My favorite way to secure a productive evening is to cancel fun plans.
"Sorry, Amy & Larissa, I can't come to the international student dinner after all. I have too much homework. Oh, and I can't continue on to the salsa dancing club either. Yeah, that's right, Tasha Kolar is actually bailing on an opportunity to twirl."
"No, Jessie & Peter. I can't go to Local 16 for beers & bumpin. I have to write this project proposal. I know it's Friday night, but I have to."
Yeah, that's how my night went. Sigh. So much fun to be had, but I'm sitting on the couch searching Amazon for a suitable bibliography & listening to the Lykke Li Pandora station. It's been super productive tho! (As long as my prof approves of my topic... I failed to make an appt w/ her pre-proposal-due-date. Oops.)
Try the strategy out if you can bring yourself to it!
