[22M] Pingpong1 diary - PERSEVERANCE

Bro , Honestly I cannot give you good advice regarding academics because I am in a low phase associated with it.

Regarding procrastination, I believe there’s an improvement in me compared to last few months. Still distractions persist though , but improvement is visible.

What I did is I started to clearly define what I have to do today before I start my studies. I generally write all those in my diary.

Then I would set in my mind what I will be doing first by prioritizing.

But there would be days things sucks , in those days I just make sure I don’t curse myself. I may write negative situations in my diary like I procastinated for 5 hours but I will always try not to call myself a lazy asshole etc. because I believe these titles with get imprinted in our mind and it may use against you.

So in short

  1. Clearly define what you have to do before doing it

  2. Don’t beat yourself up after failure.

Honestly I need a lot to improve these days, but honestly these steps have helped me beat procrastination to some extent

No need bro. Actually it made sense. Your second point is valid. I heard it many times forgets everytime. We don’t have to curse ourselves for procastination .

Even I struggle with the same…just lying around…when I have tonnes of work to be done…

One tip I got from a friend who’s doing MTech is, you got to have exams to be consistent…
Most of us study due to exams…if there’s no exam nearby…why study?!

So, keep giving tests frequently, so though you won’t study for studying; you got to study for the test…

In that way…keep giving small tests frequently and try studying for that…

I follow the same, but I do this before sleeping rather than before starting studies next day.

That’s a good advice, what you can do @pingpong1is to keep a fixed time when you’ll give test for a particular subject, that way you will be motivated to finish the subject before that time, you know your schedule so you can easily do this I think.

Samaranjay - follow the same, but I do this before sleeping rather than before starting studies next day.

I would also like to do that but I am concerned I may relapse if I am too late.

These days I want to sleep as early as possible otherwise relapse can happen

I am damn sure , he did this to me :joy::joy::joy: ( Jk ) , The moment I started trolling him on the basis of no. of diaries I have, at that moment, I lost my quote option.

( Fyi there was a rule made by ash that a person can have only 1 diary. Samaranjay tagged me having 8 diaries. And I started to troll Ash. He then showed me the power of a moderator :triumph: )
