How to stop procrastinating?
Hey, everyone. I am a college freshman and for my POLS 110 class, I must write a 4-page midterm paper on foreign policy (my class chose the crappiest topic possible). Anyway, my paper is due this coming Tuesday, and so far I only have an idea of what it will be about, but not my thesis or anything. I just can't stop procrastinating though, and I am having a hard time getting started, especially because I don't really know where to start in the first place. Also my friend really wants to hang out this weekend, since it has been a couple weeks since we did, and I don't want to disappoint her but I have to keep my priorities in check, right? Can anyone give me some advice on how to get over procrastination quick?
P.S. My idea for the paper is to focus on disaster management, and how countries help other countries in times of need because of natural or man-made disasters. If anyone can help me zoom in on something or give me an idea where to start, I'd really appreciate it :)

Alright, firstly don't be a last-minuter in doing work (im also a last-minuter myself sometimes) but to avoid this start with your major distraction, if its your friends let them know your busy and need some alone time, and if its your girlfriend try to invite her over and hangout at your home talk and you can do some research with her help and input-if not then cut to her straight that you seriously need to finish the work.
Also one way to avoid procrastinating is to always remind yourself of what needs to be finished, I personally have a 33''x22'' white board in my room when i have a much of things due dates and important tasks and work etc. I just start to list everything with their due dates next to them, seeing them constantly in front of me when I enter the room makes me feel uneasy and triggers me to start on the even early sometimes
Well i really hope that help good luck in college
