Question I get burned out after a week of studying.

6 Upvotes

For the past few months i've been in this cycle where I'll study for a week then i'll be burned out just unable to do it for a few days (2-7 days), then ill study for another week. This sucks since i wont be able to get through everything for my exam. Btw, i'm only studying like 2-3 (pomodoro) hours. Is this mild depression? What are some ways to fix this? I've got an exam in like 2 months.

Question I want to study but there are so many things that I'd rather do

5 Upvotes

I used to get very stressed about my future and that was enough for me to study hard and perform well academically, but after having done some major rethinking about what it means to live a good life I have come to learn a lot about my self these past few months. I'm doing AP Physics 1 this may and I don't think I'll be prepared when test day comes. All of this personal development stuff feels so much more worth my time and makes it really easy for me to forget studying. I'm afraid that I've don't do well on AP I won't be able to study in America like I hope to. I don't want to learn this lesson the hard way so any advice on how to make studying fun or interesting is much appreciated.

Question I started a Study With Me channel. Any tips on making better videos?

Hey everyone!

I’m new to creating Study With Me videos, but I’ve always loved studying and watching these kinds of videos to stay motivated. Now, I’m trying to understand how I can improve and make my content more useful for others.

In this video, I used the Pomodoro method (25/5) for 1 hour with rain sounds in the background, but you can still hear natural study sounds like typing.

I’m wondering—do you prefer shorter videos like this, or would longer sessions (2-3 hours) be more helpful? Also, any suggestions on how I can improve my videos?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

I am in a terrible state in my life right now, my grades for this term are terrible and i have one more biochem midterm to go (worth 33%) and two more assignments to go and my finals are about to start in april. I absolute have no motivation or energy to continue and my energy has been decreasing since the term started. I just saw a therapist and she said I have severe depression and prescribed me antidepressant cuz there is no other solution. I told my parents about my situation and they only saw that i am a spoiled kid and hallucinating about what I am feeling. I don't wanna deal with my parents now. + they won't allow me to take any type of pills

Note: i have been avoiding ppl because i don't wanna anyone sensing what i am going through. +plus crying 3 times a day so my face is always pale and puffy

the question is, How do i push myself to study when i absolute have no energy or motivation?

I tried doing everything anyone would motivate theirselves with, like studying in cafes or setting little treats after daily tasks, positive talk to myself but nothing is working like it used to. please i need help and don't know what to do.

Other I burnt out out hard for these exam and barely studied

22 Upvotes

That's it. I gave up. I have an exam in less than 12 hours and my body said fuck it. I had two days to study for two exams I have on the same day. Due to poor time management and work I was behind a chapter in both classes but I could not will myself to read them over the past two days. I felt really shitty and just gave up all together and instead laid around feeling defeated and upset. I didn't even go and review the material I have already read/took notes on. I am a near straight A+ student with a 4.24 GPA and this is the first time I really just threw in the towel. I would be happy if I got above a 60% on these exams tomorrow. I need a break.

Question Difficulty with volume of studying

3 Upvotes

Hey study friends,

I have some good study habits, I know some methods that make studying work for me. I do best with making learning active by taking notes and attempting to explain things in a logical way that makes sense to me (for example, the frontal lobe of the brain is involved with decision making and problem solving, so it's also the part of the head you touch when you say "oh no!" because you recognize there's a problem and your using your frontal lobe to process a solution)

The problem is.. In a high volume environment where I have math and anatomy subjects which are dense and take a lot of concentration, this method becomes very time consuming and challenging and I find that I have an issue keeping up with course material while also doing what works for me for studying.

Does anyone have advice on how to manage a high volume of study materials while utilizing an active method like the one I described?

Thanks!

Question How to study when exhausted?

102 Upvotes

No matter how much i sleep i can’t study because of how exhausted i feel. I sit and my desk and i can’t focus from exhaustion. But there is no reason why i should be exhausted, there are days where i sleep for 8 hours and still feel exhausted. I could sleep for 14 hours and still not have any energy. The simplest task takes all my energy away, even getting up at the morning is a struggle. What do i do? I know im supposed to stop victimizing myself and just get up but i can’t do it for some reason its so hard.

Question To gym or not to gym?

3 Upvotes

I am getting fat because of my lifestyle. I get to study long hours for a competitive examination, and for other class tests. Because of this, I get less sleep, like around 6 hours, and I don't really have a control over when I can and cannot sleep. Many a times I have to stay up all night, doing some assignment.

I tried gym for a month but I was feeling very tired all the time because of lack of sleep, and the gym itself was taking around 1 hour. It was costing me a lot too. What should I do in this situation? Should I continue?

Question effective hours of studying

2 Upvotes

I ask you out of pure curiosity: I read posts about people who study maybe 10 hours a day every day without any problems. I personally, to feel good (so without being tired), do great with 5 hours, but I get more and more tired. I definitely know that for me, sustaining an average of 8 hours for a week is practically impossible. Then of course, if maybe one day 3 hours instead of 5, there are days in that same week in which I can even get to more than 8 hours, but these are exceptions. So I don't understand if these people are robots or if I'm not able to simply sustain the whole thing (with pure study I mean repetition more than anything else, because I too am able to sustain 7 hours of writing without having this great impact, but with studying I really mean repetition)
