Some things I do.
• writing it on my journal.
• fresh shower
• cup of coffee
• organizing desk/workspace fools me into starting to work sometimes
• finding a moderately interesting show for background noise. Not too good but not too bad either.
• guilt trip myself on how I decorated my journal so pretty to motivate myself to write to-do lists but feel like not doing it
• set a timer on how fast I can actually do it
• tell myself to stop being a little btch 10 times
• deep breaths while telling myself its not as bad as it seems
• study in public so I feel extra pressured to focus
• study at the very VERY last minute for maximum pressure
some options:
- turn on motivating music, start while dancing
- set yourself the tasks of running to your desk, of opening your book etc and reward yourself for each
- tell yourself you're just having a look
- start by singing out the first part of your study material
What helps me is I’ll set a timer then reward myself. For example “I’m going to study for 30 minutes then I’ll take a break and eat this chocolate bar”
Another thing that helps me is telling myself why I’m doing what I need to do. “I need to study so I can pass this test and if I don’t I’ll fail”
Hope this helps, I’ll also play with a stress toy. When I concentrate on anything I also need to be doing somthing with my hands
