Thanks for the reply, Guatam.
I was looking for more of a long-term solution though. I could "suck it up" and make school my number one priority, but I don't quite see what good that would do. I think Twilight is right, and this is more of a purpose-driven issue, as opposed to an "I can't find the motivation to do schoolwork" issue.
Perhaps a mod would be kind enough to move this to the "Character and Contribution" section? Sorry I posted this in the wrong forum.
