Ugh. I have absolutely no motivation to do anything. I have hardly accomplished any homework at all in the past two weeks. I just keep procrastinating until the last possible second and then half ass it. I also have just been lying around doing nothing. I feel like a waste. I try to sit down and do my homework but I just end up staring blankly at the paper or computer. I really need to get my act together. I only have a week until midterms.

People who are too concerned with how well they are doing will be less successful and feel less competent than those who focus on the task itself... Some psychologists call it a conflict between ego-orientation, or between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation... but in all cases, what counts is whether attention is turned away from the task at hand and focused on the self and its future rewards, or whether it is instead trained on the task itself. The latter attitude seems the more fruitful.
Thought this fit.....especially since you are taking a psychology courses.
