Norma Marsalis: I'm stuck between letters C and D...I like C because if said prisoner had parental issues growing up, then that's what led to a life of crime. Strict parents make for sneaky children...But then there's D... Because if the kid is messed up in the head who did it come from? Either a traumatic childhood experience (that's where C comes in) or the prisoner's mother/father was also a little off in the head if you will.

Sol Bayn: I was the same way as you, until I stumbled upon this one blog. It really helped me, so read on!!He writes about different scenarios but all can be applied to your situation.Achieving goals is not a matter of having “disciplineâ€. It’s a matter of motivating yourself, and keeping your focus on your goal. Follow these hacks, or any combination of them that works for you, and you should have the motivation and focus you need.Here they are, in reverse order (links take you to more on each):#20: Chart Your Progress. Recently I posted about how I created a chart to track my progress with each of my goals. This chart is not just for information purposes, for me to look back and see how I’m doing. It’s to motivate me to keep up with my goals. If I’m diligent about checking my chart every day, and marking dots or “xâ€s! , then I will want to make sure I fill it with dots. I will think to myself, “I better do this today if I want to mark a dot.†Well, that’s a small motivation, but it helps, trust me. Some people prefer to use gold stars. Others have a training log, which works just as well. Or try Joe’s Goals. However you do it, track your progress, and allow yourself a bit of pride each time you give yourself a good mark.Now, you will have some bad marks on your chart. That’s OK. Don’t let a few bad marks stop you from continuing. Strive instead to get the good marks next time.#19: Hold Yourself Back. When I start with a new exercise program, or any new goal really, I am rarin’ to go. I am full of excitement, and my enthusiasm knows no boundaries. Nor does my sense of self-limitation. I think I can do anything. It’s not long before I learn that I do have limitations, and my enthusiasm begins to wane.Well, a great motivator that I’ve learned is that when you have so much ! energy at the beginning of a program, and want to go all out â€" HOLD B! ACK. Don’t let yourself do everything you want to do. Only let yourself do 50-75 percent of what you want to do. And plan out a course of action where you slowly increase over time. For example, if I want to go running, I might think I can run 3 miles at first. But instead of letting myself do that, I start by only running a mile. When I’m doing that mile, I’ll be telling myself that I can do more! But I don’t let myself. After that workout, I’ll be looking forward to the next workout, when I’ll let myself do 1.5 miles. I keep that energy reined in, harness it, so that I can ride it even further.#18: Join an online (or off-line) group to help keep you focused and motivated. When I started to run, more than a year ago, I joined a few different forums, at different times, on different sites, such as Men’s Health (the Belly-Off Runner’s Club), Runner’s World, Cool Running, and the running group at About.com. I did the same when I was quitting smoking.Each tim! e I joined a forum, it helped keep me on track. Not only did I meet a bunch of other people who were either going through what I was going through or who had already been through it, I would report my progress (and failures) as I went along. They were there for great advice, for moral support, to help keep me going when I wanted to stop.#17: Post a picture of your goal someplace visible â€" near your desk or on your refrigerator, for example. Visualizing your goal, exactly how you think it will be when you’ve achieved it, whether it’s financial goals like traveling to Rome or building a dream house, or physical goals like finishing a marathon or getting a flat stomach, is a great motivator and one of the best ways of actualizing your goals.Find a magazine photo or a picture online and post it somewhere where you can see it not only daily, but hourly if possible. Put it as your desktop photo, or your home page. Use the power of your visual sense to keep you focused on yo! ur goal. Because that focus is what will keep you motivated over the lo! ng term â€" once you lose focus, you lose motivation, so having something to keep bringing your focus back to your goal will help keep that motivation.#16: Get a workout partner or goal buddy. Staying motivated on your own is tough. But if you find someone with similar goals (running, dieting, finances, etc.), see if they’d like to partner with you. Or partner with your spouse, sibling or best friend on whatever goals they’re trying to achieve. You don’t have to be going after the same goals â€" as long as you are both pushing and encouraging each other to succeed.#15: Just get started. There are some days when you don’t feel like heading out the door for a run, or figuring out your budget, or whatever it is you’re supposed to do that day for your goal. Well, instead of thinking about how hard it is, and how long it will take, tell yourself that you just have to start.I have a rule (not an original one) that I just have to put on my running shoes and close the doo! r behind me. After that, it all flows naturally. It’s when you’re sitting in your house, thinking about running and feeling tired, that it seems hard. Once you start, it is never as hard as you thought it would be. This tip works for me every time.#14: Make it a pleasure. One reason we might put off something that will help us achieve our goal, such as exercise for example, is because it seems like hard work. Well, this might be true, but the key is to find a way to make it fun or pleasurable. If your goal activity becomes a treat, you actually look forward to it. And that’s a good thing.#13: Give it time, be patient. I know, this is easier said than done. But the problem with many of us is that we expect quick results. When you think about your goals, think long term. If you want to lose weight, you may see some quick initial losses, but it will take a long time to lose the rest. If you want to run a marathon, you won’t be able to do it overnight. If you don’t se! e the results you want soon, don’t give up … give it time. In the m! eantime, be happy with your progress so far, and with your ability to stick with your goals. The results will come if you give it time.#12: Break it into smaller, mini goals. Sometimes large or longer-term goals can be overwhelming. After a couple weeks, we may lose motivation, because we still have several months or a year or more left to accomplish the goal. It’s hard to maintain motivation for a single goal for such a long time. Solution: have smaller goals along the way. #11: Reward yourself. Often. And not just for longer-term goals, either. In Hack #12, I talked about breaking larger goals into smaller, mini goals. Well, each of those mini goals should have a reward attached to it. Make a list of your goals, with mini goals, and next to each, write down an appropriate reward. By appropriate, I mean 1) it’s proportionate to the size of the goal (don’t reward going on a 1-mile run with a luxury cruise in the Bahamas); and 2) it doesn’t ruin your goal â€" if you ! are trying to lose weight, don’t reward a day of healthy eating with a dessert binge. It’s self-defeating.#10: Find inspiration, on a daily basis. Inspiration is one of the best motivators, and it can be found everywhere. Every day, seek inspiration, and it will help sustain motivation over the long term. Sources of inspiration can include: blogs, online success stories, forums, friends and family, magazines, books, quotes, music, photos, people you meet.#9: Get a coach or take a class. These will motivate you to at least show up, and to take action. It can be applied to any goal. This might be one of the more expensive ways of motivating yourself, but it works. And if you do some research, you might find some cheap classes in your area, or you might know a friend who will provide coaching or counseling for free.#8: Have powerful reasons. Write them down. Know your reasons. Give them some thought … and write them down. If you have loved ones, and you are doing it for ! them, that is more powerful than just doing it for self-interest. Doing! it for yourself is good too, but you should do it for something that you REALLY REALLY want to happen, for really good reasons.#7: Become aware of your urges to quit, and be prepared for them. We all have urges to stop, but they are mostly unconscious. One of the most powerful things you can do is to start being more conscious of those urges. A good exercise is to go through the day with a little piece of paper and put a tally mark for each time you get an urge. It simply makes you aware of the urges. Then have a plan for when those urges hit, and plan for it beforehand, and write down your plan, because once those urges hit, you will not feel like coming up with a plan.#6: Make it a rule never to skip two days in a row.This rule takes into account our natural tendency to miss days now and then. We are not perfect. So, you missed one day … now the second day is upon you and you are feeling lazy … tell yourself NO! You will not miss two days in a row! Zen Habits says so! ! And just get started. You’ll thank yourself later.#5: Visualize your goal clearly, on a daily basis, for at least 5-10 minutes. Visualize your successful outcome in great detail. Close your eyes, and think about exactly how your successful outcome will look, will feel, will smell and taste and sound like. Where are you when you become successful? How do you look? What are you wearing? Form as clear a mental picture as possible. Now here’s the next key: do it every day. For at least a few minutes each day. This is the only way to keep that motivation going over a long period of time.#4: Keep a daily journal of your goal. If you are consistent about keeping a journal, it can be a great motivator. A journal should have not only what you did for the day, but your thoughts about how it went, how you felt, what mistakes you made, what you could do to improve. To ...Show more
Esmeralda Pigram: If you have it turned on in the task bar menu you checked, make sure that it! is not set to "auto-hide". If it is not, then it sounds like you just ! drug it off of the screen. Move your mouse cursor to the bottom of the screen and look for the cursor to change to the up/down arrow. Hold the left mouse button and drag the mouse up, and your taskbar should re-appear. If this was the solution, right click on your taskbar when it is set to the size you want it, then set it to lock the taskbar....Show more
Roxane Leathers: Being poor? You can change that. Where do you think you'll be if you suicide? Think you'll be better off? At least if it's your financial situation you're upset about, you're in control. You can get a job, get more education, do something about it. Or you can be happy in spite of it. If you're really serious, IM me or something. If you kill yourself, I'll feel personally responsible for not stopping it....Show more

Troy Staton: Procrastination is not a moral shortcoming.
Brice Greczkowski: Just because other kids are having sex doesn't mean you have to. Take your time with that one. Trust me your not missing out.
Giovanni Malool: Think about something else. Distract yourself. Read a book, or watch tv.
Lu Snide: I used to be the same way, I seriously thought I had some sort of problem(I do have ADD). But at the end of the day, it comes down to sheer will-power. FORCE yourself to get off the computer, to stop watching T.V., or whatever it is you li! ke do to distract yourself.What works for me, a lot of the time, is if I write out a schedule for my day. For instance, what I'm going to do with my time every hour of the day. You can work on your paper or other project in small increments for a week or more until you're complete. That way, you don't feel completely stressed out and stay up really late completing your paper and harming your health by not getting sleep, and the final product will probably be better than if you had done this, since you get time to look over it again and again. I'm still teaching myself discipline(which is really what this is about) and I've gotten much better at it since my high school days. If you didn't learn it growing up, you've gotta teach yourself. Otherwise your college experience, as well as future working experiences(which will affect your mindset at home - so, basically your whole life), will be much more stressful....Show more
Dexter Dicostanzo: get yourself motivated. a! ward yourselfwhen you accomplish things. and set boundries for yourself! on what you canand can not do... until what need to bedone is done.
Arlen Lopiccalo: I'm the same. I HATE doing dishes, and usually wait till I run out of coffee cups before doing them. Now, I usually have a routine, and make sure before I go to work, I do the dishes. So you could use a routine as well, and at a certain time of the day, set aside some time to do your work. It takes will power, and consistency!
Dorethea Beaston: Hahaha, you're just like me.The best way to get things done early is to morph it into something you like.For example, writing a paper on which you might not like the subject.If you have the ability then look at the subject from all perspectives. I usually end up finding one that I like and write a paper based on that perspective.Try it....Show more
Rosalyn Olivera: i am exactly the same!i have massive exams tomorrow that i should have been preparing for , for months now!but ive still done nothing !!!the reason why you have this! habit is because you kno that you're smart enough to do something in 5 mins and pull off a good enough mark .... you always want to do well ...but you always feel as if you're not living up to you're full potential....you must be very smart ... to be able to do stuff only when you must and still be considered a good paper-writer...but advice on trying to get out of that habit is extremely hard to supply!you are lazy.and obviously very laid back!it must be very fustrating for you though sometimes i'd say because when you're doing eveything at the last minute you saying in your head '' why didnt i do this ages ago ''you cant really change it ... become MOTIVATED... compete with another high achieving person... make goals ... plan when you're going to do you're work ... treat yourself when you do something on time..go to a study tutor for a chat they'll give you tips on how to be motivated...i kno how annoyed you feel ... but i hope i help i really do ...... xxxxxxxxxxx...Sho! w more
Antonia Mogg: I'm like that too. I will even sit there fo! r ages (doing something useless like being on YA) thinking to myself "god I should start doing XYZ...why dont i just START!" but then I still don't.Not that it works all the time, I sometimes start the day deciding that everything I think I should be doing, I JUST DO IT. Instead of thining about it for ages first.Like right now I'm meant to be tidying the kitchen...I meant to start it 50 mins ago..You have given me my motivation to start tho lol thankyou!I'm going..honest I am lol& Good Luck!...Show more
Toby Caswell: I am the same way!! Maybe if we put our priorities down and pick just one at a time it would be helpful and finish that one it might not be so overwhelming?
Theresia Fashaw: Hi Nenna. How are you? I've had this problem too. I think the key to solving it is to be aware of all the emotions you have surrounding it. Often times I was conflicted about how I thought I was supposed to feel about something and how I really did feel about it. Like I th! ought I was supposed to be interested and excited about doing homework. The truth was I really hated some of it. So, part of the procrastination was the fear of coming face to face with this. There was the way I wanted to feel or was supposed to feel about it and then there was the way I really felt about it.Get in touch with your goals. Do YOU want to finish college? Or are you doing it to make your parents happy? If it's you that wants to finish, see some papers as necessary evils, pains you must go through to reach a goal of yours. It's OK if you're not thrilled with every aspect of college. This actually makes you normal. You may be good at writing papers but this doesn't necessarily mean you enjoy writing them all the time....Show more
Leann Villalta: C-- nurture -- His environment caused his aggression not his genetics.A, B, and D are all versions of the same thing. Nature, biology, and heredity are all expressions of the idea that behaviors are a refl! ection of genetics and that one's environment cannot change a persons d! estiny.
Ramona Pago: what really helps is buying a planner and writing down everything you need to do put a check mark after you have done all of it, what motivates is that when you see a day with an empty checkmark because you were lazy, you dont want another day like this it will drive you crazy.
Floy Fague: The only logical answer is C, because you are socialized into a life of crime not born with it as a prime nature, the only hereditary thing that could but you into something like this is mental illness.
Chris Wilczewski: omg, i have the same problem. i noticed that i have a lot of distractions that make me busier than i really am. a good way to solve this problem: what i did was put all those "distractions" in a box for a week. i lived without them that long and the world didn't end. took them back out and never got distracted again. it you don't have distractions like i dont sometimes (writing the paper is the problem right?). you just have to tell ! yourself over and over again that if you dont do it soon, then it won't be your best work. write down the assignment everywhere (agendas, sticky notes, on the desk, on binders) so you can never avoid it. this works for me when i dont do something. i have these reminders everwhere reminding me not to get distracted, lol....Show more
