The most effective way to get things done is to have something you want to do even less. I spent hours revising Maths in year 13 just so I didn't have to revise English! :p
Every day seems to be one of those days for me :l Except the weekends funnily enough. I think from the moment I finish work to when I last log off on sunday, I probably match my time spent at work on RS, or if not then pretty close.
I'm really good at working when I have a goal to aim for, like if I feel I can leave early, I'll work super hard. But if I know I'm just gonna be there all day and working normal full time hours I'll just find it really hard to keep motivated to work at a good pace.
Not particularly helpful when we're quite pressured into choosing something to we want to do for 50 years, before we've even experienced 1 year of doing something we choose (as in work, not education).
