Knew every slide. Could say them in order like a song.
Then problem one.
A Reddit user: "then 9am, exam sheet, problem 1 and my brain was static. β¦"
Could you solve one problem, notes closed?
@Leskipaul lmao procrastination with gains. honestly theres worse ways to avoid studying, and a workout before a session can make it easier to sit down after
@KatheuNzyimi a study partner changes everything fr. even just having someone on call studying quietly with you makes it way harder to drift off. hope you find your person
@the_akoladee so true, one skipped day turns into a week real fast π the good part is getting back is usually quicker than the first time, the habit doesnt fully reset even when it feels like it
@Keyana_Dechez the end of semester slump is so real and youre almost at the finish line. tiny chunks still count, even just opening one assignment today. you got this
@solarjiro burnout is real and studying after work is a lot. here is my 2 cents, go for the big topics first and take tiny breaks so the brain doesnt shut down. you got this
@awkward_spud ignoring it forever then finishing it in a burst is so adhd lol, and honestly kind of impressive. the hyperfocus made something cool, the studying can borrow some of that energy later
@zsthwh getting the official answer is a big deal, congrats. the imposter feeling after a diagnosis is super common, doesnt mean its not real. hope the meds click and studying gets a bit lighter π«Ά
studying in bed usually starts as studying and ends as a nap with the textbook on your chest.
the bed already has a job, and it isn't this. even moving to the kitchen table can change the whole session.
where do you actually get work done?
Hours of rereading. Your notes look full.
Then you close them⦠and your head is empty.
One reply put it best: "β¦ Then I tried writing it all from memory and realized I only recognized it, I didn't actually know it."
What would your blank page show?
the text you didn't reply to usually isn't being ignored. you wanted to give it a proper answer, and now it's been a week and the guilt makes it harder to open.
a short reply today beats a perfect one never.
how many of these are in your phone right now?
