SushiMonstar Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Yeah, the sense of "the other kids can do it, why not you?" really gets to me.I like epic music to help me start a "period of study". I gives me an epic start Same here. Also I start thinking, "Better be done now than later = Less things to worry about." 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BustinJieber Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Open up a word document of a monstrous bio lab. It makes me feel that I've accomplished a lot (when I've really done nothing) so that I can continue to work better. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest saturday Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Not much usually... I made a bet for a 7 in English A1 HL though... Which is pretty motivating. I like English though, so I guess it's kind of a "I like this , so therefore I will make an effort." Mostly I just motivate myself before exams so I don't fail them completely... 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 I admit I am less motivated with the year at an end, but in general a few things:- A goal- I am very competitive- Wanting to make my parents proud, they work so hard.- I can't take the feeling afterwards where I mess up, and I KNOW I could have done better.Good luck. Just sit down and DO IT! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekhangel Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 How I deal with procrastination? I do not. We have all read beautiful words in the IBO guides, which can all be summed up as idealistic blah blah. I am an extremely lazy person, and no matter what is the deadline, I'll always have it done the day before, ech. Perhaps, this is the reason for my grades being so crappy.My IA History first draft deadline is in two days, so is the CAS Diary (of course I haven't been writing that regularly, why should I - not to mention it's all fake). Then I had to hand in two lab reports for my physics teacher, I haven't done so either. Oh, well. The end of the year ceremony is in 10 days. Guess I'll have to make it till then. Unless the CAS co-ordinator (also known as devil) finds out all my CAS is neatly improvised bull****. Then IB damned.Whoever reading it now's got a pile of homework or uneasy conscience about their CAS - ya better get to it, pal. But heck, how does it help. I've got my CAS Diary Word file opened in front of me and can't even get my butt up to write it.Sorry for eventual language mistakes, I've also procrastinated on studying for the majority of exams in English.

It usually requires some outside force though like parents or friends or some really big goal or reward. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zibblay Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 When I have problems to get started, I usually get uneasy. Especially after a few months of procrastination. When this happens, I make myself a cup of coffee and get to work. Uneasiness is a pretty good motivator. Usually I don't have problems to get started, because I like the things i do. But of course there is those stupid little task and damn essays and written responses and etc etc etc. Cup of a fine Brazilian coffee always helps. Especially when you've procrastinated the whole day and finally start working when bats fly out from their caves. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tilia Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Starting things earily is also good. For some reason it is much easier to open a saved word document called "lab report" containing at least some words, than to open a completely new one and start to write...

Lindsay Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 People find being friendly competition really helps them get motivated, everyone wants to do better and this ambition drives them to do better. Otherwise, thinking of success at the end can also help as the process to get there is through hard work and efficient effort. Just remember: It'll be worth it in the end!

LMaxwell Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 well seeing as I'm only aiming for 42 in IB, I can kind of relax. Music is really good, or doing sport pre-work is also motivating for me. But as I said, only 42. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
