Trying to study amid self-conflicts and doubts. I'm so depressed and worried about my future.
Just love this kind of aesthetic✨️🤍
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:
esse ano vou voltar a estudar pro vestibular, no caso o enem, e por mais que eu queira largar tudo e chorar, vou tentar atualizar meu progresso aqui pra não perder a motivação e consequentemente abalar a minha disciplina (que já é abalada).
this year i'm going to be taking the exams to apply for universities again (here in brazil) and even though i want to give up everything and cry, i'm gonna try to update my progress here so i don't lose my motivation and consequently my discipline (which is already pretty doubtful and damaged)
