Little motivation..
Hello, I'm nearly 17 and at college doing a construction course. It consists of alot of written work, all coursework/assignments/essays.
I have had 2 weeks of College and not done any work.. I have low motivation and usually find some sort of distraction to pull me away from doing work when I should do it. eg: friends, games.
What to do?

Ask yourself if this is something you really want to do with your life. I am sure that the answer is yes. Every single time you think of not completing the work or of playing games etc remind yourself of your goal and how far you came.
The other thing with assignments is to watch the due date. If you have a while to complete them tht's good. What you do in that case is a bit of work here and tere until it's done. Spend an hour on it each day until it is done. That is how to maintain your focus and get things done.
mark down on an agenda book that you'll spend X amount of time each day on your assignments and then you can go off and do other things and then come back to it later. Stick to that kind of schedule and you'll do fine and have motivation.

Easy!
The key to most motivation remains setting goals, but you can't just pick any goals. Think through a set of goals that sound as though they are what you want, and try to be specific.
Rely upon yourself for the motivation and the drive. Other people do not have and will never have the same vested interest in your success. Motivation and success is a function of habit. You must break your bad habit of procrastination, and replace it with one of good planning. The most successful people in the world aren't always the brightest, or the best looking, but no matter what other talents or gifts they have been blessed with, they have their self esteem a series of victories over tasks both large and small. This is how you learn anything in school, gain confidence dating, and everything else in life. Focus on yourself: your time and space management. If you can organize your time and work out something that will allow you to build on your motivation and do something to allow you to achieve your goals, you will actually get somewhere.

i have the same problem, and same type of work, but in business studies, but im 15. well i think, before you sit down to work, switch of the tv, sign of your messenger service, etc. get any food you might get up for and put it on the table, and sit in a quiet room. now start working, when you remember to do something "thats important" write it down on scrap paper, and do it afterwards, when youve finished. for more motivation, find motivational quotes "a champion is someone who gets up when he cant" etc, and put them on a word document. make them large, and turn the page in landscape format. then what i do is print them off, and put them over my bed, and so im motivated when i sleep, and when i wake up.
