Student advice please

Hello hope everyone is alright.

I need advice on being productive for today. It’s a bit strange because I have an assignment that I wrote more words in less time, yesterday. But today I was working so slowly, with a lot of procrastination whereas yesterday was smooth.

im a bit concerned with productivity it feels out of my control like yesterday was very productive then all of a sudden today I’m not. I’ll seek out professional support in the near future, but could anyone give me advice on what I can do?

I will answer based on my personal experience as a victim of anxiety. Please do not neg me or hate because I am not a professional.

 

I have run into these swings all the time and it is completely normal. I have experienced anxiety issues about 3 years ago so this is frequent for me. Talk to a professional if you are diagnosed with any mental health issue. Do not let this become a burden to you unless it is interminable. There are what psychologists call off - days, in non - formal language, and they are completely out of our control. You may want a talk with someone if you are letting one off - day get to you, as off - days are prevalent for everyone. I knew something was off when I felt sick for about, 6 weeks, and that's when I was told I had anxiety. Unfortunately I did not know better because I was only 9. But if you experience one off - day, it is no big deal.

 

All in all, I am in no way a professional and have no rights to diagnose you, so my suggestion is to wait for tomorrow to come, then the next day, then the next... 

 

I am sorry for being such a burden to your shoulders. You can do whatever you want to my post. I am 13 btw.

I think we all experience this to a certain degree.  Since school ended I have been very unproductive.

It seems like you're tired sis. The professional will tell you that you and your brain deserves a break and days off. I got in that mode during uni as well when I worked 7 days a week whether it was classes or learning at home because I thought I am not good enough compared to my peers. Work-life balance is way easier to manage when working because you have that 8 hours at work (even through in reality you're capable of productively working like 6 hours) and weekends off with no homework to do.

Create and award system for yourself? If you will finish this and this part - award (make awards small but tempting :))))  could be breaks to read or browse or candy or fruit or something else. Also, don't forget to praise yourself for the parts you have already done! Aloud! When I neeeeeeeeeed to finish a project but am not in the mood, I plan and make 4-5 small award breaks. It motivates me somehow XD
