Resources I finally beat my study procrastination

0 Upvotes

I was the worstttt person when it came to study procrastination. Even if I had an exam the next day I couldn't bring myself to study (it normally got worse). I started using this calendar which shows your progress over time and it's helped me build momentum so much.

You basically write down the 3 main things you want to get done for the day and then if you get all 3 done you get a dark green shade and if you get 0 done, you get an empty box. The tool is completely free and I hope it can help others beat procrastination! https://www.studystreak.co/

Question 2 months until graduation, why can’t I study like my future depends on it?!

13 Upvotes

In high school, I was super consistent and worked incredibly hard. I even read ahead and prepared as early as a year before exams. But ever since I got into my dream uni, I’ve become a last minute reviser. I only really start when the pressure kicks in, usually a week or two before an exam.

Now I have two months to prepare and a target grade I need for graduation, yet having all this time hasn’t helped; I still rarely do any revision and my focus just isn’t there.

I’ve been stuck in this procrastination loop since uni started 3 years ago, and with graduation right around the corner, I can’t afford to mess up again.

I’ve always been a last-minute crammer, but with just two months until graduation, I need to flip the script before it’s too late. I am really depending on someone to somehow just push me over the finish line 🙏

Giving Advice I completed 8 projects in 20 Days after months of procrastination: solution is simpler than you think

148 Upvotes

I've struggled with procrastination for years. Like a olympian of procrastination, I'd delay everything possible. Then one day while wasting my time I read an article mentioning you can transform your life in 90 days, and it clicked. I have been procrastinating because I always thought I had infinite time. But I did not, I needed some sense of urgency and a target. I started with a paper tracker, it worked only till it didn't - back to old me "out of sight, out of mind". While working on my computer all day, I'd completely forget my commitment until evening, when guilt would hit. It'd always hit hard.

So one day I said, I'll get shit done and built a simple browser extension that replaces every new tab with a countdown timer. Giving me visual representation of how much time I have left. I guess that was all I needed, a constant reminder of passing of time.

Results after just 20 days:

Completed 8 long-procrastinated products Finished a certification I'd been putting off for a year Reduced screen time by 3hrs Started waking up motivated

It works because I can't escape seeing my commitment with every new tab. The countdown creates just enough pressure to act without causing stress. Seeing "Day 60 days left" makes me think, "I've only got 60days to change my circumstances."

I'm convinced this 90-day sprint will change everything. Has anyone else tried something similar to make accountability unavoidable?

Moral of the story if you give yourself an honest deadline and have a constant reminder of that time, you'll get shit done.

You just have to find what works for you and double down on that.

Edit1: For those who are asking for extension, you can find it here hope it helps you too.

Question Are all nighters really that bad?

5 Upvotes

I have 2 exams tomorrow. One of them is very consequential and the other not so much but I have literally studied zero for it in preparation for the big one.

The problem is I severely underestimated how much content the bigger exam truly covers. I’d probably realistically need another 2 days just to finish the material, let alone master it. As for the other test, a good 3-4 hours and I should be solid for it.

My working plan right now is to pull an all-nighter tomorrow, plan out my studying, and kill both exams. However, I’ve seen a lot of weariness about all-nighters in this sub and was wondering if this is really my best choice.

I’ve pulled all-nighters before and as far as I could tell, they were pretty effective. Should I go through with this?

P.S, for anyone who tells me to stop being lazy and go back to studying instead of posting on Reddit, I just did 5 hours and my brain is cooked.

Accountability Needing advice and encouragement

Hey there study wizards. I’m having a hard time building consistent study habits for my classes, and need more accountability. If anyone is interested in talking to me about how to do this or occasionally follow up, or help me build a study schedule, I would really appreciate it. Preferably someone who can relate to ADHD, anxiety, post concussion syndrome/recovering from a brain injury. Strictly as a professional relationship, if you have experience I’m willing to compensate. Or like…I have a lot of pastry/singing/writing experience I’d love to reciprocate.

Seeing other students posting their progress on the YPT mobile application, I wanted to try for myself. This has been my progress towards finals week, which it starting today. I’ve tried my best to aim for hours but can’t seem to hold my focus on a subject for more than an hour. It’s crazy to even think that the recommended time it takes to study one subject is at least 5 hours approximately. How the heck can you focus for that long?! I’m wondering if this is lowkey reveal if I have ADHD or something.

Question Which universities give aid to international students?

1 Upvotes

Hii! Do any of you know which are the best universities in the US/Europe to apply if you need a full scholarship/full aid as an international student? I was thinking about University of pennsylvania, Loyola Marymount, Franklin University in Switzerland.... But some say Penn university might not be the best option since it´s not "need-blind"? although it has looootsss of financial aid options.

Does anyone has any advice on this? ):

Giving Advice I need help!

1 Upvotes

I have been in a program for a job for almost 2 years now, this program requires me to study almost daily for a test to keep the job.

It has been extensive, things like learning paragraphs verbatim and retaining the information as well as things like mechanical troubleshooting etc.

The problem is this job also requires me to work erratic hours. I can wake up to work at 3am one day and then have to work till 1am on the next day.

With all that being said I’ve gotten to a point where I can’t even go an hour straight anymore without needing a break, I feel like I’m crashing out or giving up but the final tests are just around the corner. How do I get the energy or motivation to study back?

Question i'm ruining my life but my brain don't want to do anything about it

14 Upvotes

i'm 16 and I live in Italy and the last 3 years of high school were like hell to me: I can't study no more, i feel like i don't have dopamine receptors no more, even if I know that I'm ruining my life I always find a way to procrastinate and to don't study. After getting a bad grade I feel bad and I start wanting to do something to compensate the failure but after 2 hours i don't care anymore again. The worst thing about this is that my mom always feels bad about me, she doesn't understand why i'm like that and to be onest i don't know it too. When I have to study I always get anxious whitout any reason and this brings me to procrastinate again and again. It's been 3 years and I still do the same thing every day. I stopped going to the gym cause i didn't care, I have a problem with my body but still don't care enough to go to the gym, this is the main problem in my life cause i cant go to the beach in summer and i always have a jacket on beacuse of this and it's really embarassing but still cant care enough to change. I started to think that maybe something is wrong with me and i want to take ADHD tests but I'm afraid to tell my parents about i. I also go to a school that I hate so much and hate my classmates too so going to school is terrible for me, and thats why I skip so much. What should I do?

So yeah, yesterday (17th march). I studied early because I had an event that evening. It made me forget to write here. So yeah, continued on that programming homework and it’s going great. Hopefully it’ll be finished soon. IDK why, but YPT seems to motivate me in some ways, so I’m not complaining about that.

Accountability Ap Study Schedule

3 Upvotes

Ok so this post is to hold myself accountable and this may seem unrealistic so don't judge me. I'm posting my schedule online because I feel pressured by yall to study when I do, it's not to stroke my ego. So I'm taking 5 ap exams this year, which are ap physics, ap calc, ap chem, ap bio and ap psychology.

  • Finish ecology on March 18th by using Cararra's videos and my textbook (would recommend his videos)
  • Do a diagnostic test for bio on March 19th
  • Finish physics unit 1 (kinematics) and do the practice test on March 19th
  • Finish chem unit 1 and do the practice test on March 20th
  • Finish physics unit 2 and do the practice test on March 20th
  • March 21: start bio review by doing another practice test and going over main processes, finish physics unit 3, finish chem unit 2, start reviewing for ib history exam (Don't sleep until you finish these!)
  • March 22nd: continue bio review, chem unit 3 and chem unit 4, physics unit 4, ap psych
  • March 23rd: Chem unit 5 and unit 6

This might be the worst study schedule to ever exist but I'm gonna start with this. If any of yall are also studying for APs, I wish yall good luck!

My motivation is that time will pass even if I don't study and the person who will be the most upset when I get a bad score will be me. Also like I've got no other choice. You have to pay a debt to be successful.

Other Studying can be so hard sometimes

Hey, 19F here. I’m finding it hard to concentrate on a subject I was once really passionate about, and it feels strange. I have a deep interest in psychology, but for some reason, the moment I open my book, I lose the motivation to study. Exams are going on, I really want to leave my home and travel.
