You and I both know that you think you have ADD, you don't need me or anyone else to convince you of it.

Try assigning yourself a specific place to sit (e.g. by a desk) that will only be used to take care of homework and other school-related things. If you sit by your computer or recline in your bed, you'll most likely end up surfing the Internet or falling asleep, respectively, as your brain has been trained through repetition to associate those locations with their related activities.

Interesting. I looked up ADD symptoms, and I think they largely overlap INTP traits:

• Easily distracted; forgetful; daydreaming
• Procrastination; inability to complete things
• Disorganization; messiness; clutter
• Difficulty with making decisions
• Behavioral or verbal impulsiveness
• Difficulty with expressing thoughts in speech or in writing
• Significant periods of depression; low self-esteem
• A sense of failure; not living up to one's potential
• A sense of being different, unconventional
• A sense of internal restlessness; constantly active
• Difficulty with falling asleep or waking up alert
• Very sensitive to being told to do something, teasing, criticism, rejection or anger
• A sense that your mind is always active; thoughts jumping - from one topic to the next
• Easily bored; intense need for excitement
• Difficulty with following rules
• Very impatient; low frustration tolerance
• Emotionally sensitive; easily upset, depressed, hurt or angered
• Difficulty with personal or work relationships
• Frequently late or rushed
• Difficulty in estimating how much time something will take
• Impulsive spending and money management problems
• Personal or family history of substance abuse, depression or anxiety
• Difficulty with reading comprehension or retention
• Frequently changing jobs, interests or activities
• Frequently losing or misplacing things
• Perfectionistic tendencies
• Strong need to control or have things your way

I experience 20-22 of the 27 symptoms listed.

Just go to the library, or a quiet lounge. Preferably with at least one other person in the room (though not talking to you). I can't do work anymore if I have easy access to anything entertaining, like a computer or television (unless I'm doing math problems, because that's a whole different function).

You should also uh... 'take care of business' beforehand, cause that's a big distraction.

I won't reiterate what Chruser and Xenn suggested, but I will suggest that you need to force yourself to not do your work. Set a goal - once you've done your work, then you can allow yourself time to work on projects. It takes a bit of willpower, but it's worth it.

force yourself to not do your work

I agree!

lol i was just joking about i have chruser sympthoms. Anyway my bro told me to do something i will tried if it worked i will tell you guys.

I think I have the Chruser symptom.

I think we all have that.

Ah. Yes. Hmmm. Erm...

Tell us regardless, osmoses. We all like hearing advice, whether bad or good. If it's really good, we'll even help pass it on to others.

I think I have the Chruser symptom.

Is there a cream for that?

I used to have the same problem.
I just finally decided to buckle down and get to work, to be honest. Unfortunately, for me, it might be a little late.

If you do have ADD, you might be hopeless, but if you're like me, and simply don't have interest, then try becoming obsessed with something. That'll lead to personal research, which will lead to more research, which will lead to topic-related-but-not-really-research, which will lead to you finding what you want.
After that, it's all will power.

I used to have the same problem.. . . try becoming obsessed with something. That'll lead to personal research,. . . which will lead to topic-related-but-not-really-research, which will lead to you finding what you want.

This in  itself  is  actually  a non-trivial claim.
Although it  would be  interesting to  speculate on
what a system  of reasoning would be  like in which
justified inferences were  seperate and independent
of  the application  of the  rules of  a particular
science,  no single science deals with every aspect
of all phenomena.  Therefore, it is of relevance to
the student  (who engages the act  of  research) to
become familiar with the  results of other systems.
Theoretical  overlap  occurs   when  the  topic  of
another  system  deals  in   some  respect  to  the
elements (although  purely cognitive) of  which you
are concerned.  What you are  doing is showing some
concern  with  the  theoretical  foundations  of  a
discipline.  Skurai,  you are right  to think this,
and it's actually very intuitive.

Einstein did this.

That explains why three days study got me so far, already.
Mostly all A's, Vice-President, and alot more attention.
I sure do love the school Library...
