I'm 15 lectures behind and my semester is already circling the drain. I'm such a worthless procrastinating piece of shit that I need to make a public thread just to force myself to do basic human tasks. Every time I finish one lecture + take actual notes (not just staring at the screen), I'll reply here. If the thread dies with no updates, you can assume I gave up and went back to rotting in bed like usual.
If you are also a procrastinating piece of shit join me in this thread and post updates of whatever you are procrastinating on (assignments, job apps, cleaning, showering, whatever).
fucking NEET go study
You have ADHD, get diagnosed and try to get meds. Its harder now thanks to normies abusing them but its still worth it, don't continue to struggle.
I'm a master in the art of procrastinating.
>>84430946That's what I'm trying to do anon jeez.>>84430949No I'm just a lazy piece of shit.
>>84430949Man I just started meds this does not work, lexapro aint shit. What do y'all take to retain a smidge of focus
>>84430954the meds guy was kinda right, I completely get it too but like, 15 lectures behind, it gets to a point man.If I had a tip to give it'd be to just start, its usually not half bad once you begin and so long as you actually get your foot in the door, and dont half ass it you can usually get whatever it is done quickly.Play some music, ASMR, something, it helps with the focus I think.
OP, I've been in this situation and lapse into it regularly. But seriously man, all it takes is a willingness to engage with life, confront fear, and plan ahead. For example in my current job I held off applying for this exam which would help me get ahead in my career. I just thought about it for ages, kept putting off applying for it, etc. Then my ex and I broke up for good and I felt so carefree about life and weirdly fearless that I just applied for the exam on a whim and allowed myself only a week or so for revision (a long ass book). But that pressure led to me grinding away and passing the exam, and my life then moved forward. Set yourself a deadline and work towards it every day, get into a habit and you'll find yourself returning to that habit out of instinct, and then you're pretty much set.
>>84430931>15 lectures behindLiterally, what the FUCK are you doing? I'd think you would have realized something was 'off' after missing 3-4 lectures.
Finished one lecture, 14 more to go>>84430985You're right, starting is the hardest part. >>84430992Good advice anon.>>84430996Kek. Technically thise 15 lectures are the total for two different classes, so for each class it's only around ~7 lectures behind, which is still bad but
>>84430996Damn this picture made me realize that people used to wear colorful clothes. I feel like nobody does that anymore and sticks to neutrals or dark colors
>>84431272My mom wouldn't let me wear all-black in high school (2003-2007), but these days, I wear black all the time. Little did she know that I was just...ahead of the curve.
>>84430931I take everything to the last second because I've been conditioned to understand that I'm capable of amazing things and I had to get two research papers done to be turned in last thursday, I started them Thursday at midnight, have them ready to go by 6:00 a.m., turned in by 9:00 a.m. both those classes I have 99% grades
>>84430931Had a similar issue with my school work/studyingWhat finally worked for me was going somewhere like a coffee shop with my laptop and doing all of my lessons there. I'm just too easily distracted at home and otherwise I'll just procrastinate and do literally anything else.
effective studying tips. please and thank you. ;)
OP i am in the same boat as you but worseI cannot fucking stop every single fucking semester I do this to myselfevery single fucking semester I tell myself "I will never do this agin" current situation: >taking ONE FUCKING CLASS this semester>need C to not get kicked out >Did not take midterm worth 15% of grade because im retarded>"eh I'll lock in">8 weeks pass>haven't done anything>"whew that was bad. I still got like 3 weeks left tho" >do nothing>now 4 days until final exam >need to master 11+ weeks of content in 4 days >COMPUTER NETWORKING CLASS BTW MOST HARDEST CLASS IN THE FUCKING DEPARTMENT :D DH*H*EWY*(FY*DWYHFDnot to brag but I am actually the biggest retarded in this thread and perhaps this entire website this isn't one bad semester BTW i've done this about 6 fucking times now over the course of 4 years im so fucking retarded
>>84431816Oh boo hoo faggot, cunts winging about being the worst at procrastinating and lazy, this is peak mental illness. My room is fucked, not even the worst of it
>>84431816I can only hope this isn't serious how the fuck do you brainlets actually exist in the real world.What do you mean you've done this multiple times, and your entire life relies on getting your degree.You aren't retarded you're just the laziest bastard your side of the world, congratulations you're at least #1 in something.Go study.
>>84431875its called mental illness is it just "laziness" if its so pervasive and chronic? do you think I enjoy being like this? making the same mistakes and falling into the same cycles for almost half a decade if I could just will myself to "be better" obviously I fucking would
>>84431862A text post could never do justice how fucking invasive and destructive "laziness" has been for my life
>>84431816at least its a hard class anon i can do the same thing but with a shit easy class, currently taking the semester off to refresh on stuff i need for next semester bc my dumbass barely passed and need to retain that shit for future classes and missed class signup goddammit
>>84431902yeah go to a hospital dipshit, or seek therapy, or get medicated, theres millions of ways to get better and you'd rather dig your head in the sand. This shits half understandable if you're a sloppy lazy teenager but we're all grown ass men, motherfucker fix your own problems.You need to be willing to help yourself before anything happens, you aint gonna get nowhere feeling sorry for yourself.
>>84431613>What finally worked for me was going somewhere like a coffee shop with my laptop and doing all of my lessons thereNormgroids do this all the time I think they're on to something.
Finally finished another lecture, 2/15 lectures done.>>84431816>>need to master 11+ weeks of content in 4 daysAnon it might genuinely be over for you., I'm only about two weeks behind for two separate classes, you are infinitely more cooked than me.. what will you do?>>84431862>My room is fucked, not even the worst of itAre those cigarette ashes or mould? Also can we see the rest of the room, now I'm curious how there might be worse than that.
>>84431862show us the whole room hoarderanon
>>84432062>..what will you do? its over. What I'm doing now is accepting this is my life. This is literally my breaking point like I probably need to get medicated at this point I have been fucking up in the same way for so long idk dude idk dude its over. its just over.
>>84432094You should talk to an academic advisor or something and tell them your grandma died early in the quarter and you've been to depressed to do your class, they might give you another chance
>>84432153that's not happening I've tried it before they still dismissed me for a semesterI have literally been on academic probation for every semester except 1 over the course of 4 yearsthis cannot be excused by life circumstance its actually over for me
>>84432192>I have literally been on academic probation for every semester except 1 over the course of 4 yearsYou should have been medicated 4 years ago..
Accept the loss of the semester and reach out to your university IMMEDIATELY and detail the struggles you are going through. Seek out a psychiatrist, unis usually have some sort of mental health support. Just talk to them and be open about your situation, you have patient client confidentiality. Just avoid topics like suicide and harming others and you will be fine.I believe in you anon, you can push through this.
>>84432062It's ash from ciggies, had spilt water on the floor and it kinda clumped together. I'm going to clean my whole fucking unit I swear to god, I'm just living on nightmare/suicidal/alcoholic mode rn >>84432090Nah g, it's fucked, too depressing to even indulge anons with my mental health
>>84430931Bro how do you think I feel? I've got a 500 word essay that is due in 3 months time and I haven't even started it yet.
>>84430996these people's lowest lows in life are higher than my highest high.
