I read The Important Habit of Just Starting by Jory Mackay and How to Beat Procrastination by Caroline Webb. I picked these two articles because I have a major procrastination problem. I always say I'm going to start working on projects days or weeks in advance, and then end up doing the entire thing the night before it's due. Both of these articles went into the psychological reasons behind procrastination and gave advice on how to get over it. It was mostly advice I'd read before, which says less about the articles and more about my habit of looking up tips to stop procrastinating as a method of procrastinating. At least for this semester, all of my classes with large projects have built in schedules that will force me to work on them long before the due dates.
