i finished my undergrad a year ago. i remember days when i couldn't get out of my jammies, i was so lazy. couldn't stop playing online, i was so lazy. but in the end i was able to see the big picture of graduation and walking away with a degree (or two) and becoming a damned intelligent chemist, and those goals motivated me to jump into work i wouldn't normally be interested in or would rather do more fun things. not to say there weren't times when it killed me to get the work done- like for an unrelated class (sociology for a chem major, for example), where i did the bare minimum and attended the bare minimum sessions, but i went, all for that big picture.
do you see the big picture? and if you do see it,, do you see the path to get there? are you distracted on the way? I wonder about ADD myself. adult ADD is not uncommon these days, and you might want to think about it. mayb eyou just have a mild form, even. but enough that it's making it hard for you to concentrate.
i hope you get some help for it... try to isolate the problem.
one last thing: when i was in grad school i was put on abilify, which made it SO hard fo rme to concentrate. i would sit on the couch or in bed wiht my laptop and do nothing for hours on end when i had so much i had to do. i halfassed assignments that had to be handed in, and i barely did anything of less importance. at the time i blamed the drugs. but the pdoc in the hospital said that while that can happen, he personally blamed grad school since i so obviously didn't want to be there any more, but took so long to finally admit it. it was my body's reaction to my mind's subconscious decision making.
just something to ponder.
good luck.
ps: i took ambien a little awhile ago. i think it's messing with my typing. sorry.
