I need to stop procrastinating

[AnimeGirl]

I am a horrible procrastinator. I often say "I'll do this later" and often find later "Oh shoot! It's too late!!!". My situation does not seem like it has improved much. I'm not doing too well in piano. I'm suppose to practice at least a half hour a day, but I do not. There are times when I even skip days. I even procrastinate when it comes to some of my homework. No one can say it's just to do things I want. I've procrastinated on even drawing my manga, and the magazine deadline is on the tenth and I got 8 pages to go! Also, on learning how to speak Japanese. I went over some of it on Friday, but since then, have not practiced. Also, I've been forgetting to pray before I go to sleep, and to try and read at least 1 chapter of the Bible of a book I select in there. So I've been skipping out on my connection with God, and I'm really feeling it. I don't want this anymore. I've prayed about it and tried, but still I am procrastinating.

Please pray that this can be helped. That I will stop "putting it off" and do something more productive, like actually practice, due homework, learn Japanese, and spend time with God. These are all important to me, and I don't want to keep wasting my time. Too much anime watching is partly to blame. I keep telling myself "make that a reward for when you finish a task". This is a pretty good idea, though I am never strict on it. It's a good motivation. So please pray I actually go through with this idea, that unless I get these tasks done, NO ANIME!! Also, that I put spending time with God above all else. That it's above anime, listening to music, reading manga, going online, and so fourth. I want spending time with God to be the first thing I do in the morning and the last thing I do before bed.

Thanks in advanced, guys!

Praying.

One of the best things you can do is ask your family to help out- say you've had trouble with this stuff, and ask them to keep after you. Make it a rule that immediately after school you sit at the kitchen table (or wherever they can keep an eye on you) and do your homework/whatever, and have a punishment system set up if you don't.

Oh wow. That sounds almost exactly like what I'm doing (except I haven't been watching anime). I know how you feel. I'll be praying for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I too am a horrible procrastinator. So I'll be praying for you.

Just prayed for you, sister. An idea I reccomend is fasting from anime. Trust me, that should lessen it's hold on you. As a procrastinator myself, I can relate. Like someone said, having your family helping you is also a good idea. God bless you!

I was going to post in this thread way earlier but I kept putting it off.
