homework done and a paper at the same time- how do people break it down into manageable bits? How do you kick yourself into gear?

Since I’m on here when i have a paper and a lot of homework, I figured I’d make it at least a little constructive.  I miss high school- I used to be one of the smart ones. What the hell happened?

you grew up, that’s what happened. I’m sure your still smart, you’re just having trouble balancing everything. First you need to prioritize, figure out what needs to be done NOW, then do it. Give yourself some fun though too, don’t do everything all at once. Live Life!

Yeah, I’m supposed to be studying for a certification test right now. Maybe you’re asking the wrong people… heh. Good luck-

Heh, I’ve been procrastinating for months now, so I can’t be of much help, either. I guess just focus and work at it. Be well, friend.

rofl. I wonder the same thing my dear. You’re still smart, I am the one that got dumber haha. How to do two things at once? I really just got really good at BSing papers that weren’t that important to me. (a 5 page paper for leadership took me 2 hrs vs 10 hrs on a 3pg paper for lab). Procrastination is like landing on the beaches of Normandy. I wish you luck, cos I certainly lost heh <3

wooooow my note made no sense I apologize. I was a bit sleepy when i wrote it.. and possibly intoxicated. I know you can do it, it seems overwhelming but I have faith in you and I know you can do it!

My first two years of college I felt exactly the same way. This year I decided that I was going to change and make a four point if it killed me. I started just doing little bits of homework in between classes, as soon as I knew about them. Like that paper, you can always start on an outline or write a paragraph or something in between a class. It works really well. ~
