Beating Procrastination

I'm trying so hard not to procrastinate this year. I have been doing incredibly well since this summer, and it's really a lot harder than it seems. I am constantly in the presence of distraction and temptation between television, my Xbox, my iPhone, my laptop (with or without the Internet!), and even with merely my dog or roommate!

Either way, I've figured out a way to maintain a schedule and reminder/alarm system for just about everything from academics, like class times and homework allotments, to basic living essentials, like bathing, eating, and even sleeping. It's good for routine, and I'm hoping that one day I will not have to rely on alarms and schedules because it will become habit. All in due time.

Anyway, my graphic design teacher posted a really great list about beating procrastination online the other day. I only just saw it today, and it's actually set as my MacBook's wallpaper!

I found the list completely insightful and figured I would share it for whoever may see it. It's not impossible to beat the bad habit of procrastination, but it is challenging. You have to work really hard. Self-discipline isn't a tool that develops overnight. 

I know.
