Unfortunately I slipped again and I'm oblivious as to how to "take control" again. I'm a high-school student that needs to graduate this year.

My main problem is that I am afraid of failure. I start work and realizing that it might not be perfect, I stop and think about what I should do about it. For some reason this fear translates into wasting time online and I never get anything done. I have to deliver a speech tomorrow and I started since 9. It's 1:40 now and I only have the first paragraph done o.O

I feel like my life is taking control of me. I reserve large amounts of time for "work" but when it's time for work, I don't get much of it done. Right now I feel like work is controlling me. I've taken time away from friends and play, and I've weakened and lost a few relationships in the process. Very depressing. How can I take control again. I have 5 weeks of school left and tons of work to do before graduating. I've got about 250+ hours (or 38 units) worth of homework left which is the equivalent of what should have taken me 13 weeks to do if I paced out my work evenly =O. I've finished 22 in two weeks before but that was last year. Anyway hope you guys can help me out.
You have to have a positive high level outlook on things. 3 or 4 weeks from now how will the speech impact you. In all likelihood the impact will be minimal.

Don't dwell on the negative or it comes true.
