I practice so-called "writing marathons" from time to time to keep track of words I write per hour. So, I noticed that sometimes I can easily write 1000 words and more, while there are times when I cannot concentrate at all, and it seems I have to squeeze my brain as a lemon to get at least a drop of "intellectual juice", to produce marginally 300 words. Indeed, distractions are everywhere. The time you feel focused and inspired you may start receiving messages or phone calls from friends or you may suddenly notice that the very special book covered in dust is winking at you, alluding: Read me, read me, I want to be read! Yeah, this is the fever of imagination nurtured by the absence of motivation to do what you Have to do. I must confess, I am the most productive when the deadline is almost dead
Despite the versatile interests that always encourage me to gain new knowledge, I feel like I am procrastinating all the time, becoming productive at the last minute, even the constantly beeping timer does not help...
Alas, we cannot just live for the sake of mere self-expression, as we have to study, work, take care of our duties... and if we could, I doubt that even highly resourceful minds were involved in creative activities all the time.
Well, what can I say,
it is impossible to study without procrastinating, as it is also a part of the intellectual process, and slight procrastination can turn into meaningful reflections, brain reload, so it may be not harmful at all. But you should love what to do: that is the main secret. If you have to study something not very encouraging but your grade depends on it, so pretend that you are doing something essential. Basically, you are tricking your brain, convincing it that yet another boring assignment is, in fact, an incredibly compelling one. Even if you have to play a role for it, hiding your real emotions towards it, you will be happy in the end after you obtain a good grade. If it results in success, so it is worth the struggle.
P.S. I hope that the discipline you have chosen is not something you actually hate. Such cases are quite hopeless. I knew students quit prestigious universities just because they did not like how things were there.
Better love your future profession, and study as if it is your great mission for today!
