any advice?

i have just been rotting on my phone for the past few days, rhythm completely fucked up. i have a looot of work to do for uni and i have done 0 work. i'm deep in the slump, maybe the worst one i've had. its not that i dont know what i have to do. i want to have done my tasks, but i dont actually want to do them. i feel like i'm just not in control of myself, and as soon as i touch any distraction, i forget all the things i have to do. then, at the end of the day, i just feel even worse and i regret how little i did.

any advice/encouragements/people in similar situations?

wellness advice on vlr...

what r u studying

The first and hardest step is to just get up, the rest follows after. You don’t have to know what you’re doing, you don’t have to like what you’re doing, you don’t have to feel good or feel motivated or anything like that; so long as you keep moving, you’ll get it back

Life is motion. Keep moving, no matter what

idk i just gave up a long time ago

Go someplace to try and work instead of your dorm / apartment. Find a public place on campus and just start doing something

A lot of times it’s easy for me to avoid doing things when I’m on my own or in my own space. If I go somewhere public I feel more of an internal obligation to actually work

maybe give ur parents a call, talk with them, ask them about their day,etc. it will make ur day better and u might feel more motivated to do work

Grab some sun outside during the day and walk around for a bit.

I was in a similar place not too long ago. It's a rough place to be, especially when you're aware of it but don't know how to get out

It's late where you are... you need to sleep. Here's what I would do if I were in your shoes:

Look at what you need to do. Know what tasks you need to complete... acknowledge what you need to do. Then go to bed... you need rest, and you're not going to be able to work well without it. Wake up in the morning, get out of bed early... even if you don't feel well rested, trust me when I say you won't feel any more rested if you stay in bed longer. Go out, take a walk... you live in a beautiful country, and you need to be outside. You have to reset yourself mentally and this is the way that's worked best for me. Come back home, eat something, and then you're ready to do some work :)

Trust me when I say you still have time to get through whatever you need to get through. No one thing is going to work for everyone but I want you do things that you know will help yourself reset mentally and get back where you need to be 👍

if boaster can keep going even after getting 2nd on champs, losing leo, losing derke, losing chronicle, losing veqaj, getting hated by everyone on twitter because "uh uh he cant frag!"

then you can do anything you can put your mind up to king.

ok no but seriously i did feel the same a couple months ago and for me the fix was just being perma aware of it and forcing myself to do stuff even if i didnt enjoy it, which led to me not really minding doing those things and then it became a habit but thats just me
like i used to be on my phone all day and i forced myself to not use my phone, no stakes or anything i just became aware of it and did it
also started actually having a sleep routine which i didnt before which helped lots since i used to be on 4 hrs of sleep constantly, and I just had "do the tasks you have to do" on my mind constantly bugging me which forced me to actually do them

Hello, hope you doing well. Back when i was in college i feel the same thing while doing my final project. Thank fully i was surrounded by kind people, all of em try to help me. For example, my final project is a promotion video about local zoo, my friends help me cast, find drone guy, become cameraman, etc.

I have some advice for you, if you have a task, do it doesnt matter if its 1% progress, just do it

I'm sorry im not very good at English, maybe you cant catch what i mean, so i have some video for u to watch. Good luck my friend, don't you dare go hollow

Wake up early, goon (yes), take a shower, and work. Also work in an environment with a lot of sunlight, also highkey take a walk. Tbh a lot of motivation is just momentum. Once you've gotten one thing done, you will be more willing to do the next. I had a lot of like personal dread doing stuff and forcing yourself to do it and realizing it wasn't all that bad is pretty helpful imo.

thank you to everyone that i havent replied to too, i appreciate your advice and words of encouragement!! goodnight

The hardest part is usually just starting
for me what I did was I went to my uni's library to do assignments instead of at my room
