Mr. Shiver Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Procrastinators unite!....tomorrow.Math portfolio due tomorrow. Last chance to save my abysmal mark this year. I'm doubting myself, and it's making me want to avoid facing the word document I'm writing it in. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdrcill Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I don't procrastinate that much... though most of my work tends to be low-quality. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haney Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Procrastination is my number one problem- after the IB in general... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heronumbazero Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Procrastination is my numero uno problem as well - Sometimes you're like I don't want to do it...like right now. I should be working on a pile load of homework. But no...I'm frolicking away on the net.BTW, random question, Haney, how did you get a negative number of posts?

Esmeraldaa Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Everyday when I get home, I tell myself that I will start my homework right away but no... that almost never happens (unless I have like 3 bagillion things due the next day). I usually go straight for the computer and facebook,ibsurvival.com thestudentroom.com and then after 30mins-2 hours of surfing, reality hits.

TeeBlake Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Hey Guys , I was wondering if I'm the only one who is constantly suffering from procrastination . I realise this is the BIggest problem of mine !!! I know exactly what I should do but then my mind just can't stay focus .I know I should finish this and that , yet I never have the motivation nor energy or power to get started . I feel guilty day by day , especially during holidays !!!!! It seems I have lose all of my power during holidays . I stay up late and wake up late . So, I'm now really desperate to get things done . I think I am a loser ! Help : ( anyone can help me out ??? or share with us if you have the same problem of mine ... i don't actually have that problem...i get 8 hours of sleep each day...it actually only takes me 4 hours to finish all my hwi use the checkbox system...like put down my work to do in priority...but if you have something like math IA...don't put it like that...split it into like..three parts and spend an hour on it each day...adjust the time based on the workloadfor example...right now i havechem acids and basesbio labsbio EEgeo case studymath hwTOK essayso what i would do is...(btw, other than TOK and bio...our school goes by day 1 day 2 system...meaning, day 1 i have english, day 2 i have mandarin, geo, chem and math...thus alternates...so i don't ever have the same class one after another)so one day for me would be like- EE (one part....i split my EE into five parts...1 part per week...max 2 hours per day)- geo case study (same thing, split it into 3 parts...one part for every two days..max 1 hour per day)- TOK essay revision (30min max)- chemistry- Optional: mathit may look like a lot...but once you start doing it...it's not so bad...the reason i gave myself a time limit is because i know that i'm gonna get distracted, by facebook most of the time...so it's more ilke...1.5 hours of EE...30min relax with cmoputer...i hope this helps some peopleprocrastination is a b**** especially if you're in IB2....wiht all the IAs stacking up...a lot of my friends pull all nighters to do their work...i watch tv, go on internet, play and have fun like them...but i manages my time so my priorities are straight...

beccilini Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Woohoo. Procastination! That is a problem of mine. Right now I'm -trying- to work on a english task that was due to today, hmpf. I don't know why I always skip doing the english tasks.. i really hate them and i don't see any use for doing them. Now this is comparing two poems as a practise for "comparative commentary" but why the heck should ´we do this at home ? I will spend hours and hours and have help of internet and dictionaries when in reality it will be just me 2 texts and paper and pen! Also I had my World Lit to do last week so I proiritized that. And my english teacher thinks I'm really lazy, but it is mostly in his subject. And he is my mentor which is quiet bad since he is the one that talks to my parents and such.Anyway, now in IB2 I have decided to be more organized and stop doing things in the last minute. Hehe last week I did a biology lab-commentary thingie on the chemistry lesson just before the biology. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aliaandraa Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 *sigh I've picked up a terrible case of procrastination over the years,I used to be such a hard worker... and now I'm slacking off and my grades are slipping as I know.the horror. haha...well I'm just saying, don't fall into it!Because once you do, it's going to be a really hard time to get out of it...trust me, I'm trying. I want to do well this year, thank you. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkSpider Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Yeah, have to say I'm a pretty big procrastinator, especially when I have facebook and the internet available in like 3 seconds whenever I want to.Anyways, I try to get around it by forcing myself to do things, and staying at school till late. I'll often stay in the art room till 5 after school working on my projects, then I'll go straight to the math room where there will actually be other IB students sitting around doing math. By the time I get home and eat dinner at 7, I've gotten a good 4 hours of HW done already, since lunch block is pretty much a homework block as well. Really, the key for me has been starting to work and just not stopping, which leads to me feeling okay about spending time at home slacking off.Only problem is the weekends Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejeroth Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Every single saturday I try to get up at 10am and start doing hw. It has not worked once for me. I always end up screwing off for like 4-5 hours before I even get started. Today is another one of those days, I've only done about 20minutes of homework and I've been at it since 10:30!!! I have reached the apex of dilatory. I really shouldn't be an IB diploma student. I am way to much of a slacker!! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsmike Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I dont think there is anyone In Ib that doesn't procrastinate, its just the ib way. At least it is here in fort myers. Im a prime example, should be working on math ia due tomorrow yet im posting here. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 What's really nice is that all of us are procrastinator's together. So if one of us made it, so can the rest.There's hope for us after all! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KewlKidV Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I wouldn't say the IB is my problem, it's more like the procrastination it triggers.Welcome to the club. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capa Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Is it just me or do all people procrastinate with homework and other important stuff.I tend to start chatting with friends and being on facebook rather than do my homework.I felt I had to start this in order to confirm (or the opposite) that I am not the only one. That would feel better, so please answer Capa... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deissi Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 In addition to the activities you mentioned, I'm right now procrastinating here on IBS. Everyone does that, don't worry. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughie Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Man, I'm a pro at procrastinating. I've done loads of research on my English IOP about three months before the actual presentation, and I've only written the speech up the night before (and that day's morning). With my maths portfolios, I tend to leave it till the last minute, often stay up the whole night doing it, still don't finish it, go to school and work like mad on it during recess, lunchtime and even class time.It's amazing I still manage to get 6 or 7s in my IAs.I even procrastinate on packing my stuff up to go home from boarding house Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
