Head down butt up!
You'll be happy to if you just force yourself to do your work. Try doing it in short periods and away from any distractions so your mind has no excuse to wonder off. It isn't pointless, I don't know but you must be at school or uni, which both are not pointless. Think about your future, where you want to be and how all little things can help you succeed your goals.

Try to enjoy what you do - even if you have to say it to yourself so much that you believe it. If you can't manage that maybe you should consider a career change.

I think everybody has patches where they just can't seem to find the motivation to do anything and feel everything is pointless. Im sure even the people that always seem so happy have this problem. The thing is you can either sit and wallow in your own self pity about how awful everything is, or you can go find £1, get yourself 3 creme eggs, watch Jeremy Kyle, and as if my magic (or sugar), life is fab again! :biggrin:

Oooo I managed to rip my phone into 2 pieces yesterday (was pretty funny at the time) so im also at a loss for certain numbers lol! But hey, you never know you might meet said person again, and there will probably be many more people who's number you will manage to keep who you also really like! Just be positive. Ok, I have a phone thats in 2 pieces, but I just pretend I have 2 phones, only one doesnt have a screen, and one doesnt have any buttons! Its great fun!

On the other hand you may now feel that it is probably best not to take advice from me as my sanity is questionable.

It is a pain when you don't feel motivated.

But yeh do small doses of what you need to do!

you could plan out a 'routine' of something and ensure that you stick to it.
