One Thing That Has Been Making Me Feel Truly Miserable Is My Lack Of Will To Study/work. Working I Kind

One thing that has been making me feel truly miserable is my lack of will to study/work. Working I kind of understand due to my discontent with my career paths, but when it comes to studying I don’t really have that many excuses. I hate my university, but I love my major. So, it makes me downhearted to see how unmotivated I am nowadays to read about economy and related contents. I decided to change this. Everyday for the next weeks, I’m going to be studying for 30 minutes, at least or at most. And the strategy is: no fun pomodoro. I used to think that “Animedoro” was the best study technique out there, but recently I noticed how it’s a tricky trail for me. Since I have been lacking motivation, what I do is work for 20/30 minutes then grab my phone and do infinite scrolling or get lost in a Sex and the City episode. And I cannot make me stop. Today I stumbled into a video that talked exactly about this problem. Instead of doing something fun when you end a focus cycle, do something boring, that makes studying or working seems fun next to it. Or, and here’s my perception, something that doesn’t stimulate your brain in the wrong way. Here are the things that I believe requires thinking, so I don’t lose my focus flow (they are not necessarily boring to me, but some of them tires me quickly which makes me give up on them even quicker):

Reading the news.

Watch someone that motivates me to study/work.

Watch/listen to a podcast about something useful.

Sudoku video.

Math problems videos.

Solve a sudoku problem.

Read a few pages of one of the dense books I’m probably reading at the moment (I'm a slow reader so I know it won't fully distract me heheh)

If working, read an econ paper or something related to.

Or just do nothing. Go for a walk. Make some pancakes. Grab water and contemplate it.

<3 and if doesn't work, that's okay. I'll try something new <3

Here's the video in question:

A1-A2: man, there're so many words I need to know in order to say literally anything

B1-B2: wow, what I know is enough now

C1-C2: man, there're so many weirdly specific words I need to know in order to describe these weirdly specific things I've only seen once in my life. Also I forgot how to say ceiling.

hire me for just whatever

once these 15 million different stressful situations resolve themselves I’m gonna be so normal again. I can be normal and not exhausted

some people need to study too often to remember their lessons and write exams. while some others can easily study their syllabus at the last moment and give their exams. some don't take notes, some do. some cannot read their material easily and need help. some can read and analyse a text on their own. there are still infinite number of possibilities when it comes to academia. it's how you choose what's the best for yourself. only you can find out what works for you. not the student next to you or the studyblr you follow.

i am doing my best with the knowledge and resources i have.

i do not need to judge myself harshly and should treat myself with kindness.

it is natural to have limitations; not every limit can be or needs to be altered, and alteration takes time.

it is not my fault that others neglected me, even if i didn't speak up for myself.

Rick really put 7-8 teenagers (+ a feral satyr) on a boat and never once made them do something feral together like play Bloody Mary or some shit like what were they doing? Actually sleeping? Unbelievable. Wdym they didn’t get Nico to at least once summon some ghost while playing the ouija board??? He should have made someone’s hair catch on fire (someone who isn’t Leo) and have them all frantically run around. The entire series just felt like they communicated together for like 20 minutes in a business meeting in the dining room every now and again and then after that they just stayed with their partners. where was the big group friendship bro where were the shitty truth or dare games at 4am???? Random screaming contests??

please respect people who are mentally ill and disabled who cannot work. please respect people who look like they’re just relaxing all day when really they’re waging an internal war just to stay alive or fight their pain. please respect people who could not finish school, people who had big plans and could not see them through because of disability. people who look from the outside like they’ve “given up” or “aren’t doing anything.” people who are hospitalized repeatedly or permanently, and people who are grown adults who are still dependent on others. please respect disabled and mentally ill people. 

this is not a polite suggestion, by the way. it’s an angry demand. we are people, and we deserve the same respect as anyone else.
