Since moving here my bedroom is on the top floor. My "lair" as my parents call it. They dont bother me much. Woohoo cool.

They let me do as much comp as I want.
Problem: Not enough school work is done.

I need to motivate myself away from the computer.

For starters I use my laptop now so I dont play games.

What motivates you guys to get on task. For the under 18 guys....over 18's have the whole.....someone has to put food on the table.......

Yea i used to be that way to back in early high school lol, it was tough overcoming it but eventually I did.. can't really give any advice. For me it was a personal thing.. I just thought about my future and asked myself how i was gonna carry out my goal to succeed.

It's nice to talk about it.. but I live it.. I'm the only one I know of that has HL2 and hasn't finished it... this is it put simply: link immense pain to NOT doing HW (through failing, getting made fun of, etc) and pleasure to getting it done (being smarter, better grades, girls, whatever)

hmm, well, in high school, i would come home smashed on whatever and then write papers for fun, physics, literary, philosophy or otherwise. I was (umm, am) a dork though. I actually like school, so that was motivation enough. Really, it's a matter of finding something interesting about what you are studying. Oh, and occasionally grabbing a friend's aderall (spelling?) made working lots of fun. That is not recommended without a doctor's Rx though.
