Kansas Stormcursed he/him Posted February 7 Posted February 7 4 minutes ago, Usseewa said: ty kancis "Tomorrow's gonna be hell" Lol frrrr any (helpful) tips to help out a procrastinator? (pls pls pls don't suggest a planner i tried it on like two separate occasions and it only helps when im super behind or super stressed. when im normal stressed, idk. maybe ill try it again. but like actually helpful tips on how to not save literally everything for the day it's due. or the day before. Also i somehow am literally never late, and always get things done on time, despite massive procrastination.) also why is ur day gonna be a living hell tmrw? No, I don't appreciate planners. Honestly the best thing I can suggest that helps me is just keeping a running list and whenever you don't have anything to do just pick a random thing off the list and do it. Aand because I'm working a booth at anime con tomorrow, which means I have to socialize

Reward system. -every success gets a treat, mental, physical, you pick Batch it. -Don't do it a little everyday, just sit down and pick a day-or just a time, like the morning- then batch it. This doesn't work for everyone but it works for me. Music. -classical is better for me bc other wise I get distracted but if its quiet thats ok. But you do what works for your brain. And a list, but with small items not large ones, bc whenever you check one of its a minor dompamine hit. So if it was like "Write the essay" That sounds overwhelming but if it was "Write the opening paragraph" Thats slightly better. They can be as small as you need them too. 19 hours ago, Kansas Stormcursed said: No, I don't appreciate planners.

Ye...I was listening to J-Pop (my new fave genre) but I find I can't concentrate with word music, so I tried Lo-Fi in the past day or two and it was much better (I think). There's something about classical (or jazz) that makes me feel like crap kinda. More like it doesn't help me focus and isn't calming and isn't fun. 7 minutes ago, VieB13 said: And a list, but with small items not large ones, bc whenever you check one of its a minor dompamine hit.

Yeah... the thing is that lists and stuff are too much work (well, they are in my irrational brain) and I just don't wanna do them. Maybe a written one would work better... cuz it's easier. Also one in a doc or spreadsheet or wtvr is...just differnt. clicking a checkbox (with no animations or anything dopamine-rewarding) rather than at least paper lets you cross it out with ur hands. 10 minutes ago, VieB13 said: ADHD is the summerization of "two sides of the same coin" lol Hm?

Hm? Yeah, so if you have an essay, instead of doing a little bit every day, you pick a time or day to do it. I'm homeschooled, so for instance I do Language Arts and Writing on Mondays, generally in the mornings, with the afternoons off for the most part minus catchup, then Math is Tuesdays while Wednesday Thursday is Science and History, while Friday is Misc. -Yesss and for me particularly the reading thing, as I absorb much better in one sitting. I also read crazy fast so multiple sittings is kinda a waste lol I dont do all subjects every day, I batch them so once I do it its done. Works well for me, but if it doesn't for you, I have 0 judgment. Good! I'm glad the music works. I don't do Jazz either. Keep with the trial and error. I use paper and pencil for almost everything.. but if docs or a spreadsheet works better thats ok too. I find something like that on a screen distracting, and crossing something out in pencil on a list is much more satisfiying for me. Again, the trial and error, and do what works for you. This is what works for me and everyone's brains are different. Good luck! 1 minute ago, Honors Ghost said: Hey viieee What no cheer this time? Aww

Not always, luckily. I use multiple sittings as a procrastination tool. I can tell myself "oh, I read a few pages. It's been an hour or two. I'm tired. I did enough work today already.

If you're struggling with reading, work on writing or art instead and come back to it later. ...I have some practice in these areas if you can't tell.... Um. Tips for retaining.. I have a minor photographic memory so less there... but if you (if you can) underline or highlight, that might help, as then as you do a similar motion the pieces might connect in you brain. Or read it out loud, I find this helps it soak into my brain if its not clicking, and that helps the "reading the same sentence over and over again" thing Technology is distracting as rust. Don't feel guilty for falling for it, that's how its designed, and I do it too. If its the phone, put it in a different room. If its thoughts.. well, if you get sidetracked, try doodling your thoughts or writing little notes in the margins, or on another piece of paper, just so that they're there and not in your head. If its the computer, I mean, you probably need that for school... do not disturb is the best I got, unfortunately. Make sure all other tabs are closed so its not a visual distraction.
