Hi everyone,

I've managed to do very well in school.. but that's only because I've somehow miraculously been able to finish my assignments/study for exams the night before/day of. However, this is always so BLOODY stressful .. I can't continue this pattern of behaviour! (plus for work in the real world and grad school, it's just not feasible... i.e. you can't complete a Ph D in one night).

At first I thought it was my ADHD (recently diagnosed) that was my problem in not being able to consistently work on things... y'know.. on a day to day basis. And that may be a major cause of it. However, I have recently begun taking Concerta for it... And now I'm not sure if it's because of my ADHD symptoms or just a lack of motivation?

I want to be a good worker/diligent student.. but I can't seem to bring myself to improve my work habits. I've tried reasoning with myself, willing myself to be productive... I just.. I can't seem to organize myself or bring myself to just BEGIN working.

Help!!!!
