Lack of concentration is definitely a symptom of depression. If you are really trying, which it sounds like you are, then I would not say it is lazy or something you are able to control.

Do you have other symptoms?

Taking things in very small steps is a good strategy. Thinking about the whole assignment and the due date can just be too overwhelming. Think - I will just write this one sentence or I will just read this one page. I know depression causes me to get totally overwhelmed even just taking a shower. Baby steps often helps.
