Thanks everyone for your responses - I really appreciate your taking time to help me out. (:
Yesterday I ended up having to call in to work to let them know I wouldn't be able to come in because I have so much schoolwork piled up .. but then I ended up getting very little accomplished of what needed to be done. I still haven't started on most things. My classes are on a block plan which means I do one at a time for about a month. With the amount of work that I need to have done for tomorrow and the day after (but haven't started), I feel like this class might very well be a write-off at this point. Liveformx64, you say I need to reach rock bottom - well I think I've arrived! This chronic procrastination is affecting every area of my life in a negative way and I need to change it. The most frustrating thing for me is that from the outside people will see me as a person who is lazy and doesn't care about his schoolwork (and rightfully so), when really I am consumed by anguish and guilt over what I haven't done. I guess the good news is that no matter what the outcome of this class, I'll have four days to gather my thoughts and plan better for the next block. I also found a website (
www.procrastination.ca) that I think will help me a lot with my struggle.
Again, thanks.
