Hi Jinkim65. I am in a similar situation - hoping to submit in 5 months time. I do procrastinate a bit at the moment, but I also feel I am making progress. Every day I remind myself that I do want to submit in 5 months, so every day counts. I have met lots of people before me who said they would submit in x months, but then did not put the time/work in and ended up submitting in x+x months time - so, I think it kind of depends on how serious you are with submitting in 5 months time and not any time later. Focus on the end, and meeting that target, and make a plan everyday what you will achieve and stick to it. 5 months is short enough to plan out every week, so I would recommend doing that. Good luck.
