Procrastination-Elimination, More About Procrastination

When you're home all day, and you want to play, get your work done. Procrastination is a bad illness. Once you do it once, it repeats itself. If you want to play or do something, you think, well, I am home all day, I will do it later. But the problem is, you won't. If you do all of your stuff, you will have time to do all the things you want to do. Right now is school. If you were in the middle of school, would you just get up and walk outside? No! Of course you wouldn't. Why is it different for homeschooling? It is not. You need to fight the temptation to go outside to play. Use the reward of going outside as a tool to get your schoolwork done. You will get your work done faster if you get to do something fun after. Look at your to-do list, get it done, and then you can play. The trick is, to go into a different room than your toy. Once that is done, the temptation is gone. Don't think about it. One time, my mom gave me a list: History, Typing, Computer programming, Math, then read. She then went to workout and run errands. I started eating my breakfast, and I read my book at the same time. I finished my breakfast, and continued to read all morning. After awhile, Mom came home and found that I had done nothing except read my book. My list took me until 7 o'clock that night! I learned my lesson that night. Do not procrastinate!
