Hi I’m a high school student and I have board exams on coming May. I’ve zero motivation since lockdown. I used two cry for every little thing for two hours straight (please I’m not even exaggerating) I’ve been trying to change since then. Happened to meet my friends. My days were terrible. I’m easily demotivated by other’s words. But I don’t have time for that anymore. I know I can do well if I start focusing on my studies right now. But I just can’t start. I just keep telling myself that I won’t make it. I don’t wanna do that anymore. I don’t have time for it. I barely have 50 days for my exams and my career plans are entirely based on those grades. Please help me escape this phase and become a better person.
Im also unmotivated but im still getting up for my future, i want to give a great future for family. My mindset is to be successful even though im sad. Dont give up because of that, there is more to life and i know your tired, keep living my friend, challenges will still be at the road :)
Thank you so much pal. Hope you will achieve everything you aspire.
See here exams not the things to be feared of , see here we are not writing the exams to gain the grades we are actually studying to gain the knowledge and ignite our mind and gain the capacity to think on own , at first check out that whether you love the field that you are studying in if you love the things involved in it then nothing is possible . Everything becomes just easy you wont feel difficulty neither discouraged.
Thank you. I like my subjects. I used to study too. But I can’t do the same anymore . I am not studying. That is the problem. The more early I start. The less trouble there will be. I don’t want to cry when the results come and say I should’ve studied then. I don’t want that to happen. I’ve to start now. I am just not able to.
It’s completely alright to cry you just need to know that you are not alone in this phase I too have exams coming and I try to push me harder sometimes it works.You should try to focus on the little things that make you happy.For me it is a maybe chocolate or musics or any other little things. Hope this helps…
Thank you so much. How do you get yourself to study. I have starting trouble i guess. I must change as soon as i can. I’m not simply complaining instead of studying. I even made a timetable. I just can’t study. I don’t know why it happens. How can I change?
Try this -
1. Give a timeline of 25 minutes and study something that is simple to remember and you would enjoy.
2. After 25 mins are over, take a break of 10 mins. In those 10 mins do something that you like, for example, listen to ur favourite song or a quick call to a friend.
3. Continue with next set of 25 mins of study. After the second round, treat urself by eating something good.
4. You can keep adding these rounds of 25 mins.
5. By the end of the day, appreciate yourself for making these small but significant efforts.
Note- this method helps me!
Good Luck! :)
Thank you so much<3
Will try it out for sure.

Yooo there! I am pretty much dealing with the same fear and pressure…we r in the same boat. Cuz of the pandemic there r sooo many students who couldn’t focus in their studies. It’s no big deal. Also good thing is they have rudecued 30% of the syllabus. Just focus on the important topics. Try solving sample papers and don’t worry they wouldn’t keep a tough paper and at least we can hope for a leanient correction…also hit me up anytime if u need help. Good luck 👍👍
Thank you for your concern. But my problem is that I actually can’t make my mind to study. I’ll follow your advice and practice questions but before that I’ve to study the whole syllabus. Important topics. Okay… but everything except the deleted. It’s like until last year where we had a good idea on the concepts of each and every chapter. It’s not like we just need a quick revision. We have to sit and learn!! That needs focus and determination. Something I don’t have.

Yeah I totally understand…which subjects do you have? For phy just go through the derivations and formulas…chem u can directly solve questions fr inorganic…learn the formulas and practice questions for physical chem and the only struggle is with organic. If u have bio it’s not really a tough task.
Yes I have bio. Organic is comparatively easy for me. I know nothing of inorganic. And physics. There is no use in learning it unless you don’t know the concepts. It’s hard to memorize all the derivations if you just by heart it. I just have to sit and learn. Or it will be impossible to get there. I am not able to study. Please help me : |
Sudipti @pikaagurl
Yeah derivations r quite confusing. Don’t practice each and every derivation. Look for the imp ones. Fr physical just remember the formulas and solve few questions that would be enough
Tell yourself that you are fine and you will be better. Self-talk might help. Imagine the person you would want to become in future who has so many capabilities and is capable to achieve anything. You will get there only when you tell ur present self that this is just a phase. Start small, one day at a time. You can do it!
