I always get things done in time and don’t have any trouble getting my homework done by the due date. Recently, I have been rather unproductive. I still get all my work done but I’ve become pretty good at wasting away time sitting on the computer.

I’ve always read on Lifehacker about the various things that people do in order to get things done. You can read about the various methods here if you want. I love reading the things posted on Lifehacker everyday.

I have started using Post-It notes to create lists of things that need to get done in a given day. Yes, I know, that doesn’t sound like much of a system of getting things done but it really worked for me yesterday. I had a couple things I needed to do which I put on my list but then I stretched myself and added a few additional things. It felt great crossing off the things as I finished them. I managed to get all the stuff done and more in a shorter amount of time than it would have taken me without the list. All in all, it feels great being productive and sometimes you just need a small motivator to help things along.
