I used to put off studying until the last possible second—classic “I’ll start in 5 minutes” that turned into scrolling for hours. Here’s what finally helped:
🍅 Pomodoro Method – 25 min focus, 5 min break. Trick my brain into thinking, “It’s just 25 min, no big deal.” Somehow, I end up getting through way more.
⏳ The 2-Minute Rule – If it takes less than 2 min to start, do it immediately. Opening my notes? Easy. Writing a title? Done. Momentum = achieved.
🎁 Reward System – Study for an hour? I get a snack. Finish an assignment? 30 min of guilt-free gaming. Works way better than forcing myself through misery.
Still struggling? Sometimes, I just wish I could pay someone to do my homework—but having the right strategies (and a little essay help when needed) makes a huge difference.
Anyone else have tricks that actually work?
