Sometimes you literally just have to MAKE/FORCE yourself to do what you've gotta do, especially when you're in the moment!

Every time you feel yourself starting to fall victim to proscrastination and/or not having your priorities straight, REMIND yourself of what's MORE important (facebook or studying for a test that can make/break whether or not you suceed or end up paying twice as much for a mistake you made).

Try writing out your priorities. Take a good look in the mirror & at your life. What exactly do you keep putting 1st? Boys? Facebook? Your social life? Your emotions over your logic? Sinful desires? THEN write cross out each thing & write over it the things you oughta be entertaining/doing/focusing your energy into. If you do this in the moment, it'll work. You just gotta DO IT! If you map out your daily routine as of right now, you'll probably notice that you spend alot of time doing/entertaining the things that really won't matter or get you far/anywhere in 6 months. Write what you NEED over what you THINK you want.

Start surrounding yourself around people who are assertive & who are NOT proscrastinators. Sometimes all it takes is to place someone in an environment where everybody ELSE has their shxt together; the pressure of trying to keep up & be like them in a GOOD way will eventually consume you. This is an example of how it's not always bad to be a follower...it all depends on what you're following. If you hang around people who don't proscratinate AND who encourage you NOT to do so either, it'll really help you into maturing & getting your priorities straight. It's harder to see the problem when you're surrounded by people who possess the same problem; start hanging with people who represent who/how you WANT to be; it won't be as hard to change if you get used to hanging with people you look up to.

Either way, it all comes down to just doing it! You ALREADY know the areas in which you aren't putting enough focus into so put some action into it now. By doing so, you'll be stepping out of habit & sometimes, all it takes is ONCE & from there, it'll come naturally
