How can I keep from spending money and get pumped to do my school work at the same time?

Ok, heres my problem...

When I get bored, I spend money...

but when I want to try to get some college projects done, Im not pumped enough to even start on the work...

After reviewing my mint.com, I went to the ATM 8 times in one week...but with my work/school schedule, most days im out from 9am - 10pm...so i gotta eat...

...but I'm a heavy clubber...and I hate to be bored..

any tips on what I can do to save money and get me to get my work done at the same time...

One tip was for me to get rest on my days off from school (since i don't go to school for two out of the five days). LIke when i come home from work, lay down for a few hours, get up, cook, and then I should have my head cleared to get motivated to do some school work.

If anyone else have any tips, that would be lovely!

    Quick Tips for Work and School

    Whether you go to work or school, when it comes to getting and staying organized, many of the same principles and productivity systems apply.

    1. Get your beauty sleep.

    The people with the highest productivity are always those who catch their full forty winks each evening. Determine what time you have to wake up in the morning in order to arrive at work or school on time. Then, backtrack a minimum of 7-8 hours so you know what time you should be in bed, and sleeping.

    2. Never work alone--pay attentions on the social-network.

    The social-network is fatal factor for your work present and future, the social-network is the your connections in the society, it can be your parent,friend,classmate,colleagues etc.Good scoial-network can improve your efficiecy, not only on the work itself but also good for your entire future career path.(job-hunting, recruit, professional personal development,life and work advice etc.http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0oGkmPLtLlH0mQB31xXNyoA...

    The Free Insiders Referral Network of Jobs - insidersreferral is such tool for your to build such useful network.To expand and enhence your social-network and make it more useful, just go and check it up.

    3. Planning power.

    It doesn't matter if you're a student, or a high-level executive in a Fortune 500 company. You must, I repeat, you must use a planner--print or electronic, whatever works best for you. When you learn of a meeting, appointment, event or any other task, immediately jot it in your planner, and get it off your mind. Just remember to check your planner each and every day, so nothing is missed

    4. Goals are golden.

    Set at least 3 goals each month, and you'll have a clear, manageable path to stay on throughout your school year or your work tenure. Be sure those goals are specific and measurable. A school goal may be to stay at a B average or above each semester. A work goal might be to convert 5 prospects to customers each month. Evaluate your results at the end of each month. Reward yourself for goals met. Don't beat yourself up for goals not met--just commit to reaching those goals the following month.

    5. Cut the clutter.

    In school, you're going to get inundated with notes, tests, school announcements, permission slips, report cards, reading material and more. In work, the same thing happens with memos, invoices, customer account files, mail and so on. Keep the paper under control by

    1. weeding out the old and outdated every single day and

    2. keeping the papers you do need to keep in one area such as a filing cabinet or a binder with pocket folders. Be sure folders are always clearly labeled.

    6. Fuel up.

    So many people think they can get more done by skipping breakfast or lunch. But how could you work if you have low energy, or a hunger headache? These important meals provide you with the energy you need so that you can produce the highest quality work. These two meals don't have to be difficult or time consuming. Breakfast can consist of a yogurt, some fresh fruit and some cereal. Lunch can consist of a tuna sandwich with an apple, or a veggie salad.

    7. Same place, same days, same time.

    When scheduling, consolidate similar activities for the same place, same day and same time. If you do so, you'll always know exactly what's expected of you each day. For instance, make all of your prospect follow-up phone call in your office with the door closed, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, at 3:00PM. Or, do your homework in the library, Monday through Friday, from 4:00PM to 6:00PM.

    8. Broccoli first, brownie second.

    When eating dinner, most people eat their broccoli way before they eat their brownie--in other words, they save the best food for last, since they know it's the most luscious reward. Same goes for your work. Do the hardest, most grueling, least-loved work first. Then, do your easiest, more-likeable tasks last. Once the hard stuff is out of the way, the easier tasks and projects will be a breeze.

    9. Pound perfection.

    You can't dedicate 100 percent of your time and effort to 100 percent of the things in your life--you'll end up frustrated, tired and unfulfilled. Striving for perfection is an obstacle that prevents you from getting things done. It's rare that anything is going to be done perfectly. Instead, strive for excellence in everything you do. You'll end each day feeling good about yourself, and with more completed projects.

    10. All work and no play makes Jack--exhausted!

    While you're going to be busy working on tasks and projects, being involved in activities, and running back and forth to meetings, classes or events, that's no excuse for not enjoying your life. Always make the time to do the things you love to do--painting, having fun with friends, scrapbooking, going to the movies, etc.

    When you have both work (or school) and fun activities planned, you're living a balanced and full life--and isn't that what living is all about?

    Look for cheap entertainment - like have a few close friends over and rent a movie. It sounds like you are in a routine of doing things and you just need to explore new options. Look at where you are spending the most money - and figure out a way to cut back on that one area.. Do this over and over.

    As far as school work. Consider going to a club a treat and treat yourself after you finished everything. Beyond that it is a necessary evil.
