Do you ever get this, /sci/? How do I stop feeling this and get back to work?
Stop giving a fuck and give your best.

Yes, me. My problem was that I was working full time, and did not have the time to devote to studies. When I finally got free time to study, I was too tired and bored to study, so I couldn't concentrate and would just give in to urges to play video games or drink. Ended up quitting work. Now I go to campus early every single morning, work on assignments and studying, go to classes, and when classes are over I stay on campus and study/homework until 5 or 6, then I go home. I get everything done this way. By Wednesday or Thursday usually, I have nothing on my plate and have plenty of time to fuck off.
Do you work?

I do not, but the school I go to is rigorous enough that I may as well be. It's routine for students to stay at the school from 9 or 10am until midnight, every night. The summer is a time of relative ease, in which I take only 2-3 classes, then get about a month off before things start up again. Problem is, due to the projects based nature of the school, there's never not work that needs to be done. Any time spent not working could be considered time wasted and future opportunities lost.
