how can you cure?

Question: i suffer from extreme procrastination, the issue is that i was given several assignments over the summer, this was like 2 months ago and i decide to start them now and its due monday and i have to read like three books, due essay format questions, do about 200 maths problems, and i can't continue, i'm super stressed to the point that i'm crying. i don't learn, i always wait to the last moment..... HELP ME....:P

Answers:
You need to start breaking things into more manageable chunks. So, next time, do say, 50 questions a week, or whatever. Mini deadlines, that you create, mean that if you miss one, you have another one to make.

For right now, you are just going to have to get on with it and do it! I'm sorry, but there is no way out other than this.

Can you find a friend to help with you and sit with you and actively study with you? It might help if you have someone super focused who can make you get on with the questions. You then have to make sure that you actually get the work done.

Get a palm pilot or a dayplanner, and actively use it. Write down dates when things are due, and refer to it all the time!!!

MAybe you work better and more efficiently under pressure and that is why you do this. I am the same way. I was also in summer school and would wait until the weekend to finish my work before due on monday. That is just our way of doing things. Yes I realise it causes stress but maybe we produce better work when we do this. If you cannot continue ask your professor for an extension.

I dont think there is a cure.... Just force your self to do it even when you dont want to... try starting it when you get the assignments.... I have pretty bad procastination.... but when i tell myself and make myself do the assignments first.. i feel a lot less stressed out on time.. Try doing all the easy (or harder--depending on whatever you want) assignments first to get then out of the way... then work on the harder assignments that will take you more time

well, there's not really a "cure" for procrastination, i agree with what has been said, like break things into chunks, focus on just one thing at a time. it really is a mindset, you have to say, i am going to do this, and nothing else until it is done. you basically just have to sit down and crunch.
