I am trapped in.my own mind.
I haven't done anything productive in over a week- not even counting the convention. Any time I try, I get sucked into a daydream of sorts - only to crawl out hours later and wonder where all the time went. I think this may be my mind's way of avoiding stress, but I just feel like a lazy @** and it's only making me more stressed. I'm running out of time. There are so many projects I've neglected and they just keep piling up. I know what I need to do now, but I don't know where to start. And when i try, the aforementioned daydreams start. I don't expect pity, because this is probably just me being unimaginably lazy. I just kind of want to know how to push back these stupid daydreams that are ruining my life at the moment.

I, too, have issues like you have. My work goes by but I don't know where it went because I sure don't have anything to show for it. I don't have any solutions for you. Just understanding.

When I get overwhelmed about things and the stress of them...
I look at the due dates. And then I do whichever one is due first. No arguments with myself, and I stop making excuses. I just do it. I might want to curse and swear and quite and it might take me AGES. But at least I'm forcing my sorry butt through it. Why not get a timer and set it for 10 minutes? 10 minutes of solid work, and if you drift off it'll bring your focus back. If you work that whole time, it'll be a few seconds of break while you reset it for the next 10 minutes. Or 15 minutes. But I wouldn't set it further than that because then you'd miss too much time when you drift off.
