Basically, tomorrow is my final deadline for my Photography course. My final project needs to be in, completely finished (I'm also halfway through the final exam, it's 6 hours long. I've done the first 3 hours today - it's pretty easy. Just developing photos while listening to music, eating and talking to people

The majority of the work for this project is shown and displayed/recorded in the form of a sketchbook (with about 60 pages). And each one of those needs to be completely filled with images, notes and research on photographers.

And I've done nothing. I've only just stuck my images in, and I havent started the writing yet. And I've got until...uhhh...8:30am. And it's 23:55 right now. So I'm fairly fucked.

Does anyone else have any problems with motivation with work? If so, how do you overcome it?

And also, any help to get me motivated to actually do this work tonight would help. Anything at all. Be creative.

Well, I did do that. And now I've finished 40 pages of writing, with only 6 left to go (my hand hurts like a bitch though). I should get it all done by 8:30, I hope.

Quite honestly, if you cared enough, you would have been motivated regardless.

That can be said true for everything.

Last view: 6085 days 		For me, if I really like what i'm doing, i got my motivation. Like, i enjoy writing stories. I work pretty fast when writing. But, if i had homework to do, i wouldnt be motivated.

You gotta care about what your doing, and actually want to do it to be motivated.

<!--stupid center and width hack-->
Why are you procrastinating? The key to movtivating yourself might lie in why you are procrastinating in the first place.

If you're doing it because the task seems too big, break it up into smaller pieces. Write down dot points first of what you'd like to write, then use those to form your sentences and paragraphs. Give yourself some breaks, and aim to finish a section every... hour.. or so?

Yes.
You can overcome lack of motivation now? Why hasn't anyone told me this?

Just to let people know, I finished it before 8:30am, even had time to make a title page for my project, and then finished the final 3 hours of my exam. So the course is finished now.

And apparently according to my teacher, I've done everything I need to get at least a B grade in my final results. Which is awesome, and proves that my method of leaving everything until the very last minute works...for me.

I would've, but I didn't feel up to it.
