Get on with it

Today, I tried to finish an essay, which is already overdue by 5 days. I know the longer I procrastinate, the longer the pain will last, but my brain is still not working and can't start to write. FML

Send me $25 and I'll send you my masterpiece, "The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy nor Roman nor an empire." You'll get an easy B-/C+. Comments are my genre.

Is this a habit or a one-off thing? Because this is suuuper common with people with autism or ADHD. For now, there may be something that’s mentally preventing you from getting to work. Maybe it’s that you need to find sources first, or maybe it’s that your desk chair sucks and you hate sitting on it, or maybe it’s just “I don’t know where to begin” or your own perfectionism. See if you can get that out of the way first and the rest will follow.

YDI, yeah I don't think you need to even start anymore of its already overdue... Dumbass...

I feel you. I've had 4 essays due for a whole term. i can blame it on my 50 hour work week or my 2 hour daily commute but its purely procrastination.I finished only 2 so far. if I don't get back on track my work won't reimburse me the 4k for this term.

That's called executive dysfunction. Go down to your disability office and explain what's happening. They can probably find a tutor to help you work through it, and hook you up with someone who can get the underlying problem diagnosed and get you some treatment strategies.
