Stop making excuses ["not enough time" "I can't do my own work" etc.] and read the book.\n\nThe easiest way to summarize is to write down just words or phrases that capture the feeling or events in the chapter.  If you were writing an essay, then you'd need to organize them into points and a coherent structure.\n\nYou have it easier in that you just need to translate these words and phrases into lines of poetry.  Remember that poetry does NOT have to rhyme (unless you were directed to rhyme) but usually does have meter to it - a similar pattern to the emphases in each line.\n\nThink of it as a rap, which is all about rhythm, if this makes it easier.  In fact, most people consider lyrics to be poetry.  And you can rap, can't you?\n\nHope this helps!

quit being lazy? well, i know it's not that easy. you know that you can be lazy and still be good in studies at the same time. you just have to know what you're doing and be on top of everything. i'm lazy and i still get by. i just keep in mind which stuff are due when and when do i have to start working on them. if they start creeping up on me, i start doing them so by the time they're due, i have something to present. also, don't get behind on your classes. don't skip because you'll have to make up for that one way or another.

Have a cup of tea and relax with a good book. Surely you can take 20 min and do that before you finish your work.

Whenever I am procrastinating (which is more frequently than I would care to admit) I find it best to take the easiest, least drudge-like task and tackle it first. So start with an outline to the papers, write your name, your professors name leave a blank for the title, Section it off into sections reading "thesis statement", introductory paragraph etc. It' sjust easier that way. Ok, this said, I will now get a start on my two papers that are due on Thursday! Thanks for the reminder. (And by the way your thoughts aren't useless :)

Have a look at previous question papers. Form a pattern. Read these papers with lotta concentration. Try to get the way how paper setters ask question.\n\ntype of question\nfrom which chapter what topic has more weightage\nhow many marks are given to what chapter.\n\nskip less important chapter if time is less.\n\nALL THE BEST

NEVER! This year alone I've bought 8 or 9 books, can't recall. I'm currently reading 1 biography, 1 psychology, 1 marketing, and am always reading management books. I like many others enjoy the sanctity of a good read. Staying focused is so much easier with books - no message alerts, and you can turn the phone off. The Internet is a useful tool, but ultimately, books are a 'reality', something you can hold, see, and feel. You can also give them as gifts - the Internet, not quite, not yet anyway. Plus there'll be a load of librarians out of work without books. lol. One last thing, what happens when the power goes out? Technology stops, the sun comes up and there is light - the simple things are often the best. Cheers. L

I think you have to have a definite reason otherwise you procrastinate. One thing that can help is to make a list of things that will make you feel good if you complete the task. Then promise yourself that all you have to do is complete three things on the list each day. They can be small things like buy plants, pay bills or go to the dry cleaners. The deal is you have to complete three things each day no matter what. Good luck!

Well i recommend, taking notes on each chapter then re-reading your notes everyday....make flashcards of topics that are the most difficult for you!!!Do NOT wait until the last minute to study for the tests!  Good Luck!!!

I also think that we procrastinators have a bit of what I call overwhelm syndrome... It's not an official term, it's just what I call being really overwhelmed.  We procrastinate and procrastinate and THEN we have a TON of stuff to do, and then we are so overwhelmed by it all, we don't know where to start!\n\nSelf talk and discipline is really important.  Making lists.. REALISTIC lists that you can get done that day.  Like don't put 50 things on the list because you want to 'take care' of all the procrastination issues you have been 'avoiding' in the last 6 months.. you'll fail, and then while you may have achieved a significant amouont of stuff, you won't have completed your list, so then you'd be unmotivated to go that round again.\n\nBe advised.. making a list doesn't 'fix it' in a day or a week.. and the first lists you make WILL be too long because of all the things you WANT to do.. don't get discouraged, everything worth doing in life takes work :)  Be patient and reward yourself lots!\n\nGood Luck!

The best thing to do is to put your self to your work. do not do it just to comply with your project. do it as if you love doing it and you will stay awake. I love reading books. no matter how boring the books are i am kept awake till 4 a.m. just because i like books and reading.    Also, soak your feet in a bucket of water but it is quite not good for it was said to have mental side effects on the future.

something like this - find a focus, determine what sources (databases, library ...) you can use, start researching, redefine your focus (use guiding questions if there are holes in your research), look at your informaiton and determine if you need to research anything further ... hope that helps

Find a very boring book to read.  If that doesn't work, resign yourself to being a mess tomorrow.  Nitie-nite!

What kind of question is that? Judge a book by its cover... well for example if a book is hott pink a male nine times out of ten won't even read the back to find out what it is about. Thus totally passing a really good book.     UP YOURS.... Why... did somebody wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?   Lighten up, life can't be that bad.

Find a quiet, undisturbed place. Memorize important dates for events. Know why things occurred, like cause and effect. Most of all, study from your notes, and read from the book if you need more help. Make flash cards, quiz yourself. Make sure you know how to do math problems, and if you aren't comfortable, do the practice problems and check your answers. But study for Social Studies especially tonight ^_^ Good luck!!!

For me, I use this awesome little school planner. Every day, I write down my homework and upcoming tests/quizzes. I have it color coded so I know what has a higher priority. I also write down social events so that I can work my way around them.\n\nI suggest you making yourself a list of priorities and goals. Set goals for each day and force yourself to finish them before you start slacking off. The hardest thing is to start on things. Sometimes, I would find myself stalling from my homework, but don't let anything distract you. Take the first step and start it. Once you start, it's a whole lot easier.\n\nFor long term assignments, break up into small due dates. Have yourself finish something by a certain date. Break the big task into small little tasks.
