Iv went back to college to redo my gcse english as i feel iv failed it with the grade i got before my first 2 essays i did no problem but my 3rd is romeo and juliet.

Now its in for tomorrow for the past 2 weeks iv been putting it off for the exact reason why i cant do it, im not even slightly interested in it, i cant get more then 1 line done at a time.

I feel im falling back into old habits which caused me to get a low grade on my last college course and drop out of the one before that, how do i motivate myself to get this done i need atleast a B on this paper to keep my overall grades up.

Everyone suffers from this

I find that the best solution is to find yourself a goal that is visible to you. You won't be able to score well on the thought of 'must get good grade, can't fail', you'll need to find yourself a clear reward. Like if this goes well I'll get a super Deluxe ice cream (just an example ).

make a list of things you like and pick one that you do rarely, cause it's expensive or w/e and concentrate on getting a grade for it's sake.

well reward cant be food im trying to lose weight ontop of this haha

but everyone says that and i can never find a good goal when i have no interest in what im doing all the shit i want to do is a click away nd mates are active so we go out a lot i have no other goals cept get the grade but thats so far away

I graduated last july. Last term had 2 boring courses, and was also working full time. Couldn't get myself sit down and study. Was afraid i'd ruin my gpa or even worse fail a course. Kept imagining myself on the graduation ceremony. How i would get rid of classes, homeworks, projects, etc... Worked well as a motivation.

Imagine yourself both aftermath scenarios: getting a good grade, and getting a shitty one. Maybe it will work for you too.

il try that but never worked in the past but some how i dont think there is any good advice to give just put your head down and work

I didn't mean you should necessarily pick food -.-
go to a coaster park or something

but yeah, in the end it really is putting your head to it. I suppose one thing that might help would be just concentrating on something in general, meditate a bit. think of a face you don't know to well, and continue to think about it until you can recreate the image in your mind with all of it's details...

it helps getting your mind on the task you need to perform.

if im going to think in them kind of details i tend to want to open up 3d max and try model what im thinking strange mind, not sure how to meditate properly (and no before some smart arse comes in and tells you that you just sit there and be quite its more then that) coaster parks are boring after you been once also the fact i am terrified of roller coasters xD i get your point though, slowly but surly its coming down onto paper so to speak not very good at opening up a long essay storys and biographys are easy

^ have you tried going for a run?

I have an essay to finish for tomorrow. It's about half done.

I hate writing without being motivated, but apparently I'm not bad at it and I'll be doing it anyway.

Luckily this is the only English credit I need.
