Procrastination and the internet is destroying my life.
Depression Support / by MrTeacher

...See more I procrastinate. which is two words but a whole lot of trouble. I have an addiction to the internet that is destroying my relationships and my career. To give you context, I am a teacher who (because he procrastinates) has a 70 hour work week (because do everything at snail speed) and still fails at his job miserably. I spend too much time watching youtube or googling trump news or even playing video games. I neglect my responsibilities, my work and my relationships. I don't keep up with my marking. I struggle to teach adequatly. I'm doing a piss-poor job of even maintaining a decent nights sleep. I start my day at 3am, I sit in front of a PC procrastinating and doing very little. I put off my marking to the last minute because I don't enjoy it and my working relationships suffer because I can't be organised or efective as a teacher. My colleagues hate me. My students really dislike me (Which is something my TA tells me often) and now I just want to fall back in to selfarm and lock myself away.I'm a failure and it's really getting hard to silence the overwelming negativity. Help me 7Cups, you're my only hope. Please tell me the magic way to stop procrastinating.

...See more I struggle greatly with my ADHD and procrastination and all I read is "cut the distractions off", you know the usual "unplug the internet, turn off the TV". I just can't bring myself to do it, it's almost paralysing. I try and I try but I can't stop being ...well....slavish to my electronics. I can't work in silence, I can't work without the net. Any suggestions?
