Today has been one of my more frustrating days. I am a student at a community college. Today I didn’t have to work and had no classes (this is extremely rare).  I figured I would get so much hw done. It is 3:30pm and I have done one quiz for an online course. I know I should be doing my work but I just am not. It’s so frustrating and I feel so stupid because I know I should do it but I just don’t. I always find other things for myself to do (this post being one of them). I try to do little tricks to get myself to do hw but they never work. I always write lists about everything so I told myself when I got something done I could write it on my list. I woke up early and took my medication, sat at our dining room table and just have been doing other things all day. To think I could have over half my work done but I don’t and that makes me so mad at myself.  Does anyone have tips to just shove the ADD tendencies out the window? I am so sick of this happening. I feel like I can only truly get work done is when it is 5 mins before the deadline. I just want to be able to get my work done ahead of time when I actually have literally ALL DAY to do it. I know this sound so stupid like Kelsey why don’t you just leave this site and go do it. For some reason I just get stuck and then time flies by. Anyone relate to this?

Hey, i hear ya doing one task is always hard, but i feel if i do like ten minutes of something the ten minutes of something else then going back helps. break it up into smaller more manageable time frames might help. also music. take your mind off the work with something else and i find music helps singing along and focusing on the music lets me do the task at hand and not even realize it.
