I have a problem with committing to certain things. Like school and work. I seem to get bored easily or very critical and i'm wondering if it's something psychological.

Is it psycological? Thats a wierd question. I wouldn't try to classify your experiance before you understand it more. You're frustrated with it so I'm guessing that you DON'T understand it very well so decideing whether or not it is "psycological" wouldn't be very useful. Understand your issue and feel it more until you have a reasonable grasp of its nature. Then go about changing it.
I like to go for understanding things rather than just labeling them.
Like how someone above me answered "mabey its anxiety"
What the hello kind of advice is that? That doesn't tell you anything.
All I want to give you for advice is to encourage you to increase awareness of your own mind's activities; because if I were to try and answer specifically on your troubles of "not commiting to certain things" or "getting bored or very critical" then I'd end up making a lot of assumtions and probably give unreasonable advice.
Here are some tips to "increase awareness"
- eat, excercise and sleep well
- FOCUS on things, activly and intently, avoid zooning off but if you do, Focus on it! This could be anything: your class, your work, a dead leaf on the ground that you're looking at. I don't mean this as another way of saying "do good". More like I'm saying "You're alive! So see whats up with life."
My friend (who admits to not being an expert) says:
Life is difficult with many challenges and sometimes if we accomplish something and it is not perfect we are dissapointed in ourselves, therefor, it may be easier to leave something incomplete but this acctually becomes a self destructive cycle. It is better to complete something even if it is not perfect to our mind or others and pause and pat ourselves on the back. Complete one thing and a time and feel good about it nomatter what. "Inch by inch,it's a sinch"

Many people like "starting things"... it's exciting because it's new and at the beginning you're enthusiasm is peaked.
But completing things is more difficult for others because it requires getting down to ironing out details that generally don't carry with them the same gratification.
It can be perfectly normal. But you'll find that there is also gratification to be found in finishing a task, as well - so you have to learn to bear down and get through to the end and find pride in what you have completed.

It's just part of your personality. There's nothing wrong with you; a lot of people are like that. Someone told me that if you're 14 years old, you can only concentrate fully for 14 minutes (and when you're 100, you can concentrate for 100 minutes...so on and so forth). As long as you try your best and try to stick to the task you're doing until you finish it, you'll be able to overcome this problem.

Sounds to me that you just procrastinate. It is a downfall for many myself included. I have found if I stick to a schedule I get my work done and still have time for myself. I am 52,work and go to college full time. It was tough at first because I had been out of school for 30 years but by working on my time management and rewarding myself as I reached my goals things have been going great. Start small. If you don't like to take the garbage out make sure no matter what that gets done and soon you can add other things. It takes patience but I know you can do it.

Yeah, it probably is. If it's something you want to do and can't sit down to finish it you could have ADD. You need to speak to a psychologist about it to have it diagnosed. If it's something you don't want to do/ are not interested in, then maybe it's lethargy.

Part of it could be your temperament, but getting bored easily and getting very critical seem to be opposite temperament reactions. Maybe the criticism is immediate and not something that gets heavy reflection though. It seems you might be sanguine and lose interest quickly when something is no longer engaging or fun. Commit to fewer things and work on taking them seriously. Don't expect to be able to change quickly.

Try to think about the future. What will you accomplish if you finish those tasks, such as a good payment from work or have a good grade at school.
Hope it will help you to finish certain things. :)
