Have you ever found yourself completely unmotivated to start studying? Like it is the hardest thing in the world?

Well, I have, multiple times. I can’t even begin to count all these days that I promised myself I would study, but eventually didn’t do anything even remotely close. Countless times staring at a closed book or notes, trying to persuade myself to just start! To be honest, most of these times, I actually failed.

Sometimes, though, this is not acceptable. I’m known to have been an immense procrastinator, so a lot of times I eventually underperformed, as I didn’t start studying early enough (or didn’t even study at all). For occasions like this, you need to have some techniques to motivate yourself to study. Let’s dive into some of the things you should work on beforehand, and some techniques you can use on the spot, to get past that initial state of procrastination.
