It’s been about 6 months since I identified this problem I’ve had for 2 years. I’m 19 and I’m crippled by own lack of motivation. I graduated school last year and was studying for an enterence exam to get into medical school but the thing is I was never actually studying. Due to Covid the date of the exam kept getting pushed and each time it did I thought ok I don’t need to start today I can start studying tomorrow. I don’t need to start this week I can start next week. Eventually the weeks became months and two days before the exam I hadn’t done squat. It wasn’t just this exam either throughout my high school years I could never score ell on any of the mid terms or finals thinking I’d always start studying for the next one and that this would just be one stumble. Procrastination became ingrained in me and I failed my exam. I’m studying to give it again this year and I have about 4 months left but I’m falling into the same habit. I always start out but 3-4 hours in I get this overwhelming urge to quit and start again in a few days. I’ve remade m study schedule more times than I could bother to count and none of them lasted more than a day. I realize that it’s my mind and I make conscious decisions to land me in situations but it just feels beyond me. I know I can study hard and I know I can get the work done but I can’t seem to ch a break. It’s like I can’t even get started. I don’t truly believe anyone can help me because this is something I need to overcome myself but I’m posting this with the hopes that maybe someone else who’s gone through this has some advice or maybe I’m hoping someone will tell me I’m just making excuses and it’ll help me snap out of this rut. But I need to do something and this is me being desperate
