When you already what is good for you then there is not point in asking about your life decisions on here.
Give me some advice demise.... motivate me.... shout on me... do something man
Go play ranked at 2 am am sure it will give you enough braindamage to not play valorant as much and you will easily get motivated to study.
just lost a game 14-16 , took a walk , while walking i was thinking " OKAY OKAY OKAY played enough now study , and then when i entered my room , my mind changed again and started asking for VALO
I mean what hypes me up are those study motivation videos
I usually watch them whenever I don't feel like studying when I have to

U can listen some music. Also u can uninstall the Val and use some site blockers to focus up easier
i want to block some sites to which i m addicted but i dont know for what reason whenever i try doing so... my router couldnt save it
read books , it helps a lot
Ikigai and Atomic habits are good book for starters
Ikigai will help you understand what you need to do and why valorant or any thing < study (or whatever matters to you
Atomic habits will help you building habits and reduce your time on valorant , reading books is like living the checkpoints of someone else's life
bruh what am I telling you , my life itself suck , I need to work really hard and study for hours everyday , and yesterday I was baiting here for hous , Just learn from me and dont waste time here , do come sometime for fun but focus on things which matter
and change yourself in a positive way
Always remember - "you dont get what you want in life , you get what you are"
50 min of study and then reward urself with a deathmatch, which adds up to an hour. and repeat this cycle
ehh then nvm but what im suggesting is actually an actual study technique called the pomodoro technique. its basically 25 min study 5 min break, so that you mind becomes refreshed and u dont tire out and lose focus. but since a deathmatch is around 10 minutes, i just doubled the 25 min
By this time i would have started studying but i m wasting my time... either on VLR / VALO / Discord / Twitter... what am i doing with my life ????????
Option 1: Study for the whole day and play 1 or 2 games at max after that. Balanced approach. (Don't play in small breaks you take, as someone mentioned above. It will make you take more and unnecessary breaks)
Option 2: Find an alternative to get rid of this addiction. This will help you save some time. Don't stick to one alternative, try to find more things to engage with in the breaks you take!
Forgot to add one thing - stop using this site in the first place, more you see people talking about valo the more you will get tempted.
I disagree with your first option. Look up the pomodoro technique, the small breaks in between your study helps renew your energy, stay focused, and retain more information. it's proven to be an effective time management technique. You're first option minimizes breaks thus overworking yourself resulting in loss of focus and lower quality work. It's significantly ineffective.
Well you are right, I forgot to add breaks in option 1 but yeah ....playing valo in those breaks won't help. Option 2 for those breaks in btw studying and then after finishing up, play valo :)
then lose the rank game, get tilted, frustrated, not wanting to study but to play one more, having faith that you will win, the cycle repeats, you end up crying yourself to sleep. Wake up late, you are late to the test, you barely can answer, you fall asleep, wake up, take the bus and someone robs your cellphone, you start crying again, your life is miserable, all because of ranked.
realistically. if you will play ranked all day you will most likely end up in a net loss rr. And then since you played all day and havent studied, you fail your exam as well. So, logically do you think thats a good choice?
Make yourself a study plan, like study 8 hours a day then play until you want to sleep, if you think you studied enough in a day you won't regret that you played later.
Study until you say you worked hard then play ranked ez
if ur thinking that, you wont be able to study
play ranked till u realise you're absolutely fkd and then start studying
take it from a guy who dropped from one game to immort all the way to plat 1... its not worth it, just go study
