I’m struggling to find the motivation and focus. Do you guys have any tips?

    there’s a lot of factors for me:

    • diet, if i’m on a sugar rush or binge i can’t focus
    • activation energy and flow state, if i can just start and make progress i know i can slip into a more focused mode. if i’m constantly flicking between work and distractions i’ll stay distracted.
    • environment, i discovered i work much better in a cafe around others compared to just in my room. bonus points if there’s a friend who i can sit with.
    • having a plan, just studying for the sake of studying doesn’t work for me. knowing what i want to achieve and having mapped out what i need to do to get there helps me focus. it lets me know how far i’ve come - and feel good about that.

    hope that gives some inspiration!

      moving to different environments has always been so helpful to me. I actually figured this out by having detention in high school. Sometimes I would even go to detention even though it wasn’t required of me.
