The Motivation/Focus Dichotomy

Motivation. Focus. I have both, but never, ever, ever... okay rarely, at the same time. In a single evening I can maintain both for every short bursts, but it seems to swing one way or the other. It is making this semester hell at times.

Motivation to work.... lack of focus.... gain focus... lose motivation.

It's a self-defeating cycle that is being amplified by my perfectionism and the related anxiety and fear of not performing well enough.

I've been trying to conquer this since it started years ago, but it just keeps getting worse.

This does NOT bring me peace.
