Trying to concentrate is one of the hardest things anyone has to do. Especially those days when you know you have to get things done and you find some way to put it off to the bitter end.

An example would be me today. I knew I had to hand in homework for early Monday morning and it is now 10:30 p.m. and I am sitting here writing my homework out.

Instead of taking time out of my day to do this, I ended up baking cakes and cooking supper. I even cleaned the house before I had even any desire to work on homework. Why is it that every Sunday night ends up the same way, working on homework? Even watching my roommate eat her yogurt and cereal is more appealing than homework. I think people leave the boring things to the very end and when they are tired and ready for bed they realize, “Darn, I still have homework to do,” and that is when they pull an all-nighter I dislike when there is more than just me in the room and everyone else is doing something fun and I have to sit here and do work.

I usually end up ditching the work again and hanging out. I am determined to get out of this habit one day but until then I will have to suffer with the distraction disease.
