Slow starter?

Post Reply New Topic

Is it just me, or does anyone else have a terrible time getting started with things? I _HATE_ mornings (no matter what time of day I have to get up and moving, it's "morning" to me.) I stall and stall and never get moving and am chronically late...for no good reason. I am the same way with projects and responsibilities. I stall and stall and FINALLY get started. Once I get moving, the momentum is good and I am fine. I suppose it's a problem of inertia.

Anyone else deal with this? How do you make it not so hard? Hints?

ALEX!! HELP!! ! I screwed up. Could you please move this to general discussion? And delete this second post? THANK YOU!! !

I especially have trouble getting started with projects for school. Right now I should be working on a presentation I have to give in class tomorrow. I have no hints.

Yes, I procrastinate a lot, but most things turn out all right anyway. I think I work better under pressure. I mean self-imposed pressure due to an imposing deadline, not social pressure.

With pressure I either end up excelling or completely blowing it off.

In the poll voted for 'often', since usually have great difficulty initiating activities, esp. if I have competing anxieties obstructing my ability to transition.

Am a night owl, so dislike mornings intensely-but takes me hours to feel 'settled in' with being awake, no matter when I get up.

Here's a link from the OASIS site:

Sorry it's geared for kids-it's all I could find. Did read it anyway, for what could apply to adults.

It depends on what kind of day I'm having and how tired I am to begin with.
