We learn more about self-control. How do concepts such as meaning, freedom of action, goal setting, planning, and intentions affect Susan's ability to do her schoolwork?

Another distraction

Susan finds four more articles: two on conspiracy theories and two on misinformation. She realizes it's getting late, and she still hasn't completed her discussion posts for school. One click later, she is back to staring at the discussion.

"Are you going to do nothing but stare at the computer all night?" Mark asks her. "There's a time for work and a time to relax."

"I have a lot to get done," Susan replies. If she fails this course, her mom will never let her live it down. She can just imagine what her mom will say if she does: "You're too lazy to ever get through school! What made you waste your money?"

"You're just staring, not working," Mark points out. "Maybe what you need is a distraction. Let me tell you about this party that I'm planning."

As Mark launches into a lengthy description of the party, Susan wonders if he has a point about her concentration. Considering how much she's trying to focus but not getting anything done, maybe she does need something to refresh herself.
