Why am I such a lazy b@stard?

[misle]

Good lord, what is wrong with me?

I have a huge exam tomorrow morning and I have barely studied all weekend. I have to do good of this exam. It's not like I have anything better to do. I didn't do anything yesterday, and I laid around until 4pm today. Then I found other crap to do instead. Now it looks like I'm going to have to pull an all-nighter just to get a decent grade on this exam.

Why do I do this to myself? I also need to start working out but I can't even get myself to do some push-ups and sit-ups everyday.

I think I am void of will power. Any way to rememdy this or break these ridiculous habits?

Put on some pants, go outside, breathe outside air. Unless you like in LA, then you should go to an O2 bar. Air = good for studying.

Maybe you only under the pressure of last-minute panic.

Or maybe I'm just a retard, because now I'm sitting here surfing Anandtech instead of studying! Argh! Where's that brick? I probably need to hit myself with it a few times.

I have the same problem, but I do well on tests.

No no, Step 1 should be to ask the mods for a vacation.

Thats what I do. I grab all my stuff and bike a mile to the library. As it gets later at night, it'll get colder outside and give me less incentive to go back home until I'm done

 

[misle]

I don't like libraries unless I'm studying with a group. I don't mind the Engineering library, but it closes at 9pm. Our larger campus library is open until 2 am, but that place sucks. The lighting is terrible and I always get headaches. The only place for me to study in my house is next to my computer and I usually have some music playing to help block out the other noise in the house (roommate).

I think I really lack motivation. I work full time and I've been working on my BSEE for about 3.5 years now and I still have 1.5 to go. I'm just getting sick of it all. I try to motivate myself by looking at jobs I could get after graduation, but I really don't know what I want to do with this degree. There seems to be too many things that I could do. My head hurts just thinking about it.

Time to go study some more.

meh, you're barely scratching the surface of lazy.

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

You need to get ahold of as many 'Beavis and Butthead' tapes that you can. Sit down and watch them sequentially, marathon style. By the end of your session, you will have either have transformed into Beavis/Butthead and will no longer care that you are lazy or that you procrastinate, or sufficiently horrified yourself into action

 

[misle]

Shut up Beavis!

I miss those shows. Too bad the DVD's don't have the videos. That was the best part of the show.

LOL i love beavis and butthead, but as soon as i watch like 3-4 of them back to back, i become retarded and useless...

 

[wobbuffet]

10.5 starts now!! lol... FORGET HW!!

 

[misle]

It might be starting now on the west cost, but here in Missouri, it went off over an hour ago.

 

[johnjbruin]

you'll be fine.
i was like this too - waited till the last minute and then studied my ass off.
didnt do great on tests but did pretty good.
i think as you get older this habit start to change. for me it was really bad in college. now i do all my stuff ahead of time and even surprise myself.
i think its an issue of avoidance rather than laziness. if you think about it - you probably arent lazy in other things - hook up a new computer from the box - you'd probably do it in a snap.
what ends up happenning is that you avoid your hw and tests.

what changed this for me was that i started doing them earlier - this happened after one day i decied that what the fvck am i doing at this instance - simply avoiding.

now i end up with free time after i finish up stuff thats due like a week later.

you will too - just face what you have to do.

 

[Wuffsunie]

I'll tell you later.

 

[UncleWai]

talk about in deep sh|t, I have an inclass essay to prepare, 10 possible ethic questions.
For 5 weeks, I haven't read a single page from the book.
Right now I am just reading the lecture outline and online websites to formulate some answers.

 

[Whisper]

Yeah, I'm right there with you. I have a final tomorrow at noon that I haven't quite started studying for yet...and another on Friday (along with a major project for the same class) at 8am.

Then again, it's my last year, and I'm graduating on Saturday. It's taking some serious soul searching to come up with the motivation for these last few exams.

 

[Nocturnal]

I was so lazy I didn't even want to type out a response. I feel I am in the same boat as you. I'd like to get into shape so I don't die of a heart attack. I'd like to change my oil on my car as well as my gf's car so that the engine will last much longer than a car with its oil that has not been changed. You feel me? I feel you.
