all week I've done effectively nothing. It's not like I was playing computer games or anything, but I was just staring at my coursework, simply unable to focus on it + get it done.
I eventually get distracted by facebook or a meal and then try to come back and start up, but still fail. I just feel tired to more I think about the work and end up falling asleep. Despite having good nights sleep plus these various 2 hour 'naps' every day when I try to face the work I just get tired and shit. Even now I've not done any work on it and its 23:10 the night before. final deadline tommorow, 2000-4000 words :<
and I still can't focus. WTFZFZFZFZF

i get my teachers to promise me they'll be pissed off if I dont give them a certain part of the coursework by a certain time, regardless of what the rest of the class are doing by that point. i actually do it by pulling an all-nighter (they've become easier now i discovered red bull is more effective than i assumed it'd be) as the panic of knowing it's in the next day and the teachers expecting it gets me to focus, and 12 hours is normally enough for me to get at least 60% done. those 12 hours are better than 12 day hours as well since i have no distractions and know i literally can't wait anymore, so focus 100%.
remember that, once you're started, the whole thing gets easier, too. though knowing that won't help you start.

but an all-nighter will only work if you know you'll stay motivated (which is why i do it the night before the work is due). otherwise i garuntee you'll (not you specifically) pussy out.

I've only done 400 more words since I started and its 5:10 :< I really should have chosen a better investigation. This one isn't easy to work with.

If i were in your shoes i'd start over again with an easier idea and make up a source thats believable that you could do over the weekend, unless it all went well after all. i've done that with music past the halfway point 3 times (and my compositions take 30-50 hours to complete).
to be honest if the result of five hours work is 400 words I doubt you'd be losing much by restarting.
