procrastination (1 Viewer)

[winwinlucas]

These past few months I've been having trouble focusing...I don't know how to put it but doing work whether it be school-related or not is a struggle. I don't know if I should even say procrastination at this point it's more of neglection? Jesus, I suck at explaining but the drive or motivation to do it has disappeared I don't know what's wrong with me?? My grades are only getting worse but I don't care as much as I use to? before I would cry but now I'm just eh? I have strict parents so I do my best hiding emails/report cards...but I don't even try and improve my grade...I don't know why I feel this way?
Is it just plain laziness or what?
:(
I'm not really good at expressing my emotions or thoughts but I just wanted to put this out there as a release...​

You are in high school right? From my experience a lot of top student kids start getting slower in that age. Worst part about it is that, in this age your grades actually matter (unless you are part of that extremely smart minority who can build a business without the help of school) I am now in college and have lots of regrets about my high school studying habits.

One of the best things that I learnt through life is this dopamine detox thing. If you have one day per week which you completely quit all sort of activities that give you high amount of joy, it will be easier to do more boring activities like studying. Quit any sort of social media usage on this day (preferably don't use electronics at all). No junk foods, no music etc. It's difficult and you will be bored, but it will worth it in the end.

Sometimes when things get too overwhelming somehow it gets the past of point to worrying for me and I just kinda give up, stop caring. I had this happening to me sometimes during high school, not that often there though and sometimes in university as well. It's not always bad I guess, I can still get sth done and I won't feel as stressed about it.. but it will get postponed and neglected a bit. Maybe it's something similar for you.

I'd try planning ur time and workload better so you wouldn't feel too overwhelmed and stressed. And just kinda trying to force yourself to tackle one thing at time.

Sometimes it's hard to find the motivation to persue our objetives or even simple tasks in our lifes, indeed. I think the only thing I could say is the world isn't waiting for us to choose to be in the driver seats of our lives, it depends only on us. Maybe try to find more stuff that motivates you, or maybe small goals that makes you feel complete whenever your reach them?

Ok, I really do like this dopamine detox I think that would be best for me

Thank you for the help!!!

It's definitely normal, sometimes we just lose motivation. I've definitely been through it before. Not sure I really know how to help since I was dealing with other things and never fully got it back until those problems got better but don't worry, you aren't alone, and there will be a lot of people who are willing to help you out

I really can relate to this all. I loose my focus constantly and get distracted by things all the time. my motivation isn’t the best. it affects me all so badly in the end and it‘s just

hope we all can try to motivate each other
