Procrastination

[alaskah]

I love posting in forums. I'm still stuck at a 9/day limit, so when I get going, I have to stop and wait. Lol.

Then I forget to come back the next day, so I disappear for a few days. I could get that 30 posts in just 2 days if I didn't have a limit

Thanks for all the input.  I guess I will have to be more diligent.  Hopefully I will get around to posting at least one per day.  Maybe by the end of the next month, it will become a habit.

I'm a big procrastinator.  Sometimes my procrastination has cost me money.  I hate when that happens.

Every month I tell myself that I will not wait until the last few days to complete my posts but I continue to do the same thing.  Any suggestions on how to overcome this problem.  What do you do to force yourself to stop putting things off until later.

Hello!

Hello before I opened this forum post I was thinking the same thing. Why do I always have to wait until the very last minute to do my posts? Afterall it is an easy $3 which many of us gladly needs. I guess it's up to us to value this $3 post enough to keep posting and earning. If the money is not motivation enough then what is?

At nine posts max per day that leaves four days of the month you need.  I usually make a scheduled on my calendar (like an appointment) and repeat it each month.  Usually I show up at two weekends a month to make the 30 post requirement.

That happens to me too and I don't know why. I have tried a few times to do it a the beginning of the month and then I skip a day and one day turns into two weeks.

Lol & I thought I was ms procastination USA! I'm the same but now I just don't get upset about it. It won't help you being upset. I think the reason is because of the rush of getting it done to the last minute/sec you feel pump up in the end when you get it done. Probably a fall back of getting, tasks like homework done at the last minute/sec at do date. Just try to do it as you go & you'll get it done on time.

Writing lists can help! I've started school this past year and I find that writing lists actually makes me feel obligated to check off everything off my daily list. It's a drag sometimes, but it really does help.

I like getting things done early so I finish mine within the first week of the month.  Put a sticky note on your calendar as a reminder.

I try to do a few everyday but sometimes I get behind, it seems like I have been overwhelmed with health and family stuff for months now.

Set a goal for yourself to do a little bit of each thing you are avoiding every day. For example, if you are putting off posting in the Community Forum on FC, just set a goal of doing only 2 or 3 posts every day until you reach your 30 minimum needed for payout.

I'm behind on posts this month. Usually I have 15 done by today but I'm in the disorganized state where I'm not getting anything done on schedule. Of course I am doing family history for a friend of mine so that does take a long time.

I am not a procrastinator.  When I have something to do, I do it.  The idea of something building up doesn't work for me.

as long as you can make up the putting off time, you good to go

I would love to be able to do at least a couple  a day, But just like today , I hadn't been on the computer for 5 days. so  now I am behind by a lot. But when you are tied up or  out of town it is hard to do.
