Question

I have a problem. I can't study for two minutes, and I don't have any motivation. What should I do?

Answer 1

Can I tag you in something I posted? I think it may help

Answer 2

Please.

Answer 3

Well, i usually study with instrumental music on. Mainly from two steps from hell, it makes me feel accomplished and awesome whenever i solve math problems with that running in the background. Hope it helps !

Answer 4

My problem is mainly motivation, though.

Answer 5

Oh, I'm sorry to say, but that is something no one can change but you. I know it may sound cruel, but when you find something that excites you, or enthuses you to want to study, then you'll find it easier. Knowing why you're studying what you are will help.

Answer 6

So true! Theres a saying "You can take a horse to the pond, but you can't make it drink the water if it isn't thirsty"

Answer 7

I know what I like. It's just that whenever I think about studying, I face myself with "what's the end result?" to which the answer is "everyone dies, eventually.".

Answer 8

Ohh, I had that similar issue back then, i suddenly think about the future that ill just die and thinks whats the point of all these. Let me tell you, i started not giving a damn about it when I realized how amazing life is.

Answer 9

It's not that you don't know what you like, but you may not know why, subconsciously, why you are taking the class.

Answer 10

Once you do find the motivation, or you know what you're doing it for, I have some study tips for you :/ If you'd like to talk about it, you can message me :) I'd be very happy to help in any way I can.

Answer 11

That gets you free and the exact visualization of that future fact should be a true motivation to attempt to know the mysteries of our universe before your life ends. Since everyone has to go through the same door, isn't it wise to go there more prepared ?

Answer 12

Actually, my problem is called The Myth of Sisyphus. But the more important question is that: Why should there be something rather than nothing? Or is this life that we think is something actually is nothing?

Answer 13

You can't work on a project if the ultimate goal is for it to be thrown in the trash. @JianEnriquez

Answer 14

I disagree with that statement.

Answer 15

In Kindergarten, did you ever make a card for your mom or your dad?

Answer 16

Probably.

Answer 17

No, not probably, you did. It was almost considered an assignment given, but anywho, the feeling that you got is incomparable to any other. It's pride, motivation to do better, and, sorry to say, it probably got thrown away, or eventually will. It was a project worth working on

Answer 18

@Oscar I would have to disagree, it wouldn't be thrown in the trash, whatever you do now. It'll be picked up by someone in the future.

Answer 19

@JianEnriquez Why should I care? @Jadeishere "Worth" is something relative and an illusion. I think about life this way: If life now doesn't make conventional sense, it will never make conventional sense. So, what if we disregard the living game with all it's parts and just end it? Maybe that's how you win.

Answer 20

Not an illusion, a perception of the minds delusion :) And delusions aren't all bad

Answer 21

What do you achieve by ending it ? This kind of black and white analysis can be a bit dangerous. I think no sane person would live a second more if he gets convinced of the matters of after life

Answer 22

That's the thing. You just said that "delusions aren't all bad" - that's surrender. Life is a party you're forced into. You meet some people. You think. You live. But that's not how I ever intended on doing anything. Maybe my problem is actually the solution. Maybe life actually is nothing. So, here, I came as a bird, and here I fly away from the nest. Committing suicide must be the Easter egg of this party. You people will eventually understand that all the reasons for which you live are lies - sad that it will happen on your death beds. I only thought asking on the internet is one last station before I check out. Anyways, bye. I'ma fly away.

Answer 23

WTF is this????
