Hello people,

I have been procrastinating a lot lately. Reading every forum thread here for the whole day at the part time job I am doing and going through all the phdcomics archive from beginning to end in a single day just to avoid doing the part time job. And I have'nt even started with my PhD. Its still a month away before I start. :-)

I wonder how this will be during the course of PhD. Looks like I am going to be infected a lot with this and need some cure.
So what do you do to keep yourself from procrastinating at your work?

I'm guilty of the same thing but you have to get over the laziness of life. Get started on the PhD stuff now - get yourself acclimated to the routine so you will not falter and screw over your work when it counts toward your PhD.

Pretty much everyone suffers with this so I think it's great that you're already trying to work out some techniques to get over it. If you can, I would set yourself a set number of hours a day to work before you start your PhD, so that when you do you will be used to having a routine. Also: ban internet! No internet browsing at all until you've finished your work. This was recommended to me and it helps enormously.

Hope this helps.
