Motivational problems

Visible to anyone in the world

Having suppose to start my course 6 days ago, I find myself staring at my computer trying to convince myself to study. I blame my lack of motivation on my job, working in a garden centre restaurant as a chef is not ideal. The hours are good, doing 9-5 5 days a week gives me time after to study. Then comes my days off, im use to doing absolutely nothing on those days, so to try and do 5-6 hours on my course is a struggle. Maybe in time I can overcome this, and kick this courses butt!

Procrastination is something I have difficulty with as there is always something to distract yourself with but I found if I sit down and write out a timetable for myself then it's much easier to motivate myself to do something.

I don't.  I'm getting really good at it.  I've wasted 9 hours today so far.

Done nothing but sit and ponder random shite for last couple of days and done absolutely no work. So with you there. Maybe all we need to do is just open a book and start reading.
