The way I get my motivation is from:
1. Duplicating or remembering the depression of failure.
2. Visualising what it would be like to become the best in X,Y,Z subject.
3. Rivalries with other people.

I don't know about you, but I am pretty competitive. Since you watch One Piece, I know this sounds a little strange, but as one of my favourite characters is Zoro, I kinda try to adopt his attitude towards my studies. I don't need to elaborate but I manipulate the plot of One Piece to my goals and thats what mainly motivates me. I doubt it would work for you since I am a weirdo xD

I am competitive in school but lazy at home. I can't visualise anything (success, failure, etc.).
:/

On an unrelated note: Who's the guy in your dp again (always forget his name)? Is that the 'law' guy who manipulate body parts?

I haven't been near as productive as I should be, but on one hand, I've gotten a little done which is more than normal? Normally I do nothing until the weekend before we go back.

Trafalgar Law <3 I dig his coat and hat.

I don't know about visualising, but I try to make studying as exciting and motivational as possible. Probably why anime (or One Piece in particular) plays a big role in my life because you know, they teach you to never give up and all that crap. Get cracking boi.

Yeh that's same with me. I've had 2 very productive days and a few lazy days, overall its still more than I usually do but no where near enough for year 12 I don't think...

Anyone want to block BOS? Use a free student program called 'cold turkey'. It automatically blocks all social media sites (fb, youtube, reddit) and you can add extra sites to block.
I'm attempting to stamp out this procrastination by next year, is it possible?

I have my half yearlies first day back next term and i've only written legal notes, wow.

^I use Leechblocker sometimes near exams similar thing.

So I originally wrote a list of 34 things to do. Then I decided some of the things on it were low priority/list way too long so I moved them out off. So now I have a list of 30, and I've only done 12...40% is not too great, hopefully I get a few things done tomorrow, I'd like to get 70% of the list done for when I go back on Tues!

I haven't done much :/

I've only revised weaknesses in 2u maths, improved one of my 4u topics (again my only weakness) and consolidated nearly one topic of PDHPE. Dayum.

Just procrastinated today by decorating my folder (my old ones clip thing totally broke).

Now another form of procrastinating is finding my winter uniform ready for Tues.
