Prompt Pfumpf

I'm skipping prompt #4 for now, as it's a tough question, and I'm still working on putting together a list for it. So here's number five:

List your bad habits and/or addictions and what you have tried to rid yourself of them.

I'm a horrible procrastinator. I admit it. I'm absolutely horrible at getting things done way before they're due. I put things off until at least the week before, if not the night before. This has gotten me into a bit of trouble when it comes to multiple classes having homework due on the same day. 

To avoid causing myself a ton of grief over missing assignments, I've often tried to get an assignment started as soon as I've received it. This has never really worked in my favor, as I almost always re-read what I've written later, think "this is crap" and then start over from scratch again later anyway. I've also tried telling myself that the assignment is due earlier then it really was, but this often doesn't work at all, as no matter how soon I tell myself it's due, if it's not something I can trick my mind into accepting, my brain won't allow me to produce quality work.

I've tried several different methods of trying to get things done ahead of time, but if it's not something I'm truly interested in, I'm completely incapable of getting myself motivated to get it done ahead of time.
