I neeeeeeeeeeed to do some homework. I've done close to nothing. I still need to work on my oral for English, which seems to be going nowhere.. waaah, I have so much to do, but I just don't feel in the mood! If this continues to happen throughout the year I'm going to fail in life! How can I motivate myself?!

Haven't you provided your own source of motivation there?

Edit: In other news, it might be a bit more manageable if you break everything into small, achievable goals, rather than looking at the whole big picture and stressing yourself out. For example, break the work you need to do on your English oral into parts, and just start working on a random part to it - until you complete all of it. Also try to remove distractions and convince yourself to sit down for a time period (half an hour? one hour?) straight and slap yourself in the face (well you can do this metaphorically; self harm is bad) if you don't complete a complete the task you set yourself to do in that time period.

I know if I don't study and whatnot, I'll probably end up being a hobo -.- buuuuuuut, that doesn't mean I all of a sudden feel like starting my homework. It happens too often, I've come to terms with it

Looks like I'll be doing bits and pieces of my oral all week, but that sounds like a good idea. Cheers (:

Make homework fun, interesting and relevant to you.

One of the things I did for psych was make a dream diary just out of fun but I'm sure there are lots of cool things you can do!

You know, just start doing your homework early as it spreads the workload.

Like, if your oral was in 10 days, I would write around 200 words a day...which is not much to be honest. You'll come up with an 1000 word speech in like 5 days, with 5 extra days to practice delivery.

Also look up "stayfocused" - available on Chrome or Firefox, I think. Saved me so many hours last year.

It's really just a matter of getting off your bum and actually doing work. Sorry. :(
