@phainhotoi2877 2 жыл бұрын

I think that might be depression and /or anxiety, when you're having an episode, you feel so overloaded with exhaustion, heaviness and the excruciating pain that the emotions are bombarding you, so much to the point of complete inability to do anything. I have extreme procastination because of this, often times it would feel so unbearable that i would just end up browsing my phone or sleeping just to be distracted from the horrible feelings, even when i get myself to study, that brain fog and dullness makes it kinda impossible for me to execute my study quickly and efficiently. I think we'll just have to force ourselves to study or work at one time, so that when we get the stuff done, we would feel prouder, motivated and have a sense of control, so we can keep continuing the next times one by one, opposite to avoiding and creating bigger problems as the feeling of guilt and regret of not doing anything just build up, it's like the domino effect.

Him: “Go for a walk and clear you head” Me (who loves the outdoors): Heads out front door, notices weeds need to be pulled in front flower beds, pulls weeds. Then sees the flower bed could use some more plants and needs more mulch. Goes to gardening center, buys more plants and mulch, plants the new plants and spreads mulch. Then walks over to garden to check on it, and spends the next five hours tending to it. Then goes for walk, and comes back barely before dark. Feels accomplished about what I got done outside, and decides to study tomorrow. 😅 Once I go outside it’s hard for me to come back in! I definitely do find spending time outside very helpful to my mental health!

It made me feel a lot better to know that I’m not the only person who struggles with these things, and somebody who is as successful as you are struggled with them too. I’m glad you decided to do this type of thing with your time. your video about bouncing back from failure helped me more than you’ll ever know.

I have recently started my final year of university during the covid pandemic and I had just lost motivation. I wanted to let go of everything and just stop caring. I started skipping classes and getting behind on assignments which is really unusual for me. I started eating crappy food and just not keeping a good sleep schedule. This video is the only video that has helped me break down what seems like an insurmountable task of recovering my semester. The whole premise of doing it little by little and not seeing it as this big scary task honestly does work! I'm now in the library busting out assignmenta and actually enjoying doing so. You have saved my degree and for that I thank you 💯❤️

Pretty sure this applies to anytime you’re not feeling motivated to do any task. I’d consider myself a very hard worker, but have moments of procrastination or laziness. What I’ve found that works for me is literally to create a smaller list of “checkpoints” I need to accomplish to finish my task. Then I just start on the first one on the list to build that momentum. Great video!

Of course there are also things in school that I am interested in... so why can't I just learn more about these things?

Thank you! This helped me manage to do a little bit of work. It's small but it's that much less I have left to do and I feel better about everything. The steps that helped were 2. Decide on a topic - helped get me in the mindset to study and think of a task that was doable, and 4. Low key effort - helped me feel like I could manage doing some work even when I felt tired and like I couldn't concentrate

@kittys4460 3 жыл бұрын

Summary: _Do not skip any of these steps even when your brain convinces you that "it is not necessary"_ *Take a walk.* 1:25 *Focus on a single task.* 2:50 *Keep your surroundings in a way that could help you effectively complete that one task.* a) write down the task on a piece of paper 3:25 b) have an organized workplace 3:53 *Low effort hack* 4:40 Remember : "blank page is the enemy" Start the task now and come back to it later to add the details. Because your state of mind when you start work is different from your state of mind once you are in the flow. [Start off slow; you will pick up speed once you get into _that_ mindset]

Commitment to one task Recommendations: Sketch book and chrome extension: Momentum 3. Clear to neutral Recommendations: Clearing up the clutter( A place for everything and everything in it's place) 4. Low effort app Recommendations: Do what's easy first

But I feel like there should be more of an emphasis on self care, since doing this without allowing yourself the time to love yourself and the things you do, will result in depression. I used to work very hard everyday and push myself very hard everyday, because I cannot motivate myself to do things due to my depression. I feel like this is a problem that is not discussed enough especially among those who DO work hard towards leading fulfilling lives. (sorry for any language mistakes)

Something that turned my life around: Getting enough vitamin D. If you live in a country above the 40th parallel and or you don't spend much time in the sun and you rarely eat fish and eggs, you might have a vitamin D deficiency and that would make you feel chronically tired and low in motivation. Get your blood vitamin levels checked and make sure to take about 5000 IU in liquid D3 supplements daily if you are low. A walk in the sun is not nearly enough if you live in the North.
