Exams, assignment deadline are all looming and I'm fed up of it all, I just don't seem to have any motivation anymore. I have been feeling like this for a few weeks but its going worse if anything.

I don't understand whats up with me.

Don't worry I feel the same way. However I am only doing AS so might be a bit different.

quite often i also can not be bothered to do work, I always find my work is better quality if i leave it to the last minute. If i do work early, i have low motivation and therefore the work is poor, but at the last minute, i know it has to be in the next day, or the day after so i know it has to be done then, so i more motivated to do it.

I know the feeling...I did nothing for two days cause of a lack of motivation, and now I am busy worrying. I need to shake it off and log off the internet I think!

I am doing some work (about 2 hours a day) but I should be doing lots more.

I keep saying today I will get this and that done but only achieve 35% of my goals.

But the lower goals mean I will fail thats the problem. Unless I sudenlly get a load of motivation at the last minute. I think I just worry too much.

It is better to miss a high target than to achieve a low target.
