tomboi Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I used to be a very studious person.. But the past 8 months I hardly study always getting distracted.. Eg : I have an exam tomorrow , IDC I just waste my time on Facebook reading stupid posts.. Or I daydream about how to make things right with my friend with who me I was rude for a whole week , its preparation leave going on.. I wake up at 9 am sit down studying at around 11 am... As I have to work on the computer mostly I waste my time every 15 mins on something that just popped into my head... And it just eats up an hour or so... I get frustrated and start studying again few mins later I am back where I was...its a vicious cycle myt productivity in the whole day is of just about an 1 or 2 hours!! I am starting to feel I am destroying my life.. But I just can't control my self.. This has been going on for too long help me please I only have about 6 months left and I have only done.. Maths - done physics - 4 chapters out of 16.. I am screwed.. Chemistry - mostly done but i keep forgetting it.. Computer science : I am studying it currently and 3 chapters are left... Mind it its not only about completing the book I need to do extra questions also from different books to get a good hang on it.. Link to post Share on other sites
Buddhist Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Break your study up into 30min lots. Focus intently for 30mins, work through a section then stop. Do NOT do more than 30mins even if you feel like it. Go get a drink or something for 10mins then back to the books for another 30mins. Trying to do hours and hours at a stretch is counterproductive because your brain gets fatigued and the thought of it is off-putting hence the distractions. When you only have to focus for 30mins at a time you retain better, focus more intently and the time flies so quickly. Before long you will have a tidy little achievement that makes you feel good. My productivity went through the roof when I took this up and all procrastination ended. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites
Author tomboi Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 insight to my social life: my few good friends (4 of them) got transferred to other cities in the past 2 years...my social life , I guess everybody hates me except a 5,6 people... i really want to go out and make friends but i realise i am a passive aggressive kind of person, which people ususally don't like and i always end up being alone.. now this friend of mine i didn't talk to about 6 months for not because i didn't want to, i just got busy with other people and she just kind of drifted away, its because she never returned my calls (4,5 times) after that i left it and made new friends.. recently she knew i liked some girl and approached out of the blue we chatted for a day and i said ill meet her in college... later i saw her but didn't approach her, it felt awkward, a week went by i never approached her.. we had a tiny fight, he texted her twice she didn't reply i blocked her.. move on i told my self i already have a lot on my plate this drama will consume a lot of time... its been a month now since we last talked but it seems she still wants me to approach her.. she is always floating around me during the break.. with her friends sits close by to my group..i have always liked her buy I like this other girl too(I cant initiate a convo with her tho)..should I suck my pride and go talk to her out of the blue when she is alone.. p.s: I know ( i am such an ass ) all criticism , opinion and thoughts are welcomed..
