THis is so insane and I hate it.
I've got three essay's due tomorrow and NONE OF THEM are finished!!
I feel so stupid because every time I do an essay I can't start without watching a youtube video while I do it or stepping away every five minutes to do random sh*t on the internet.
My dumb a** can't focus for longer than five minutes and yet somehow I'm in the second hardest AP class in my school (wTF).

I know I'm not supposed to be THIS distracted (and before you say anything, no, I don't have ADHD or something like that.)

Seriously, there is something WRONG WITH ME. Anyone know what though?

    I remember high school. We had a radio and a TV. That was it. I had a radio on while studying or doing essays. I loved listening to Cousin Brucy from New York City. I'm way up in Canada and the only time to listen to him was at night when the AM frequencys would "skip". Plus at night they were allowed to boost their transmit power. "Here it comes! 50,000 watts of 'er!"

    Using a timer really helps me. I'll set it for like half an hour to study (you can do however long you want) and then set a timer for 5-10 minutes to rest or do something fun. This way I can focus on just one segment of time at a time and it's not so hard.

    On a similar note, if you're avoiding work due to feeling like you have too much to do, get a planner and rate all your tasks from most to least urgent and then do them in order of difficulty. Set times for completing work in your planner. This will make it not overwhelming and you don't have to think about everything at once.

    Good luck!

    have to admit it was easier to do schoolwork back in the old days, now kids have too many distractions...tv, internet, phones, all kinds of devices. everyone needs to slack off and relax every once in a while but be smart about it. use breaks to give your more energy and motivation. my advice: make a plan and stick to it, and don't forget to reward yourself for a job well done.
