how did you get a control of your procrastination? bc im, for the most part, litteraly going through what you're going through minus drugs.

You categorically don't smoke pot, don't drink, and don't use drugs anymore, period.

meditating helps. setting a schedule for the day, with some 'appointments' for the most important things, and a list of priorities for the rest. use this sheet in it's entirety. a partial list wont work.

it really took me developing a thing to say to myself like a phrase/belief that really kicks me out of the desire to put things off. like i just hold on to this feeling that things are NOT going to be okay if i dont do what i need to do, and i envision what it will feel like in 2, 3, 4 hours after i've put off this task yet again. and i remind myself that it's not going to go away, and that to delay it is to increase my suffering. you have to really ruminate on that idea. seriously sit down today, and take an hour a full hour to yourself. immediately after reading this. and just write it over and over, variations of what i just said. absorb that idea into every neuron of your body and embrace it as fact. once you've done that, procrastinating will seem horrid and you'll be afraid to do it because you've very really accepted what the consequences are.

sorry my post was not very clear. the not going to class was from procrastination. and i have had a procrastinating issue since like 5th grade, way before i ever did drugs.

though that is still a very good point.

Well if you're lazy, you should develop the mental toughness to not procrastinate. Get up a half hour early every morning and run two miles, rain or shine.

OP, are you a younger me who found how to time travel?????

go to your campus' library and stay there for a good 4 hours; don't take a laptop unless you need to write a paper, only use your phone for music (if that helps you concentrate, if not, airplane mode), and above all else, find a quiet place. I usually had evening classes and stayed til closing.

another thing that helped me out was joining a club within my field of study. Having peers to bounce notes and ideas off of helped me plenty, plus, I was able to rely on them for help with other things and make friends I can't see myself without.

download the MyHomework Student Planner app; take the first day of classes to add in all your assignments and important dates. There's a few other apps I would recommend, but use that one to begin with.

also, as another anon suggested, get up earlier, get some exercise and drink some coffee (I recommend Juan Valdez's Volcan). Deprive yourself of sleep for a full 24 hours, then, sleep a maximum of 7 hours which ends at 6:30AM (5:30AM if you're feeling brave); make this your permanent sleep schedule.

most universities have counselling services. not a lot of people know that they provide time management/note taking/etc help.
