"I am about to share some life-changing information with you Seventeen Readers. I&amp;#039;m going to fill you in on the one thing that will solve ALL of your problems with procrastination. It&amp;#039;s something so amazing, so helpful and so beneficial that you&amp;#039;ll want to go out and buy one as soon as you&amp;#039;re done reading this. Are you ready to find out what this amazing tool is?... A PLANNER!      Yes, a planner. I know you were probably expecting something fancy - maybe a website that does all your homework for you? Sorry, but no... Trust me, if there was something out there like that, I would be the first one to know. So, there is something that I have to admit. I am, in fact, a procrastinator. I can open all of my books, prepare to start studying, then 15 minutes later, I&amp;#039;ll realize I forgot all about it, and be in the process of painting my nails. I&amp;#039;ve always tried to convince myself that I wasn&amp;#039;t a procrastinator, and just kept reminding myself that I &amp;quot;worked better under pressure.&amp;quot; Well the thing is, once you get to college, you have enough pressure already. Stalling to do homework, or waiting to the day before a test to study just won&amp;#039;t cut it here, which I quickly realized as soon as I got to Hampton. I&amp;#039;m still working on my time management, but I am proud to say that I am getting much better. A lot of thanks goes to my planner. This time last year, I would have never thought about using one, but now I can&amp;#039;t figure out how I&amp;#039;ve been managing without it.  Writing down your assignments, and actually planning out your days of the week can really set you on the right track. There is so much going on in college, and it is very easy to get thrown off task. It is way less stressful when I actually know what is going on. If a planner isn&amp;#039;t for you, there are other options, such as writing on a dry erase board on your wall to remind you of things you have to do. Staying organized isn&amp;#039;t very difficult, you just have to want to do it. Instead of having to worry about that assignment that was due last week, you want to be able to remain focused on your main goal, graduating and having the best four years of your life.  Oh, and guess what? I got a new haircut! =) Do you have any other tips for me on how to avoid procrastination? Let me know in the comments! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
