Pump it out
Living in the college dorms can be quite distracting sometimes. I can say I will sit down and complete my list of tasks, but let's get serious.. it doesn't happen. Someone will engage in a conversation with you, you'll catch a glimpse of a TV show you haven't watched in weeks, or hear a song that won't escape from your head. We've all done it, and I probably have a little too much experience with it. Colleges have libraries for reasons. Sometimes for the occasional, "I'm bored, I need to kill time", but mostly to GET WORK DONE. Take advantage! If I put my mind to it, I will accomplish everything before dinner and the night is free. How often does this happen? Not so much, but when I do it feels awesome. I tend to rid of the easy and quick assignments first, but it's all a mental game. If you take care of those long assignmetns ahead of time, those quick things will seem that much faster. If i know an assignment isn't due for two weeks, I will push it off to the side. This will build, and build, until you're stuck the night before. I constantly write it down every day in my planner so the thought crosses my mind. It works and it feels good to completeley black out with ink everything I've done. You need days like this too offset the others when you accomplish nothing. This is all working towards that main goal of offsetting yourself from the rest.
