I can't put my head down and work.

Got the same problem, I have no motivation until it gets near deadlines. I was actually better in my first year of uni, this third year is shocking. I did find going to the library and working there helped until the library got to the point you can't even get a seat. I've started setting myself little lists of stuff to do for the week, I then work my way through it and as I complete a task reward myself with some game time or something. Until an item is completed I can't touch a game or a film.

I give myself weekends off however and only do work on them if I really need to or feel I want to.

It's kind of working, but nothing beats the pressure of deadlines for motivation. However if it's one of the modules I enjoy I fly through it, can't get my teeth stuck into this final year project however.
 
I'm thoroughly useless with getting to work. I've requested my suspension on here twice, the last time for around 4 months :eek:

Probably for the best, such absense has had the result that I now refuse to let myself get too caught up in online squibbles these days :p

Likewise, I've cut my guitar strings on occation too.
 
OcUK ritual login suicide in progress! If I remember I'll start a welcome back thread for him, to celebrate his brief moment of willpower. I probably won't remember though... :D
 
I pity the first OcUK'er who works with another, and leaves their PC unattended with their forum account login. Requests for self bans are going to be rife...

If you are in uni or work for yourself: drive around the nicest part of town where the most expensive houses are, then imagine yourself buying one. That should motivate you a bit.

You'd do better to pop into a pub on a massive council estate, then imagine they will be your workmates and neighbours for the next 40 years.
