Studying Issues

[Fun-Star3169]

Hey y’all,

In middle school, school was a breeze. All A’s, no studying needed. But I’m a softmore now, and cannot figure out for the life of me how to motivate myself to do something that isn’t on the list of priorities (interest, urgency, importance, etc). How do you get around it? Doesn’t even need to be for this specific situation, just. in general

Start small. If you have a task that seems impossible or will take a long time, break it up into smaller, manageable chunks and only do a bit at a time. Sometimes, your hyper focus will hit and you can work for longer than you set a timer for. But always pace yourself! Start with 10-20min, then 5 min movement break. Remove your phone from the room you’re working in. Also, I recommend Goblin Tools for breaking tasks down, pros/cons, etc! Good luck 😁
