She has definitely set the trend of doing that in the blogging community adopted it without realising

I'm sorry to hear that you do It can be such a pain

Sleep, food, bath, chat with friends, going out, play with dog/cat just something fun and realistic.

There's a few good suggestions or exercises here about the choking.

Would need to think about it and read up. Its not in my current area, but have looked into panic attacks before and ofc anxiety.

I know, it really is. And it’s super painful and feels isolating. But you’re not alone in this

Also woke up today at 2 pm, as opposed to my regular 4 pm (I see this as a success lmao). Goal for tomorrow is wake up at 12 pm.

I woke up today feeling quite anxious. I am still stuck trying to get myself into a routine and increasing productivity. I realised that the issue may be that I can be far too lenient with myself and that I have messed up my ability to self-regulate and control my own behaviour. I mean besides the anxiety I have mentioned, which is something I am going to have to live with it, so I am solely focusing on my performance and management errors here.

In the previous blog, I attempted to fix this issue through embarking on a dopamine detox for 24 hours. I did not really feel like I benefited greatly from going on that, but I do think that the video brings up a good point about adjusting behaviours to achieve dopamine from completing tasks as opposed to unfruitful procrastination ventures. In essence, through minimising the amount of dopamine I get for doing nothing and through menial wasteful activities.

So, and I know this sounds odd, going to try to stop listening to music (only will as a reward) and maybe delete social media apps from my phone. Block some sites (looking at Youtube lol). In the summer, I was ultra-focused, or at least in comparison to now, because I stopped using social media apps, and unintentionally stopped listening to music. Not that listening to music is bad, but when there is that emptiness and quiet, I feel like I am more likely to not escape from my responsibilities.

Anyway, I will try it out today, and see whether or not there is a slight difference in my behaviour and productivity.

well done synergy


Good luck with everything!!

It’s one of those days isn’t it? When you have absolutely no energy to do anything? Better off removing all distractions if you are going to keep focussed. Try working in intervals where you do nothing but work fora few mins than take a break.

Thanks :"")

You too

Days? more like weeks :"3
Yess I think I am going to try to attempt that again. Maybe call a friend to see if someone wants to do it with me so I feel more motivated lol
Thank you (:

That’s anxiety for you. Have one good day and suddenly, expect weeks of unproductivity
It’s harsh but sometimes you have to do things the hard way to get results. Having a friend there is a good idea, you wouldn’t want to do it alone.
No problem. Second year have been tough for you so far but you’re doing well so far. Keep going and you’ll feel better in the long term

Wow, can I just say your self-discipline is amazing.

I hope everything works out.

I hope my article has helped you with fighting against procrastination. Good luck with catching up on lectures

I will not have a tree interrogate me just a few minutes before midnight on a Tuesday. Please and thank you.
