If you don't know how to relax and enjoy your down time, then perhaps that's an indication that you need more practice at relaxing.  Maybe you've been so busy, you have forgotten how to do nothing?  Try to schedule less busy time and more free time.  I'm sure there are also some mind tricks that you can  do to stop focusing on what you "should" be doing.  A good  psychologist or therapist would be able to help you with that.

i have the same problem in college. Just tell yourself that if you get the work done now you'll have more free time for doing what you love. Keep the work done ahead of you.

start loving your work., perceive problems as opportunities adjust your goals as per the time this helps us in maintaing the motivation.,\none always works for one self., and that' another reason for being motivated

When you are this down then you do not usually see things rationally.\n\nTry doing something new and different, something that you have not done or tried for some time. Remember, the time and resources that you spend on this should actually benefit you emotionally, career wise or financially. \n\nIn essence, it should serve a goal of your life not just show as a loss of time and effort at the and of the day. You will feel much better since it would have increased your own worth, reinstated your pride, improved your emotional standing or add to your financial picture.

I think the best thing to do is to work on things over time instead of saving everything for the last minute.  I always found that when the last minute came, I would just keep putting things off.  Just set aside a little bit of time each day to work on something.  But, oh i know thats harder said than done.

Sometimes. I feel overwhelmed by little things sometimes because the big things seem to drain me. Sometimes reaching out to help that certain person is just too much.

Hate to say it, but you cant.  Always being busy is only a temp. fix.  And all the feelings will come back as soon as u relax, like when ur gonna go to sleep.  So...just try and deal with the probs, graduly.  One at a time.\n\nP.S.\n  Hope it works out for you.

Been there, done that, still sometimes doing it. You've got to have willpower to resist. I know its hard, but you have to do it! Don't let the computer control you! Try to set a time to log on, like noon. Before that, do all you have to do, clean, laundry, etc. Then have some lunch. Make sure you have accomplished something before logging on so you won't feel so bad later. Take breaks in between, like before you check out another site go to the bathroom and on the way back, pick up a few things and put them back where they belong. \n\nWhen you feel that urge to look up something, write it down first! Make a list(maybe 5 items) before you really have to look them up. And log off when you feel there isn't anything else to do. You really need to get your rest! \n\nGood luck!

Everybody goes through stages where they feel stupid. There have been times when I felt like staying in bed all day convinced that I would never amount to anything and that I was just to stupid to do anything right. I got over it. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Whenever we compare ourselves with others, it is never a fair comparison. Concentrate on doing what you are best at and it will turn out.

there needs to be a balance-responsability and play. You can't be so buzy that you don't hear the needs around you and you need to have time to give to yourself. Can you use your free time constructivly or do you find trouble for yourself-only we can answer that for ourselves. So I think it must be the wise person who is trying to use their free time with a mind toward the future.

You say you're "pretty scared," which most people would not say.  You probably have severe anxiety, which leads to depression almost all of the time.  Therefore, it's probably hard for you get motivated to do your work before the last minute, and when you do, you are too afraid of making mistakes.\n\nTrust me, I know.. I've been through it.  Go to a psych.

I feel the same way!  I am a junior in college also.  I was so motivated before but have had to force myself to do things this semester.  I have a test this upcoming Wednesday and a presentation due next Wednesday.  Instead of studying or doing research, I am on Yahoo Answers!  To combat your problem, just force yourself to start working on the paper.  Once you get the ball rolling, you will find it gets easier.  Don't allow yourself to take a break unless you absolutely have to or you will just go back to procrastinating.  Good luck!

Lets just say that you have overcome half of the problem -at least you realize that you are always late.\n\nNow there are two ways to do this:\n\n1. There has to be one or two thing that you are always on time for, there has to be something that you value in your life. Perhaps lets just take a look at what do you do that delays you, other than what needs to be done. If you can isolate those interests, may be then try to see if there is any career and growth possiblities in those activities? I assure you if you are able to find what you love doing and if it is rewarding too, you will never be late or feel bad about yourself.\n\n2. You need to have a disciplinarian in your life, get an instructor, get someone who matters to you and try to improve these habits. Furthermore, you have to either yourself or with the help of friend -start to exercise, this way your body will remain agile and your mind will be fresh to keep you going.\n\nThese will ultimately lead you decide your motivational factors -it is just not possible that you do not feel motivated at all. The problem will be resolved when you have your motivations and your targets in place.\n\nAs a human being we all have a mechanism of self satisfaction and achievement. We need to feel good about something and you need to see whether this feeling is when you are late or when you are in time.

You have to first think back to a time when you felt most proud of yourself, and use that for whatever may come. If that doesn't work for you, then you should look at the present. You want to be motivated to do something, and in order to do that you just need to do it. Much like doing the dishes. There is a huge pile to do, but you lack the motivation to do it. Maybe the result will inspire you. Once the dishes are done and cleaned, you can look back on that accomplishment. This may be from someone who hates doing the dishes, but does it to complete a chore. Think of what you need motivated as a game, when you're competing against yourself, the only winner is you.
