kw0573 Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Yeah I feel you. It will take time to get your motivation back. Start by making short, tangible and feasible goals (I need to find 3 sources I can use for my English paper in the next hour, see SMART goals) rather than deadlines (I need to finish this paper in the next 6 hours). You have to start small. You have to try to productive whenever possible. You can do it! 💪💪 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wandre Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) This may be a bigger problem than just procrastination. Maybe you would need real psychological help. Edited February 3, 2019 by wandre Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBstudent8888 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 I have the same thing but the way I got through my slump was a combination of two things. I got together with someone that was really motivated and quite strict with her studying regime and we studied together. We didn't talk we just sat and worked through our homework and made notes. The second thing was results. For example, I made really neat notes for 2 weeks of chem that I just didn't bother doing before and afterwards I rewarded myself with chocolate(simple but it works). Make yourself do something thinking about the consequences(an hour of boredom so I won't get in trouble for missing a deadline etc.) and reward yourself afterwards. It worked for me hope it does for you too! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
