Tengo una problema. Advice?

[starsthatshine]

I think I have a problem. With school and whatnot. I have so many crazy things I need to finish (read: uni and scholarship applications and my school project) but for some reason I never get it done. Sometimes I lack that extra kick in the back to get me going. I tend to feel that spending ten hours or more at school (sometimes 12) I feel as though I need to indulge in something. Usually TV shows.

But in a way, that's bad because even though I take a breather the stuff still's there. I want to finish it and everything but... Panic! My Baader-Meinhof essay is more than stuck; I can't write anything. I'm beginning to doubt what I want to study, what I want to work with. My fandom documentary is going sloooooow. Extremely so.

I need tips: How do you get yourself motivated enough to do something without completely stressing yourself out to the point of a mental breakdown?

I actually stay behind at school with a few friends at least once a week and that's usually pretty useful. Even if I might not exactly write everything, we get to vent about things and after that, things always get easier. But I know what you mean. Working environment is very important. Today is the first time I have to work at home with an essay because it's not finished, so it'll be interesting.

For me, if I decide that there's a new show that I want to watch I think 'well, after I've done this and this I'll watch one episode' and then I end up watching the entire thing if I don't stop myself. Sometimes I think I have a problem that things that I think are funny to do are difficult to quit, like watching a really good show.
