I'd try to answer your question, but this couch is sooooooooo comfortable and I'm a little sleepy.  Maybe tomorrow.

You need to make the decision to make time.  Maybe working less isn't an option right now, so instead, decide that things will get unpacked when they get unpacked.  Make a point of spending the night at a hotel once a month if you can.  Or, have a quicky in a cheap motel during lunch.  Find creative ways to get together to keep things goinf until your schedule works itself out.

Good quesiton. I have had somewhat the same problem in the past. What I started doing was making lists of what needed to be done & always made sure that I put free time on the list as well. You need to find a balance & make the most of the free time that you have available.\n\nHere's an example: I listed all of the cleaning chores I needed to accomplish in a month & then worked out how often each needed to be done. When I was finished, I realized that there were really only one or two things each day, so long as I kept to my schedule. I then mapped out time that I could use as free time (which, for me, means without family at home) & worked it into the shcedule. When I hit those times, I just make sure that I do exactly what I want to do & nothing more.\n\nThe funny thing is that making yourself adhere to a schedule of sorts for only a few weeks has some amazing effects...I'm now the type of person who will stop to make sure that there is nothing else that needs to be done before I take my "me" time. Tell you one thing though, if this house is spotless, dinner is cooked & the laundry is done, you'd best consider how dear your life is to you if you ask me to do something else once I've decided to take my hour or two of solitude!\n\nIn the end, you can train yourself to be more productive & to balance free time against what needs to be done. As for real ambition, you might need to consider what goals you have & work toward them slowly. The main trick is accomplishment; if you set goals for yourself, even small ones, & you accomplish them, you will start to make it a habit...accomplishment breeds more accomplishment &, in many ways, ambition & accomplishment are one in the same...\n\nHope this helps!

I am a neat person except when it comes to my room!I am so bad about it that when I do decide to do it it takes forever!So trust me on this!Make a list!!!Write out unspecific things-like around bed-then do around your bed- make bed- under bed but everything you pick up has to go where it should be!If it isn't in reach,make piles(i always have a make-up pile, clothes pile, jewelry pile,GET RID OF PILE!ect.)The trick to not taking forever is playing music that gets you pumped rediculously loud.And get rid of things!Things that just lay around that you never use can go to good-will or other charities like that.So you get your room clean,listen to great music,and help others.Doesn't sound so bad huh?!

Try these simple tips;\n\n1. Drink a plenty of plain water!\n\n2. Chew your food slowly\n\n3. Avoid taking food that kept in the bottle or jug. you will not realize how much you ate. But pick up a handful of it and put in a small plate.\n\n4. Cut your favorite fruits into a cute slices to replace unhealthy snack.\n\n5. Bring a bottle of mineral water anywhere you go. You'll find that you're not interested to buy carbonated drink. Even when you feel thirsty!\n\n6. Get enough sleep. Tiredness will make you eat more high calories foods.\n\n7. Take your foods away from TV. Removes all the foods to the kitchen. It will make you feel lazy to take it from there.\n\n8. Brush your teeth and your tongue. Making this will reduce your desire to chew.\n\n9.  You can take any food that you want. But remember! Take in a small amount!\n\nHave a try!

Establish priorities.\n\nHave a daily schedule as specific as you need it.  YOu might even need 5 minute chunks to start.\n\nHave a big master schedule for when assignments are due, appointments, tests, etc.\n\nDe-clutter your environment.   Often we are distracted and taken off task by "stuff" around us.  Try to keep things tidy. \n\nSet realistic short term goals for yourself.  Write them down.\n\nStop doing unnecessary stuff.  Sometimes we try to do too much.  But don't put off the hard stuff that really must be done - no time like the present - get it done now.\n\nPlan your day.\n\nAsk for help when it is reasonable, but don't expect too much of others.\n\nAs much as possible do your study in day light hours.  Research suggests taht one hour of study in day light is equal to about an hour and a half of study after dark.\n\nTake short breaks.  Generally marathon work sessions don't work for most people.  But make sure you end your break on time.  \n\nThis one might sound silly, but get enough rest.\n\nDo the most difficult things when you are most alert, not when you are tired.\n\nDo the most important stuff first.\n\nSchedule some exercise and relaxation time everyday.  It will energize you.\n\nI hope this helps.  Good luck!

buy yourself a large cannon and point it at your backside!!\n:-) seriously though I found the book 'overcoming procrastination' by Dr Wendy Dryden really helpful, but that'll only work if you read it.......\na good tip is just to tell yourself you'll do 10 mins and only 10 mins and then if you want to you can stop. generally I find that once I start I get involved and end up completing it . it's just getting started thats the trouble. also on a more serious note really bad procrastination can be part of a bigger problem like depression. please seek help if you think you might need it.

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.

Make a list of priorities the most important tasks go at the top of your list....then make a schedule each task has its own time set during the day.Give yourself little breaks of 15-30 mins to unwind during the day or just use that time to do something for yourself.Then stick to the schedule,never let anything distract you.Multi-tasking is another secret.You may have to jugle a few tasks at once for example.With a little organization,and commitment you will be able to more effectively organize your time! Good luck!

Make a promise with yourself that you are going to spend only a certain amount of minutes a day of myspcae. Make sure to keep close count and don't cheat. The next day or two days lower the amount of time until you don't  get on barely at all. Soon you will learn that you don't need to get on all the time. Also finding another hobby or activity to do will help. Read a book or do homework. Something to take your mind off of it. This worked for me and one of my website addictions!

for starters, stop posting messages on the internet. \n\nI use something called Delayed Gratification. You have to condition yourself to save the easy or enjoyable tasks until you have completed the more difficult or mundane ones. Or if all of your work is terrible, then tell yourself you will not chat online for at least an hour, or until you finish XYZ task. Then reward yourself with something fun, or at least something easy. Then repeat.\n\nVery often the things you dread doing and put off are not so bad once you start them.\n\nGood luck.

It's very brave of you to give up all these habits..esp the world we live in nowadays where everyone is doing the above so casually and so often.\nSpending time on ebay is a great way i think to pass your time and healthy to (as long as you dint get obsessed with shopping!)\nWell done!!

I'd like to change my lack of a will-power.  I think I'm entirely too lazy, but I don't care enough to do anything about it.  Oh, and I'd change my hair.

make small changes that will add up to big changes over time.  Try doing one of these things, and every week add a new one:\n-drink 6 glasses of water a day\n-park you car at the other end of the parking lot\n-walk in place while you watch tv\n-try limiting yourself to one hour of tv a day\n-do 10 sit ups first thing in the morning\n-cut your caffine intake in half\n-cut your achool intake in half\n\nthe idea is not to try to do it all at once.  It will be too much change if you do, and most often, people give up.  So instead, just make little changes and when it has become a new habit, add another one to your routine.\n\ngood luck!!
