How do I actually carry out my plans when it's for something I don't have much interest in?For example I've been meaning to study for most of the day but only got it done the last hour.
>>34449760i kinda have the same problem. the best way i found to get around this is to get out and study somewhere outside of your room. personally i like to go to the public library since it's quiet but really anywhere with free wifi will do. i would also recommend using a laptop with nothing on it except whatever you need to study. you could also just get an adderall prescription but it might make you focus on everything but your school work. it's really a gamble sometimes i'll get an entire week's worth of stuff done in one day or i will do nothing but doomscroll, game, jack off, et cetera
what helps me is building the habit by starting with short sessions etc..
i wanna be friedns i have the exact same problems
>>34449760It's hard. There is no magic trick to make it easy. The things you want are locked behind 10,000 hours of unpleasant emotions.
>>34450199Depends on what you like to do for fun.
>>34449760Theres a book called atomic habits, read that.Also, if youre too weak to do it alone, admit it and then do it with someone else.Just ask sb if they already have someone to study together with.Might take a few attempts but there are many like you out there, some will even be thankful for you reaching out.
>>34449760>>34449965Take away the distractions and put yourself in an environment where doing the thing is the only thing. library is great, I went into the office on weekends (with permission), at some point I rented a desk in a shared office space for a month to work on my thesis (which is a bit extreme, cost wise). I went there with my work laptop (at least have a dedicated profile on the pc) so no recommendations or tabs or youtube history or whatever. once you are set up, try a pomodoro timer or something. 25 minutes straight work, non-distracting music or white noise. short break (5 min). back to work. after 2 hours, a longer break. For studying I recommend longer intervals (45, 50 minutes) 25 were good for writing. And then consistently go to that study space. up to you how often that is necessary.
