I have freelance work and I'm struggling to get it done.

>How do I make myself focus and get this fucking thing done?
what the fuck are you even doing?

I didn't include the actual task because it's not relevant. I know how to do the task, my issue is with concentrating on it.

I have an 8 page paper due tonight, should be doable but im sitting here like an asshole on the 3rd day of procrastination. I hate myself.

>I didn't make my thread interesting or engaging because it's not relevant
Congrats on making a dead thread.

I can't help you, the only way I can work is on the last night, or if it's an exam.

only 8 pages?
I can get that shit done in an hour.

The writing is easy, but the research takes fucking forever. I really have a hard time imagining you can write 8 pages about a topic you know nothing about in an hour, the assignment isnt to make a fictional story.

>>18202941
but that's an hour, you said you had 3 fucking days to do the research

the writing is the easy part, the research seems to be your real problem

Discipline OP. Consider this: people will not do what they do not want to do. Discipline is doing that thing anyway. You don't have an issue if focus it is an issue of desire. You don't care about the project, you don't care about the client. It's not interesting or instantly gratifying you so you aren't doing it. Sheer willpower and discipline are the only things that will get you through, maybe a friend or rival to keep you motivated or interested as well. But until you have a reason to truly care about the task your only going to put forth your most mediocre work, at best.

Get a laptop, get out of your home and look for some comfortable place that sells coffee and don't ask the wifi password
Working at home it's hard because you are always at home. You cook at home, you sleep at home , you watch TV at home, etc it's too distracting
Most people who work from home have a room designated to working

Instead of making the 8 pages try to make 4 and then ask for an extension on the deadline, show your 4 pagesif they ask you if you haven't started yet

Fair point.

I guess deep down I know that I just need to force myself to do it. But it's surprisingly difficult. I didn't previously consider myself undisciplined but this pretty much proves that I am.

I'll consider this for the future. I still need to get this immediate task done, and I don't have any laptop suitable for it.
