I know I'm smart and capable of doing things efficiently, but I'm too lazy to do work?

I hated grade school too. The teachers would tell my parents at our many parent-teacher conferences that I was smart enough to do all the work, they could tell by my test scores, but I still failed 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 8th (yeah...) I had to wise up in High School though, we needed a certain amount of credits to graduate. Just do all the assignments, or just work on them in class and turn in the bit that you've done. I didn't get a job until after my first degree in college, and it wasn't even in the field I studied for! I love video games too but later in life, when you have to start thinking about a career; There's no money in video games unless you luck into a major developer. I didn't do anything productive for a year after high school. I just hung out with friends and smoked a lot of pot. Now I have three Associates of Applied Science Degrees, working in my field, and making $25.50/hr at 26yrs old. **** will work out, just suffer through High School first. Btw, since you and me both know how pointless algebra and **** is, just go to a technical college like I did. Like I said, 3 degrees, and only $13,000 in debt isn't a bad deal, could be a lot worse. And doing relevant school work in college is much different than the pointless grade school work. I'm pulling for you man, it'll work out.

Repeat after me..."Do you want fries with that?"

I am the same way honestly. I probably cant give too much advice here but i find that setting goals does help -- ill be it-- not detrimentally but it still helps. To maximize this try setting daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and 5 year goals. This helps me... if im not being to lazy to, you know, set a goal. I never found any of those productivity apps helpful but you are welcome to try. I did find one that actually helped me and its called LifeRPG i think and i set up rewards and everything. But other than that you and me are in the same boat
