Daydreaming

I've hit another tough barrier to break through - this time almost purely psychological.

Work has become a lot harder recently... I should be working harder and be more organised but I'm not responding well to the pressure of it all. But when I spend all day on something that could be finished in a few hours, and rarely even finish it then... unless I spend my time doing it into the early hours of the morning.

The problem is discipline.... which I find contradictory seeing as I train parkour to become mentally strong enough to apply myself to anything I need to do.
I think that being aware of a problem is the biggest thing, and like most things, pushing through it until something clicks seems to be the answer.

I hope it clicks soon though, because I certainly do not want to be exhausting myself and using my time inefficiently for much longer... especially seeing as my grades will slip as a result of it.

Work is very important to me, I just can't see it when I'm actually thinking about applying myself to an aspect of it. This makes it similar to conditioning in particular, as it can be very hard to apply yourself to 100% and regularly. And what is my way of overcoming a lack of will power to condition properly?

.... the problem is that I don't have one, I usually either just do something when I feel like it and the rest of the time slack or lose focus very quickly.

I could be desciribing my work or conditioning here.

I need to think deeper about how I apply myself... and DO more as well as thinking about DOING more.

I will see an improvement soon I'm certain, and update this when I feel I have made progress.
