Well, it got so bad last time because I didn't know what to do post-uni, I thought there was going to be some amazing 'success' from graduating, and there wasn't... I took two months off to 'write a novel' but I was rejected by the person i thought I loved. WoW is addictive anyway, you don't need much excuse to immerse yourself in it. When I started looking for work nobody would hire me at all :/ which made me feel worthless, and I played WoW even more.
My worry is that if I slow up on any of them, I'll lose the job... I can't really take time off from the bakery, since it's a 'real' job, and with the other two... if I slack, I'll be less valuable / lose business.
I have generally had a history of having very hard-working times, followed by extreme laziness though! In the past, I screwed up my last year of college (high-school in the US) by not studying at all. It didn't really matter that much, though I had to retake some tests, and in a way it was a wake-up call since I had always been able to coast before.
I think I'll be able to relax when my partner gets a job, but we're still waiting for his NI to come through, which could take another month... and that's before he can start looking
