Need Motivation
    #6209041 - 10/24/06 11:34 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

I go to school via the internet, but its REALLY boring. i always find myself procrastinating for hours. I have to get in at least 3 hours worth of work every day to be counted present, but i can bring myself to actually do it.

Is there anything that anyone can possibly do to motivate me?

Any help would be immensly appreciated.

I only take one of my classes online (math) but I find it extremely hard to motivate myself. I started 2 sections at 11pm and had to finish a quiz on them by midnight. I should have done them Friday and Monday like the calendar said but I find it too hard. Sorry I can't suggest anything other than pick a time each day to do the work, shut off everything that may distract you, put on some relaxing tunes and go at it.

Get your shit together while it's still easy. I fucked up in regular college, got my shit together, and then fucked up "internet college" while pulling unemployment benefits and student aid. All I had to do was put in a minimal amount of time and next to no effort to pull all A's and I didn't do that.

Now my chances of getting a degree hinge on winning the lottery or a wealthy relative passing on.

Just fucking do it. It's easy, and you'll kick yourself when you fuck it up.

If you can't look ahead at whatever career you're aiming for and motivate yourself based on that and the accounts of me and others who've fucked up, you don't deserve all the opportunities afforded you by no virtue other than the location where you were born. You basically fell ass backwards into great opportunity and have an obligation to do something with it. Or you could just be a great big fuck up... your call.

Don't sweat it. I kinda feel obligated to use my fuck-ups for the greater good and all.

Maybe you should skip checking the shroomery until you've done at least two hours of work. I've found that holding myself to reward plans works ok - just NEVER EVER cheat for the reward. Once you do it's all shit. Maybe you could limit yourself to only checking the shroomery for 1/4 of the time you spend on school, then hold off smoking bud or something till you've put in at least 3 hours a day too?

Don't fuck up - it's too easy and the world is too full of fuck-ups.

Have you ever thought about using your brain? Seriously instead of drugs and substances?

eh, i have tried it. i REALLY dont want to use a cop-out, but i need something for my ADD. it is extreme, and frustrates me. i will FORCE myself to pay attention, but my brian WILL NOT. its kinda hard to use that whole "mind over matter" thing when your mind is fukt up.
