[@eliftasdemir5374]

I’ m a teacher and ı think people tend to procrastinate the things they wanna make or learn because of they think if they dont spend their max effort and time there will be nothing meaningful. For exp if a student wanna learn a lesson thinks like I need to study this subject/lesson for hours, but studying for hours is boring or I dont need enough time for it today, lets try it the other day. And the other day will be just the same. U need to understand that if u dont do anything about something u ll get nothing. If u do whatever u wanna do for maybe a minute, maybe 10, maybe 1 hour doesnt matter it will progress. So u wanna learn chem u can start with 10 min. study every day or every weekend as u wish, finally after a few months u definitely have knowledge about chem. We always think like if i make many hours effort suddenly we will be perfect on it. But reality is if u spent efforts, even tiny efforts like baby steps u will learn how to walk

[@Okyesmabyeno]

Modivation and procrastination still to this day are things I struggle with but not because I don’t want to put the max effort in school for me the problem was ADHD where I could learn Morse code in a week (which I have done ( this is called hyper focus for those with ADHD) yet not be able to do one homework assignment without having a breakdown so most of these tips teachers gave me to “just try” and not be so called “lazy” never rlly worked, keep in mind I still took medication for this yet it wouldn’t helped fully and that’s not ever possible for it too, and I don’t think many ppl keep in mind how many ppl have disorders like this that can also cause these problems :)

A trick I use to stop procrastinating is to tell myself that I would do that thing for as little time possible, like studying or exercising for 30 seconds. As soon as I started I would realize that it wasn't so painful and keep doing it

[@SteveSurgenor]

I watched a video recently where a guy advised that you set a timer for 5 minutes to practice guitar, so you didn't make the excuse of having no time to practice, 5 minutes quickly turns into 10 then 20 etc. Works for me.

[@veganjotaro]

Thank you, that is a great strategy.

[@WoodenClockwerk]

Yet another strategy I use is (after getting started doing your objectives) is breaking down the time I work an hour into 45 minutes of work and a 15 minute break, but I set a 15 minute timer for all of it. This let's me know how much work I an achieve and how much time could be wasting, allowing me to optimize my time spent and also challenge myself to work more efficient or faster. This depends on the hobby though of course.

"Your brain remembers things by importance-" I guess that's why I remember things like what some stranger's hat looked like at Disney World 15 years ago but I don't remember where I put my car keys.. wait a min

[@kavya-sb3fz]

haha lol

[@btob2212]

You forget that " it's probably because you didnt really have a need for it ". Like for right now. Example eating with family then we forgot keys, because family is important, than keys. ? Debate

[@emalinu]

you probably were really exited at disney world 15 years ago thats why your brain thinks its important. but your car keys are nothing important to the brain because you use the car alot and leave the car keys somewhere (probably) all the time.

watched 3 min of this a month ago and came back now. this video honestly has all the knowledge i’ve been needing shi is inwanw

[@insertyourfeelingshere8106]

*I watched the video so you have no excuse to procrastinate* 1. Don’t wait for motivation, just do it 2. Do big tasks by small pieces 3. Sleep, socialising & exercise 4. Cut out background noise and do it yourself 5. Understand the basics before the branching into more abstract details 6. Practice independently and repeat on what you’ve forgotten. 7. Don’t just learn new information, take a time to process it

[@user-nt4sl5hp5m]

Notes for anybody who needs to review: 1. Stop procrastinating, just start doing it. Do it now. The biggest hurdle is putting it off. When you start doing it, there'll be a point when you'll get frustrated because there's no instant reward/gratification, so you'll get distracted and put it off again. To solve this, just start doing it again. Long term satisfaction is worth more than the short term. Take initiative. 2. It takes time to remember things. You can't soak it up everything right away. Learning is about repetition. Don't try to learn everything about a subject all at once. You can focus on certain areas you're really curious about first. For example, you don't have to follow an instructional book in chronological order you can focus on the pages you need now, and then when you come back to the same pages it'll be a refresher. Additionally, sleep lots and exercise. Interact socially with other people. Give yourself a break and let your brain rest. It'll prevent yourself from burning out, improve your mood and strengthen your motivation to continue learning. 3. You have to try it out and apply what you're learning by yourself. Practice what you've learned. Your brain has 2 modes of thinking. The focused mode (logical/left-brain) and the diffused mode (creative/right-brain). You can shift between these 2 modes. When you're learning something new, eliminate all distractions so you have total concentration. This'll increase the efficiency of your memory. When you're just reviewing something, you can listen to music or videos in the background. You can let your mind wander because you're just reinforcing what you've already learned. 4. It will get more difficult as you continue learning something. But it's alright, that feeling is normal. Try to understand the main ideas and not get stuck in the details. Your brain will eventually connect with the more complicated things. 5. Study, review and test yourself on what you've learned. However, don't just study one area. Go back and forth between different things so you give yourself space to repeat and process these things you're learning. 6. It takes time. It's a process. It can be stressful. Learning something new is daunting and that's why most people don't do it and procrastinate. But understand that you don't have to know everything right away. Start off with small steps. Do it gradually and over time you'll be surprised at how much you've learned.

[@alexwilder8315]

Heh i had a friend in school who used to get us all together in the 15 mins before a maths test and teach us a song about the formulas. She's a school teacher now. Maybe the reason you don't remember your maths is because you didn't learn them to the tune of the fresh prince of bel air! 😄 But likely it's because you need to create more of a need for those particular mathematical concepts in your life.

[@hicham5770]
