I Battle With Chronic Procrastination

I don't get it. I have 2 assignments due this week. It's holiday season and I haven't going back home yet for this reason. And I don't even open my laptop to start. I deferred last semester because of burn out and I thought I can do it this semester. But no, I'm paralyze. I can't think. I can't find any reason to do it and they're my final assignment. I will be free after this, even that's not enough motivation for me.

I feel your pain. Try setting a tiny goal like writing 20 words or reading one page. It might lead on to more work, and if it doesn't hell it's better than zero

I've tended to suffer from this all my life but probably not as severely as you. In the end it all gets done but with a lot of pressure. I've decided that I work best under that pressure but it has consequences for a peaceful mind. I agree with down2business start with a simple target just to break the barrier of nothingness and go from there. If you can get a friend to support and nudge you gently that might help. I know it can be overwhelming but it can also be overcome. I know that because I was going to put this reply off til tomorrow. Best of luck. 👍
