This is not so much a blog post as it is a public service announcement. I have a problem when it comes to doing work that I absolutely hate doing, namely the inability to do it. Right now, as I type this post, I probably should be typing out a paper that is due soon. Like almost now. I just don't want to. There is an intense compulsion to find anything else to do so I can put off doing this work until the very last minute.
So why am I being so nonchalant about this? Well, probably because I'm stuck in this vicious cycle. Each time, every time really, I psych myself into doing my work, get it done for the most part early on, and finally fizzle out before I can finish everything I need to complete. For some reason this never happens to me at work, only when it comes to school. Not being able to bring myself to write papers that I frankly couldn't care less about really drives me nuts and makes me depressed about this need for procrastinating. It hurts.
How do you suggest I break this cycle? Ultimately I can't find the right motivation to stop procrastinating when it counts. If you have any suggestions, my ears are listening.
Okay, time to do the work I can't stand. Finally. In an hour. After I watch one last video on YouTube. Cool.
