You guys have completely and utterly failed me

I'm a student who's really sick of trying to get work done right now. I found this site, and this sub, a while ago, but all the advice is like "sleep more" "eat more" "clean more" "meditate" "serene" "sauna" "bath" "laundry" etc and I am sick and tired of hearing this. I'm tired of hearing what I should do to feel better, I want to know what I should do to get this fucking essay and these reports and this exam study done.<br><br>I have been slipping all semester, all of my grades are slipping, all of my assignments, my whole life is a fucking mess and I just want someone to TELL me how to FOCUS ON WORK AND NOTHING ELSE.<br><br>I know I'm fucking up. I know I have to fix it. I've been in school for nearly 8 years and found this sub about 8 months ago and found the site about a month ago and I did exactly one thing on the site that may have helped and I never followed through.<br><br>I've read so much advice in so many places, but I don't know where to actually start. I've been reading and reading and reading and for the last 3 and a half hours I have written 2 sentences for this report for a class that I need to graduate. I've barely done any work in my favorite class, where the work is actually really fun. I've done a terrible job on all of my assignments recently.<br><br>I need help. I need someone to guide me through this. I think I'm going to crack up if I have to do any more of this alone.<br><br>Is there any advice that helps you focus? How do you actually do your work?<br><br>Edit: After I posted this I was just going to go and continue doing nothing, but I found a video that was made for one of my classes that showed me how to use this site for focus stuff. I did an hour of work on a 3 month old assignment, then took the reward and did another hour, then failed to focus on the third hour. I told myself I could do whatever I wanted for an hour, just no video games, and then I'll do another hour and try to go for 3 hours for the rest of the night.<br><br>I did 2 hours of work today, and I'm going to do 3 more. That's 5 hours of work, and that's my best day in a while. It's not a lot, I did a lot more when I studied for my last exam for the same class, but that was a long while ago. Back then, I did several days of 8 hours of work. I've been one of the students who studies the most in that class, which is evidence that I have the capacity for this. Now I barely study at all.<br><br>I don't know what's wrong with me. Back then, I didn't need any help for focus. I feel like I'm falling backwards. I'm just really glad I was able to surprise myself today.
