  I told you a hundred times Seibah, I don't want you in my pool

  There is something called "beat the glock." It was a wake-up device based around a glock. It didn't fire bulelts, but it made hell of a noise. the idea was to wake up early enough to turn it off.

  You don't really need a gun to do that. o_0

  
  

  I already have a really fucking loud alarm clock that makes me instinctively wake up before it wakes up the whole building.

  My current problem isn't getting up early enough as it is not procrastinating my time doing all sorts of random little things.

  
  

  ...like, say, checking internet forum threads.  ...ow!  ...no offense.

  Learnt a motivational technique from a memory coach once that involved setting a really specific goal like "i will score such and such on this or that test/exam/assignment" and then fill a full A4 sheet of paper by writing that goal every night before sleeping.
  
  I know it seems like alot of effort (and it is) but it really does get you in the right mood and frame of mind to achieve that goal oh and btw its best to make it an achievable goal rather than something like 100% or something otherwise you might disappoint yourself.
  
  Hope this helps

  Glennmagusharvey,

  
  

  Have you tried using a physical planner/agenda/calender thing to organize your time and plan out deadlines? I think it might help you keep track of everything a little better. I guess another way to try to cut down on procrastination is to try to purposely space stuff you want to do in between chores, schoolwork, and other things you need to do. So maybe you could tell yourself "if I finish Y then I can go on IJBM/play games etc." or something similar.

  
  

  Of course, I suppose the effectiveness of all of that stuff is proportional to the willpower that you develop and unfortunately I am not much help there. If you just want people here to tell you to get to work when you are in a procrastinating mood though, they probably would be glad to help you with that.
