My motivation came at the end of high school. Yep. My procrastination actually lessened when I got into college. Plus, now I procrastinate and work at the same time. I believe they call it multi-tasking(I love multi-tasking. It feeds my senses with just so much more information. It's great.)

I don't know any who doesn't procrastinate with school. I can't think of a time where I haven't

I also have no time to procrastinate, seeing that I'm stuck with enough responsibilities for 3 average people. So multi-tasking allows me to procrastinate in comfort, while also getting work done.

Part of the problem, too, may be actual resistance to school, although resistance can come up even with things you actually want to do. Stephen Pressfield has this term called "The Resistance" in his discussion of the creative process.

If part of the problem is simply lack of energy, or feeling drained, it can help to look for things that do energize you, and find a way to toggle between tasks, doing enough energizing work (writing a story about what you'd rather be doing than school) to counterbalance the energy drain from the school tasks.

Re: motivation, "Drive" author Dan Pink says that people need three things for high-level motivation: autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Very often, school consists of none... but if you look for ways to have those things in your life, it might help your overall motivation levels.

Heh, nice video. Motivated me to actually do some homework (it counts towards my NCEA credits and I've been putting it off for ages).

xcriteria, are you aware of any studies that show that music may help students do their work? I find it much more easier to do my work when I'm listening to my music than doing it in the tedium of the classroom.

I work best in silence(though distractions and sounds won't bother me). Course when I'm done with my work, said silence will also really speed up my urge to nap since I'm not engaging my brain.
