So, I have a paper due tonight, but it's starting to seem impossible to get it done.
We've been trying to work on this stupid paper all day, but I'm having a hard time staying in control of the body to actually get stuff done.
There are so many other things going on in life right now, and it's making functioning around here very difficult right now.
Other parts keep showing up and taking over. Only for short periods of time, it seems, but long enough and often enough that getting any work done is very difficult.
Does anyone have any ways to stay in control of the body? Seriously, I only need a few hours but communication between all of us is sketchy right now, so I don't know what to do. Ugh, so frustrated.

umm sometimes it works if "I" just make time for the one thing, like the paper, and commit myself to that only till it's done. Sometimes it looks like obsession, but it works.. and everything and everybody else just has to wait.
Or asking for help e.g someone to help with study breaks, someone to help find material, someone to help keep things on track
In my experience it doesn't usually work unless you reach a critical mass of people invested in your cause. So maybe if they all knew how important it was, and how it will benefit them too that could help.
But, I guess there is no fail-safe method. I wish you lots of luck and patience!
Still not going so great . . . but slowly, ever so slowly we are starting to actually get some of this paper written. At this rate it might take a year, but at least there's some progress.
