I want a peer mentor in Berkeley

MMelnicki — Wed, 28 May 2008 03:12:22 GMT

I am awful at focusing on my research (I'm a Ph.D. student in microbiology), particularly when it comes to doing computer work. The best thing I'm thinking of is to find someone else on campus that has a procrastination problem (or something related) and get together and do the peer-mentoring thing... tell each other about our problems, and try to hold each other to work towards a solution.

Is anyone interested? Also possible if you're in SF, since that's where I live/sleep.

Perspective

Quoting the student of a friend of mine:

Procrastination is like masturbation. It makes you feel good, but really, you're just fucking yourself.

what are your most shameful procrastination techniques?

girlleastlikelyto — Mon, 13 Mar 2006 19:56:00 GMT

I had a huge writing deadline this weekend, which of course meant I wasted hours and hours and didn't accomplish anything. I hit a low on Sunday when I watched 3 hours of a PBS telethon, then the god-awful romantic comedy How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. It was torturous, yet I seemed to prefer it to actually getting work done...

Just curious...

tsgeisel — Fri, 31 Mar 2006 03:11:44 GMT

An open question to all...

Do you see the point of this tribe as a place to figure out how to stop procrastinating, or a place to revel in it (so to speak)?

And, recognizing that it's more continuum than absolute, where do you fall in the range of the extremes.

Personally, I'm way towards the "revel in it side".

writing. or rather, not writing.

girlleastlikelyto — Tue, 10 Jan 2006 06:46:37 GMT

Anybody else (not really) working on a writing project? I've been procrastinating for YEARS on my dissertation, and I wonder if there's a point of no return, when you've procrastinated for so long that it's literally impossible to finish something.

procrastinate? (what) <<why not surrender to ourselves>>

Tue, 10 Jan 2006 07:13:12 GMT

life is precious... we all are... we are all potentially exquisite flowers to bloom, to blosom, to glow, to radiate

and to share, care for eachother...care for our earth we must do with honor.

life has value that is undenyable

we are, we !are! creators

and heck, the opportunities are out there
to rejoice in
arms meant to outstrech
hold onto this life
we can all potentially create
by simply two people coming together
sacred bonds.... where is our sexuality? lost?

never lost.
it's there
never deny your right to love and create

Which tribe

patrick_spatz — Tue, 13 Dec 2005 05:19:00 GMT

Ok so this started out as a posting for Bored Stupid. Being bored makes me Depression, which in turn leads to An Anxious Life . Of course that made me forget was I was going to post, which in problemly a sigh of my ADD adults. Then again I’m sure it was something I’ve been putting off, so if I get around to it I should put it on, Procrastin... , or maybe it was something just to get attention, which meen it should go on (you know who). Of course doing it this way is kind of ! ! Outside of the Box Thinkers ! !, and a bit of Creative Writing Critique. It just too bad it all has to go to **misspellers untie ;)**.

Breakfast

patrick_spatz — Wed, 07 Dec 2005 00:27:23 GMT

This was posted on Depression, ADD, Anxious life.

Ok lets try this again.

Like mines and or breakfast. Let’s say we try for Sunday this time, that the 11th. I will open nomination with Hometown in Santa Clara again. Which I might add is right on the 22 bus rout. In fact get off the bus walk across the parking lot and into the front door.

Ok so the nomination are now open! Other places, dates, times. Speak up or lose out!

Any tips

patrick_spatz — Wed, 30 Nov 2005 17:53:54 GMT

I know this is a lot like the last thread, but I wanted something with a bit more possitive start. No offince AE.

Any tips on how to get and stay motived? After so many failures in my life I find giving up to be a constant temptation. Even once I get started a voice (I know, he’s not my friend) keeps saying what’s the point? It will all fall apart soon.
This time of year doesn’t help. Everything is on hold tell the new year, and the wither is dark and cold.
I’ve got a new job, I’m online at less part of the day. There is opportunity here, but I’m letting it drift away. Any tips on how to get yourself going and then keep going?

Oh one thing, because of circumstance I can’t change my meds right now.

is it a fear of falling

delaluz — Mon, 06 Jun 2005 07:22:49 GMT

hi okay well i'm glad i found this tribe group
i'm having a truly terrrrrrible time with the procrastination thing
it is getting pretty obscene and totally out of hand
I keep telling myself alll these excuses
and I also tell myself and other people lies
how it - my thesis by the way - is coming along
and it isn't
in fact I have barrrely sat down to it today.
and it was the same yesterday
and the day before was worse

I hear ya when you say that your mind has to be in it and the mood
has to be right
and things have to be clear
and I also think that it is boiling down to my
crazy hope and sense for perfection on this
well not perffection since I don't believe in that
but
something

I want it (my thesis) to be something good
and all reports are pointing in that direction
but I should have finished my revisions 1 month ago!
I only have 7 days to get this thing to my committee
they should have had it weeks ago

and maybe I have been holding off and
doing anything but that the thesis
because I have a fear of falling
and of failing
and I know the pieces to the story that nobody else knows
and I am and have been
trying so hard to make
what others know to be the truth
and to minimize these other pieces
the ones I don't like
about myself and
of my process
I wish that I could say its all been a clean break
but its been a messy one all the way through
that may be my nature
or maybe it is my nature that I am fighting with
I don't know.

Anyways I feel a little crazy inside
and I thank you for listening.

New to thread

SithSnoopy — Mon, 06 Jun 2005 01:12:42 GMT

So, I've got a few different organization books.

I've got the 7 habits of highly effective people.
I've got the 8th habit.
I purchased "Sink Reflections" by the "Fly Lady". It's cool. I also got
"Get Your Act Together". Both are by former procrastinators whose
houses looked like disaster areas. This gives me hope!

I've been on a slow course of getting the house organized, and no longer
procrastinating on things that need doing to keep it organized. Ditto for
work. Health is a problem: procrastinating on going to the dentist, getting
blood drawn at the request of two different doctors, and exercising. Am
eating better, but have spurts of wanting pleasure first instead of thin later.

The car needs to be lubed. Probably needs to go in for some other service
that can't be done at Jiffy Lube, but not sure which. The Buell Blast also
needs to be lubed I'm sure.

My husband is awesome at throwing away stuff that does not need to be
held on to. Years of papers in boxes have dissappeared from my home
office due to his wonderful influence.

However, there's still a long way to go. The Christmas lights over the
garage remained up until mid May. :P [I'm afraid of heights... I got them
up there, but just couldn't deal with taking them down! He gave in and
finally did it for me. :) ]

So, how is everyone else doing?

Never put off Indefinitely what you can forget about Completely

kenne — Mon, 30 Aug 2004 08:55:54 GMT

i was in the middle of this complex work of art involving changing the dominant paradigm and accessing god-like powers from beyond, when instead i started checking e-mail and then surfing Tribe.net. now i'm hungry, but i should go to bed. if start tomorrow on my apotheosis, then i can defeat their Evil Empire, and start my own even better more evil Evil Empire. i was gonna buy some cool-aide for dance camp, but the stores are all closed. i could stay up til the corner guy opens but then i'd probably have gotten started on PhotoShop®. everyone knows what a waste of time that is. maybe if i start on my digital photo files now, but wait, a re-broadcast of tonite's Family Guy comes on in 9 minutes. gotta go!

Procrastinating Artists

RachelMariel — Thu, 02 Sep 2004 17:44:49 GMT

Any artists that procrastinate in finishing artwork?

That is one of the worst procrastinations. I have many peices I've started couple of years ago and it's still there waiting for me. Or I'll get all kinds of ideas of new work and never get it started. I say to myself, I first want to finish what I already have. Well shit, how long have I been putting that off!

Boils down to motivation and time I guess. Hah, I'm probaly just making excuses, but those are good excuses.
