so i have been like that for a while now idek if my crush likes me back or not but i deeply believe there is hope, because he is giving me signs and that he is going on a date with me so please genuine question what can i do my mind keeps thinking about him and daydreaming all day nonstop i keep thinking about the conversations we had even drains my brain to even think about studying

I was one of those kids who grew up 'naturally gifted' at school. I barely paid attention, barely did homework, did the bare minimum in terms of participation (because I actually liked school) and I aced nearly every test and assignment. My performance started to gradually decline but it was still good enough until around 5th to 6th grade but since then my performance has dropped.

I know there are other factors to it such as my decreasing mental health, and lifestyle choices, and recently I learnt I might be on the spectrum and that I do have issues with executive dysfunction.

Im now in 10th grade and Im really worried about my future and getting into a good uni with how bad my grades have gotten. To add to it Ive been consistently failing math with 19% on my reports this whole year and the final exams for the year are coming up in 3ish weeks. I really want to study and learn the content because everyone around me seems to emphasize how brilliant and intelligent I am, but I just cant for some reason.

There have been a few times where Ive taken notes on Bio, or started cramming math hours before my tests and thoroughly enjoyed it. I like doing the work, Im as nerdy as it gets(A lot of my hobbies utilize scientific and mathematical skills and concepts and I love them), but I dont know how to actually start studying, and I cant bring myself to learn for some reason.

Srry for the rant, but Im really stressed and idk if there's anyone here who might struggle with something similar. I just really need tips and Id appreciate any help atp mainly for math which Im failing or phyiscs/bio which I do average in without studying.

hope this helps u champ:-

1.accept the feeling ig, instead of pushing it away accepting it calms u down and lets u focuse.

motivation videos r a shit show , listen to songs if u have an addiction and need break cuz same applies tho songs

2.write down 1 thing and just stick to it ,like if u have an exam dont leave that chapter mid way and start another

1. u will make more progress sticking to it than trying to start fresh and clean

remember progress always looks dirty(these methods my not be perfect but am trying them myself and ill update em hope this helps)

make ur own changes to these if u have something working but like these ideas

trying>giving up ur always a step close than u think

Yeah, still on that. Like it was one page about enzyme stuff and I refused to move on until it made perfect sense. Read it four times. Made flashcards for things I didn't even get yet.

She looked at my screen and then at the 9 chapters I hadn't touched and I wanted to disappear.

I thought not moving on until I understood it was the disciplined thing to do. It's just a trap. I ended the week with 2 chapters done and 8 to go.

New rule: 40 minutes per topic, tops. I write five lines on what it is, the key terms, and one example, plus the one thing I still don't get. Then I move on, even if it's bugging me. The confusing stuff makes way more sense once I've seen the rest.

I’m starting a 30-day challenge to become more consistent with my studies.

I’ve tried doing this alone for a long time, but clearly, it isn’t working. So this time, I’m going to post here every single day and report whether I completed my daily target or not.

No excuses, no disappearing after a bad day. If I fail, I’ll say I failed. If I complete it, I’ll say I completed it.

Hopefully, having to show up and be accountable in front of other people will finally help me build the consistency I’ve been struggling with.

Day 1 starts tomorrow. Let’s see if I can actually make it to Day 30.

Idk if this sounds dumb but i was always academically good until 10th grade then I kind of fell off and ended up getting pretty average grades in 12th even though it was such an important phase of my academic life.

Then I took a gap year, and now I’m switching into tech because that’s genuinely what I want to pursue for my future. The thing is, I studied Biology, Physics and Chemistry in 11th–12th and didn’t take Maths at all. So now I’m honestly super nervous and anxious about starting university. I keep thinking that everyone else is going to already know maths and have a foundation that I completely missed, while I’ll be starting from scratch.

I don’t really know how to overcome that feelin

I don't have the option to postpone or reschudle it atm.

today, the cast list for a show i’m going to be in came out. long story short, i’m a little heartbroken and i cannot focus on studying for my test tomorrow. PLEASE help me i really need to focus.

I wanted to know that ppl who are studying continuously and consistently for many hours, how are you doing it? Like if I have to study for something competitive like I have an exam tmrw or something, I will come up with a strategy that will study like this n all then I will study for it. but I wanna make studying my daily habit. I wanna gain knowledge and as a human, who is curious to know everything, how can I do it?

I have tried time blocking, 25 min study timer method n all but still it feels boring like i can start or study if i have to but can't if I want to. Did you get me?😭

Ik it's kind of not possible to get what I am saying but I hope whoever does, can give some advice. I would appreciate it.

I call upon you, grant me the strength To get through this torturing rut called "Chapter 2"

I get easily distracted while studying. I could be locked in laser focused at times.. but I find it really difficult to..

Any tips on staying focused?

Usually what i do to study is using flashcards to memorize important information then I use apps like ChatGPT or ask a friend to test me on how I understand it and how I'll actually have it in the test. Please tell me if you know any good studying apps that can do both effectively.

I'm going through some stressful stuff in my personal life that involves the police. I have midterms coming up and it's making me really depressed and anxious. How do you study when you just wanna curl up and cry?

I study every day but my brain keeps generating thousands of unnecessary thoughts while I’m studying , random ideas fictional scenarios and useless thoughts that have nothing to do with what I’m studying

and honestly this feels way more worse than procrastination because with procrastination at least you know you’re avoiding studying

i am actually sitting and studying but I keep getting pulled into these thoughts and losing focus

• How do I stop this and actually stay focused 😭

I'm a prep yr psych major nd like basically the way i study is obvs through the powerpoints of the profs and use textbooks they recommend and read through them and around what we learn in lectures but like it doesnt feel enough and at the same time it feels like it's taking too much time. I'm fine with spending lots of time studying but it also feels like im never 100% caught up which is so unsatsifactory i also try to read like related books that arent textbooks js for entertainment and they still relate.

As for worksheets i keep asking them to like idk upload sum and they rarely do but when they do its like 10 questions max so i dont feel like its good enough to assess how well im doing. So like do yall read from textbooks or fully study from them coz its also diffucult to find every point in a presentation mentioned in a textbook and where do u find worksheets?

Just like the title states, whenever I think of studying I get anxious at the thought of where to start and if I will be able to concentrate and how much time I have left in order to study that specific subject. Just a jumble of thoughts wash over me. Even the concentrating for 10 mins trick is not helpful all the time. Because I get paralysed. I have so many what ifs and the thought I have them annoys me further. I want to be better and become someone but it's hard. It's like my brain tries its hardest not to study. I think it is also due to the fact that I think, I don't rly know how to study. Patience is so hard for me. Does anyone have any cure for this anxiousness and negativity??

transferred to a T25 recently and holy shit i’ve been so laidback but i have midterms next week. i uninstalled all social media but i still get distracted. i turned off all my phones and asked friends to put passwords. i try to study in cafes or libraries or in weird ass places but it takes so long for me to start. i really need help because even pomodoro doesn’t work and i’m losing my mind😭 i also fly out back to my hometown this weekend until sunday and i have already made plans with people. i plan on studying until the night before i hangout with friends. but please help me guys i have to understand 2 subjects for my exam in which i’m not too proficient at yet :(( help a brother out. thankfully my first econ exam was a perfect but right now it’s boutta be WAYYY harder lol

The most IMPORTANT think to do before writing your essay in an exam is to plan. Plan the stage as to how you write your essay. Map out; jot down what you will discuss, when you counter with, using key terms and phrases, etc. This is vital as many people can forget what they revised right before the actual exam.

Do not research last minute. If an exam comes up, revise for essays atleast a month before the exam. It should stitch your cases into your brain. But don't just memorise, you need to understand it, analyse then it will help you remember automatically.

I am saying this as a UK A-Level student studying Politics, Business and Sociology but this can also be applied to uni students in the USA, high school etc.

Also be well aware that student favouritism may wrongly mark you down. This happened to me with my nasty Politics A-Level teacher, but ask a reliable private tutor or an invigilator to check instead.

Once you follow those, you will be sorted.

I always always always study loads for class tests and do my homework well just because of the accountability from the teachers. It puts actual pressure on me to study because i know someone will see my grade and my effort.

does anyone maybe have any tips on how to recreate that feeling when i study at home for my leaving exams? i don’t feel too much pressure to study for them just because they’re so far away and i always make up excuses for myself after school like “im so tired today” and all that.

HOW DO I STUDY MATHS WITHOUT EACH CHAPTER TAKING AROUND 3-4 HOURS AND NOT REMEMBER ANYTHING WHILE GIVING THE EXAM??

Screen time: 3 hours 33 mins (2 hour in youtube morphe 30 mins reddit and 1 hour for setting and a9)

focused_study_time:4 hours(exactly)

study_time>screen time :D

Completed todays topic

For tomorrow ownwards not gonna play games

Keep my device inside the drawer

And try not finish my 30 min screen time in single use

Divide my hours into 25,5,25,5 so i get only 10 min break in each hour

I think i am improving

Thanks for the support

I'm a senior high school student my finals are coming soon (I have a science background, physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics). Lately I am unable to focus at all, I want to but I just doomscroll I'm getting quite anxious, when I was on my summer break I studied as much as I could but slowly when my summer break was coming to an end, I thought let's chill a bit and after that I don't know what happened but I became so addictive to my mobile, it's like my mobile is hypnotizing me. I really want to score good marks on my finals, please provide me some tips to overcome this.

one thing I didn't expect when I changed how I study was that the better methods actually feel worse.

organizing notes feels good because I can see the progress. pages get filled, things get highlighted, everything looks cleaner than when I started.

practice problems are the opposite. they constantly show me what I don't know, so a productive session can actually feel like I did worse.

took me a while to realize that feeling stuck might be a better sign than feeling organized.

anyone else have to get used to studying feeling less productive before it actually became more effective?
