Can't focus.
I can't bring myself do do school assignments. I know I have to do them and I know the consequences of not doing so.
But I still INSANELY procrastinate. In the back of my head, I tell myself that I still have plenty of time to do it, even when, at the same time, I know I don't. Today, I spent the whole day playing video games and watching TV. Even though I have a project do do, 40 pages of reading, etc. due by Monday.
And when I DO actually get around to doing the work, I never EVER just work on it. I'll do half a math problem, then spend half an hour on the internet.
I don't even have trouble with any school subjects. So it's not that I'm avoiding them because I don't think I can understand the assignment.
Fact is, I'm lazy. I'm a procrastinator. I am the anti-workaholic. (Unless I'm doing something I love. Then I fully commit to the project)
How can I overcome this and get my goddamn act together?
Because although this is not affecting my academic performance, it is SERIOUSLY stressing me out. I'm always studying for tests or doing homework assignments on the bus ride to school, or in class.

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
you're pretty much the same as me, but i have slightly different reasons. my method is to find something i love about it. for example, i had to this god awful essasy on macbeth, and it counted as my coursework. so i tried to find something that really interested me. i would talk to myself, and debate over bits of the text, so that i found a reason to keep writing about it. i tried to comprehend the question, and think about how it applies to me, and the things i like. obviously, you can't always do this, but when you have a math question you hate, just think about something you do like, like the kinda future that you want, and think how this could help you.
for instance, i like to think tat by maintaing a good grade, it'll help me get a good place at university, so in the long term it will help.
it sucks that i porcrastinate so much, so i know it must really annoy you, but don't get put off. don't convince yourself that you're just lazy. just think that you need motivation, and thigs will get easier. good luck

Go to the library and sit away from the computers and anyone else basically isolate yourself and just focus on your work. If you cant go to a library go to a section in your house that doesn't have a computer or a TV or anything that will distract you. Basically what I'm saying is put yourself somewhere where no matter how much you feel like going on the internet or anything you cant because its too far. And if you need the internet to do your work then do everything that doesnt involve the internet first and then do what you need the internet for and once you get to the computer close msn,fb and all that and tell yourself you cant talk to anyone or do anything until you finish your hw. Good Luck:D
