    I try to write a list on my white board of things I have to do today. I get great satisfaction from crossing them off!

    I get that too! I love crossing things off lists. I have a planner that I write everything in and plan when I'm going to complete work. Sometimes I still procrastinate but for the most part I get things done far in advance.

    This question cracks me up laughing! I immediately wondered, what is songbyrdsweet putting off to write this?

    I think Nike has the best advice: Just Do It!

    To-do lists help too, because you can look back and see all that you've accomplished... even the little stuff adds up.

    And setting a goal sooner then an assignment is due, so then if I do miss my deadline it isn't a huge deal.

    For me, I know I can't really enjoy "playing" until my "work" is done. I have an uneasy feeling, knowing that there is some impending doom of having to take care of something. This is easily enough to motivate me to take care of my work first. Then, the rest of my time is mine, guilt free.:smile:
