I never really managed to get into the habit of studying for school, and even when i tried and sat down somehow always in like half an hour i caught myself thinking about or doing something completely different. Now that im about to enter university im afraid that i will not be able to continue like this without heavy consequences. What systems and tips did you find useful for school related work and doing stuff without interest in general?
What worked for me was having a couple good friends in my degree program, and always doing the homework together on campus. I never did homework actually at home, and that did wonders for my concentration. I was able to say “if I’m on campus, I’m doing my coursework. If I’m home, I can do whatever I want”, which really helped mentally.
Its kind of annoying how many times when i had the opportunity to study in school more i convinced myself that i have to go home to study more efficiently, just for me to then do nothing all day at home. Thank you, hope that hearing this from others will make me stronger to decide better next time.
Of course! The biggest help for me was having friends that kept me on track, just as I kept them on track. It’s easy to convince yourself to take a 3 hour study break. It’s hard to convince yourself and a couple friends of the same. Good luck!!!
