I think I have a serious problem now. I can't seem to do any work at all. My job right now consists of sitting in a computer lab every night for six hours where I do nothing but surf the net. I don't keep up with the smallest assignments that my two classes are giving me. Tonight I was trying to work on a character development assignment for a screenwriting class, which should be fun, but I just couldn't move my fingers on the keyboard. It's awful because I need to be creating a resume and finding a job but I can't do that either. I haven't done an ounce of work in weeks. I can't concentrate on anything.
I think I need to take a moment to stop punishing myself and try to figure out what the problem is psychologically. Maybe it's that there is no specific goal in mind. I'm a college graduate now. Before, it was always go to class and get through school. Not that I made it my top priority; it was just the thing I was doing and it allowed me to do other things on the side. I guess it's what people call "structure". Now that I've finished that, there is no plan for the future. You might say that I need to figure out a plan and make that my goal, but somehow that isn't clicking. What can I do to overcome procrastination and laziness? I hate doing nothing but I think it feels like nothing has any point anymore because there is will be no definitive outcome to it.
Also, so I don't have to come up with a second thread. Do you guys have any advice when it comes to job hunting? Is it appropriate to send my resume to places first instead of trying to find employment opportunities businesses are offering?
