I hope this works for me, but I am already in doubt. Nothing I've tried has ever helped me concentrate on the tough things in life. These things sound good. Lately I have so little free time that I'm realizing how important sleep is. But I keep staying up talking to interesting people for HOURS. Wonderful things are also horrible if you lack concentration. And horrible things are even more horrible. Oh, and I always have it somewhere in my mind that, "Hey, I'm gonna get such and such done today." Then that doesn't happen because I don't feel like it, and then, "Fine, I'll do it tomorrow. It'll be fun." Then I wake up and don't feel like doing it! Ridiculous! Counting down from 5 is the only trick I know that works, that makes me wake up in the morning, when I actually remember to do it! But I haven't applied it to other things yet. Maybe I should. Also, deciding to crank out an e-mail really fast doesn't do it when you completely lack focus... because then I write an e-mail that takes me two hours to write, EVEN IF I'M CRANKING IT OUT FAST AS POSSIBLE. And by that point I've completely lost interest in whatever I was supposed to do after that. My completely failure to concentrate is phenomenal. I should start a world record for "longest amount of time student held the idea in head of writing a paper that never got started." MAN! I hope this works for me, but I am already in doubt.
