The Evil Beast Procrastination

If you're like me, aka if you're human, you probably suffer from a mental illness known as procrastincation. For those that don't know what that is, procrastination is putting something off for later, again and agian and again in most cases. It's never really serious until that day you need it to be done, and when that time comes so does the stress.
The real question however, is how do you get rid of this evil beast O_O Well... there are some simple ways to help stay on task.

1. Get rid of any distractions! That includes iDevices, good books, internet accessing devices and younger siblings. Now the younger sibling part is probably the hardest. Talk to your parents, hopefully they'll do something to keep them busy. As for devices, just make sure you're in a separate room.
2. Get comfy! No one wants to work in a place that's too hot or too cold. That's a distraction too! In a way...
3. Have a little healthy snack! Okay... I might not follow the healthy part myself, but honestly, chips aren't gonna get you any brain circulation, fruit though is good. Even a sandwhich would be nice. Nothing messy though.
4. Music! Music is often seen as a distraction, but if it's relaxing, or you know you won't get distracted by it, then by all means bring it along! If it's on an iPod touch though.... Try to get something that doesn't have internet access or apps.
5. Alarms clocks ^^ You don't want to overwork yourself, so it's always good to assign a reasonable time for each day that you work. Schedules are good, so calendars are handy along with alarm clocks.
6. Potty. I know this one sounds goofy, but you need to get rid of that extra "bagagge" before you start working u.u
7. Peppy! Yeah, it's hard to be peppy about something you don't feel like doing, but just give yourself a little talk. Imagine how much easier you're making things and tackle it head on! Get violent with it if you must.

Of course, some of these probably won't work for you if not all :/ They're really simple, so I'm sure you've probably already thought of them. However I find them helpful at times when I need to get something done. Always remember to take your time too! Rushing will just get you a bad grade, or if you're not in school, a bad look I guess. I don't know, I don't have a job XD

If you do happen to be reading this though and you have another tip, comment and I'll add it with the rest! I doubt anyone will read this though XD Also, make sure you're well rested and give yourself a little reward for after. Rewards are always a good follow up to hard work.
