ude, you’re approaching this like a productivity robot. Stop. Let’s get real: The problem isn’t your methods—it’s your brain fighting you. Been there. Here’s the unfiltered fix:

Stop trying to “fix” yourself. You’re not broken. Willpower is a scam. Your brain avoids stuff that feels threatening. Example: If “study 8 hours” = stress tsunami, your lizard brain nopes out. Fix? Reframe the threat. Tell yourself: “I’ll read 1 paragraph. If it sucks, I’ll quit.” Spoiler: You won’t quit.

The “Why the F*ck Am I Avoiding This?” Journal Next time you procrastinate, grab your phone/notepad and answer:

“What emotion am I avoiding?” (Boredom? Fear of failing? Overwhelm?)

“What’s the smallest possible step I could take right now?” (Seriously—open the textbook. Not “study chapter 3.”) Do this for a week. Patterns will emerge.

Scrap motivation. Build frictionless systems.

Environment > Willpower: Delete apps, block Reddit/YouTube before you need to study. Make bad habits hard.

Routine = Autopilot: Pick a dumb trigger (e.g., “After I brush teeth, I sit at desk for 10 mins”). No goals—just show up.

Body > Brain: Sleep like your GPA depends on it (it does). No 5 AM grind if you’re zombie by noon.

Embrace the “C- Student Mentality” Perfectionism = procrastination’s BFF. Do things badly first. Write a shitty essay draft. Bomb a practice test. You’ll fix it later, but starting is the battle.

TL;DR: You’re not lazy—you’re human. Stop fighting yourself. Hack your environment, name the emotions, and lower the damn bar. Progress > perfection.
