[The Hierophant]

Different people procrastinate for different reasons. I often do it because of the way I view 'work'. I often view my university assignments as a chore, rather than as a priviledge or interesting undertaking. As a result, I try to avoid doing them for as long as humanly possible. Whereas, I find myself constantly thinking about drinking, hanging out, playing computer games because I classify them as stress-free fun.

It's not that I'm lazy, or that i dont think, I just don't think about the things that will get me academic marks. I could easily write a 20,000 word dissertation on Baldur's Gate, in fact, it'd be a pleasure, because I associate that particular game with pleasure.

Associate your studies with pleasure, and they cease to be work. You no longer avoid them, but actually WANT to get stuck into them. It's really hard to do at first, but eventually it becomes habit. And, if you find that you just can't get enthusiastic about whatever you're studying, then maybe you need to ask yourself if you really want to be taking your life in this direction anyway.
