Neobergeron has described my situation as well. I think the root of my problem is that I found public education so ridiculously easy that I could skate through it without trying. So by age 18, that was an ingrained habit, and I assumed I would always be able to do so. When I found out that real life actually requires effort, it psyched me out. So here I am telling myself every night that I'm going to stay off the message boards and get some work done the next day. But as soon as I get up the next morning and get on the computer, all of that goes right out the window.

A major part of my problem is that I work at home and don't have anyone breathing down my neck to get things done. One solution I'm thinking about is finding a part time job doing something that requires a lot more effort. Even if it doesn't pay as well, it will at least force me to change my habits.
