I barely did any work today
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 22nd, 2013 11:28 PM Author: cruel-hearted obsidian plaza I had things to do, but spent most of the day fucking around on my phone/the internet, barely billed anything, now I'm falling behind. I can't focus for shit lately.
This is going to do me in eventually. Sometimes I wish I could just do doc review all day.
Anybody else deal with this crap? I'm pretty disgusted with myself. |

Then I get in late, start sipping coffee and browsing web, and before you know it my morning is wasted. Then I'll spend an unfocused hour trying to do shit, then what do you know, it's lunch! But I'll be really productive after lunch! Then what do you know, after lunch it is time for more coffee and more web surfing! Then what do you know, it's almost time to go home! And then I am disgusted again, promise tomorrow I'll do better. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2263528&forum_id=2#23252619) |

Date: May 23rd, 2013 10:44 AM Author: useless offensive senate Yeah for the most part lit doesn't really work that way unless you have a partner who just creates artificial deadlines so he can review your work and make you do a million changes. But at this point I am pretty trusted so I have a lot of shit with 2-3 week deadlines and no one really cares when I do it so long as it gets filed. This means I wait until the last possible minute and then do a ton of work to get it done. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2263528&forum_id=2#23254550) |

I finally go to bed way too late, wake up at six, and BAM -- the pressure finally kicks in and I bang out like 8 hours of work in four hours. if I could just always summon 20% of that extreme mental clarity I get right near the deadline, I'd be so much happier and way less depressed (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2263528&forum_id=2#23254109) |

Over the past couple months I've gotten into a good groove though. I still have off days and even off weeks, but being productive is so rewarding (relieves so much stress) that it's not too hard to form a habit once you manage a week or so of it and really start feeling the benefits.
Couldn't do it without adderall though |
