<p>I have such a hard time focusing on my work.
I'm one of those top students who get fairly good grades and good test scores, but always struggles on finishing work because they always procrastinate.
I honestly can't focus....

<p>The resolution that might work for one person might not work for you. You need to determine the cause of your procrastination and then work on resolving it.</p>
<p>You have caught Saugus syndrome; a syndrome characterized by an extreme lack of focus when doing a large project. It is repeatedly pushed off until 10:30 the night before it is due, and by 12:00 you are too tired to continue. You set your alarm clock to 4:15 for the next morning, but wake up at 6:00 to discover that your plan has failed horribly and that you must now skip breakfast to quickly finish your essay. Soon, you call in sick to your first and second period classes, and appear triumphantly in your third period English class, holding your rushed essay.</p>
<p>Somehow, you get a 98/100 on it with plenty of good comments. You feel fantastic and go procrastinate on the next essay.</p>
<p>This strategy has failed but TWICE in my high school career so far. The only times that it messed me up was when I didn’t use proper MLA citation and got a 65/100 on a research paper, and when I stupidly used floating quotes this year because I didn’t know how to work them in. 58/80</p>
<p>My advice would be to eliminate all distractions. Go to your local park and work there. Of course, then it’s too hot and the weather is distracting.</p>
<p>This is senioritis. You just can’t focus on anything…</p>
<p>^
What if you have senioritis as both a freshman and a sophomore?</p>
<p>^It’s called premature senioritis</p>
<p>Yup - I have it (and I feel like stabbing myself in eye right now – I have 10:00 PM deadline tonight to hand in my project and I’ve putting it off for so long ugh )</p>
