My final exams start in less than 3 weeks and I'm struggling to be diligent enough to study for them. I'm finding myself looking for distractions on my phone or the internet (kind of like this, I guess) instead of studying. I know I need to work and I want to, but I cannot find the will to actually work without actively turning to other things. I'm telling myself it's just a month or so of really working then it's all over and I can properly relax, but that isn't working. I need the highest grades and I'm good enough to get them, so I'm terrified I'm going to let everyone down because I "couldn't be bothered". I'm the golden girl, the highest achiever in my grade... and I have zero willpower to work. Need advice/motivation please!

mother handels the daughter life
Hi, My name XYZ. In my family we are 4 members. Father, Mother, my elder sister and me. Up to my BTech i was very happy and joyful and my mom also supported me...
I can relate so much with this. This is also happening to me. Well, i can't say much but you know, like, try to find 1 or 2 days to actually refresh your mind. Try to find the reason why you can't study and resolve everything that make you don't want to study. Try to enjoy the material you are learning, i know sounds stupid, but hey it work for me, you wont even realize you already study for 3 hours. And only study when you want to study. Studying for 1 hour is far better than studying for the entire day but you keep going back and forth on social media. Lastly, don't be too hard to yourself. Sometimes the pressure make everything seems scary. But remember the last time you went through exam. After the exam you must think, it's not that bad after all. Maybe it's just us telling ourself that we can't do it, or it is too hard when in reality you could do it, or you can even catch up the material in 1 week and you gotta be just fine. It's not that i told you to procrastinate, but rather if you say you are the golden girl with the good grades, then you shouldn't be too hard to yourself. Believe me cause I'm the same. And when you loosen up yourself a bit, ignoring all the expectations and pressure, you would realize it's not that bad after all. Of course you need to study but only study when you have the will, don't force yourself. Also good luck for your exam!
ReplyThink of your goals and dreams in life and work towards that. Also, make a concrete calendar on what subjects and lessons you will study.
fellow "expected best achiever" here and still struggling to find a purpose as I constantly get reminded that I can't get out of my bad habits when the pandemic started.
ReplyThank you! And same for me, I was actually pretty good at being diligent before the pandemic but I seem to have lost all ability to study in a focused and productive manner. Best of luck to you:) you'll find that purpose again
