<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I've always been a good student and continue to get decent grades, but I'm not getting as "into" the work as I used to. I do the assignments well still, but just have lost my general interest in learning. This is also leading to more procrastination which is just making life very stressful. Any suggestions? I just think I need a new philosophy towards learning.</p>
<p>Anybody???</p>
<p>I have a similar situation to yours. I dont like learning somethings at a certain time but I do at another time. I also like learning it different ways sometimes. School kid of gets in the way of this.</p>
<p>Also im lazy.</p>
<p>Perhaps you have an attention deficit disorder. If so, then prescription medications work extremely well :)</p>
<p>I’m the same way. I’ve always managed A’s or a B+ plus at worst while avoiding homework, but this year I decided to get working. You just have to get the mindset of getting stuff done. Imagine yourself getting into your dream school and finishing this one assignment being the thing that make or breaks your app. I think it also helps to make a check list of all home work with a box next to things that need to be done today and a triangle next to things that can be worked on the next day.</p>
<p>When I need to get work done I go to my room, shut the door, turn on my dubstep/electronic music playlist, and get it done. Pump up music motivates me to get my work done. Is my method weird? Yes, but does it work? Yes.</p>
<p>I’m sort of in the same situation as you. I still take pride in my work and get my usual 90+ grades, but high school is just super boring now. I think it has to do with the fact that I’m a senior and I’m simply eager to transition into college and focus on majoring in what I want to learn and actually find interesting.</p>
<p>Welcome to High School, most everyone feels this way.</p>
<p>Thank you for the suggestions! I don’t think I have ADD, as I can focus in class perfectly well. Most of the trouble happens at home when I have distractions like this website to keep me from doing homework.</p>
<p>If you have a mac, download “self control”. Free website blocking program. I use it during midterms and finals… I should probably use it more often.</p>
