The two words PANIC and FEAR are the key, however.

I'd recommend starting at 9:00 each morning, going to a place to work where there are no distractions, like the library, and working for a fixed number of hours with fixed meal breaks. And don't log on to the forum, not even for just a minute to check something.

I should point out that I've only ever done this once in my life, for my finals, but it did work. It was actually quite nice to feel in control of things, but obviously not nice enough for me to have adopted it as a life plan!

Well I haven't got a clue about time management but I suppose if I really really tried, I reckon I could cope ok. Erm taking 'don't go on the forum' off the list though!
