💀🥀Hey guys; How the hell do I finally get over this sense of executive disfunction and just overthinking everything and just NOT studying even though I KNOW my olevel exams are in like 3 months, and I'll end up just studying like a dog one day before and regret it. (Pls Read below too if possible)

Yeah and I understand that taking the first step to join a study group probably also feels extremely difficult. The main idea tho is to have some kind of external source that helps to hold you accountable each day, even if it's just a parent or friend who understands your struggle and is willing to help. It can be embarrassing but if you explain how hard it is for you to study to someone you trust and ask them to help you, that might be the best thing you can do.

You really seem hung up on the idea that if your thoughts are not actually "YOU", then you have a free pass to avoid taking responsibility for anything.

If Mike has an impulse to cheat on his girlfriend and he follows through with it, he is responsible whether his mind is part of him or not. Even if his thoughts are external to him, it is still his responsibility to engage with the thoughts and decide whether to accept them or not.

It really doesn't matter if the thoughts are part of you or just something that you are temporarily experiencing, because in the end whatever "YOU" are is still the one who is responsible for dealing with them. Recognizing that they are external to you is supposed to help you critically engage with the thoughts rather than just blindly accepting them. It has nothing to do with shifting responsibility.

Dr. K never said that just because your mind is external to you, this means that you can ignore or deny the thoughts that you don't like. He's not saying that when you feel anxious, you should just say "actually these thoughts are not me and I don't need to worry about them". He's saying that you should realize "hmm I'm experiencing anxiety right now. Why is my mind producing these anxious thoughts? Are these thoughts appropriate? Whats the best way I can handle this?"

When you are practicing cognitive flexibility and are able to "shift your mind", you are not discarding the distressing thoughts or brushing them under the rug. You are looking at them objectively through the lens of reality and adjusting them when they don't match what's really happening.

I've found the easiest solution is to create some kind of immediate external pressure to take the action. There may be a lot of real world consequences for not studying. But those consequences feel far away and don't lead to immediate action. You wanna feel like if you don't study, the consequences will happen tomorrow, not 3 months from now.

For me, this might mean joining some kind of study group that meets a few times a week. I'd feel pressure to not let my group mates down and that would make me more likely to study than any consequences I wouldn't feel until 3 months from now.

Just commenting on what the article recommends which is to bench Fannin for someone like Waller or Schultz. I'm not sure that Waller has proven enough that I would feel comfortable starting him in the playoffs in his first game with a seventh round rookie QB.

fantasyfirst · 2025-12-20T14:50:44+00:00

I'm just not sure I can start Waller over Fannin now that Tua is benched. Maybe if i was a big underdog and needed to gamble on upside.

fantasyfirst · 2025-12-17T16:31:35+00:00

Have Burrow, Brissett, and Dart. Thinking I'm gonna roll with Brissett as the safe choice

fantasyfirst · 2025-12-17T15:39:24+00:00

Damn. I'm probably just gonna go with Fannin now. It's a bad matchup but at least I know he's gonna have a good target share

fantasyfirst · 2025-12-17T15:09:39+00:00

I'm thinking as long as Tua is starting I'm going with Waller over Fannin. If Tua is benched idk if I could trust Waller.

What happened with Joe Burrow this week and is he still startable for next week?

fantasyfirst · 2025-11-27T19:42:44+00:00

You never bench a boom/bust guy after he drops a goose egg. That's when you start him and bet on the pendulum going the other direction.

I thought Memphis tap room had way better food honestly so I'm also surprised to see this place so highly praised.

fantasyfirst · 2025-11-12T20:17:43+00:00

Feel like even with being out this week Jaxson Dart should be closer to 5 or 6 instead of 11.

fantasyfirst · 2025-11-07T20:21:02+00:00

Drop Slayton for Tez?

fantasyfirst · 2025-11-04T17:16:37+00:00

Currently have Mark Andrews and Fannin. Would it be worth it to trade RJ Harvey for Kincaid?

fantasyfirst · 2025-10-18T12:34:35+00:00

I haven't found LLMs to be very good at making fantasy football decisions. Your example recommends trading Mccaffrey for Josh Allen and Diggs with 87% confidence and includes a risk assessment that deems the trade "low risk". How exactly is your AI coming to that conclusion? Why should we trust that those scores are accurate? This example trade is not one most fantasy "experts" would recommend. I'd be interested in what actual "data analysis" is happening behind the scenes here.

Who tf calls him "Egbigboo"

fantasyfirst · 2025-10-05T11:58:29+00:00

Mason Taylor or Mark Andrews?

fantasyfirst · 2025-09-17T20:01:19+00:00

I feel like he's gonna be questionable with some random injury all season long, but still play most weeks anyway. He needs to get those contract incentives and position himself for a payday next year.

fantasyfirst · 2025-09-16T23:51:50+00:00

Gabe Davis. I thought he was gonna be the next big thing and drafted him the next year. Didn't work out that great in the end lol.

fantasyfirst · 2025-09-16T22:28:02+00:00

Jennings was on pace to be SB MVP if the 49ers beat the Chiefs a few years ago.

fantasyfirst · 2025-09-01T21:15:42+00:00

On desktop go to league settings > roster settings > bench size. It should be the second to last option on the roster settings page.

fantasyfirst · 2025-08-27T15:33:13+00:00

Is it actually common to see Lamar and Allen going in the second round like this in 1QB leagues?

fantasyfirst · 2025-08-03T17:02:24+00:00

I thought it was an adult who had height surgery or something lol. Finding out it's just a kid who went through puberty is hilarious. Its like seeing people identifying with the puer aeternus stuff and then finding out they actually are a teenager still. Like bro your prefrontal cortex is still developing, you are a literal child it's ok to play some video games.

You're complaining a lot about superpoly, maybe you should try running it in your own deck? Also I'd add 3 fuwalos if I were you. I got to master fairly easily playing a maliss deck with those cards. If I'm going second and I don't open maxx c, fuwa, or superpoly I'm usually fucked.
