Your professors are there to help you and your school probably has a program dedicated just to helping you get out of bad situations.

Asking for help is the biggest lesson I have had to learn in my entire my life. It’s still a struggle, a few weeks ago I got a kidney infection and was knocked on my ass for two weeks straight. Didn’t bother to ask for a doctors note thinking it was totally possible for me to stay on top of my work, I was doing fine with it at the time. 6 weeks later I’m still not at 100%, I keep getting more new crap piled on while I’m trying to stay on top of the stuff from two weeks ago. Now I’m having to go in and beg for understanding from my professor to avoid failing. All of which could have been avoided if I had asked for help from him in the first place.

I’m a medical student and have really had to hone my studying technique just to stay afloat, using all of the techniques you mentioned and more. What blew me away is that you said “Why are you waiting until the last night night studying 6 hours when they had 7 days where they could put in an hour a day of studying and have more time for other stuff an less stress.”

I realized that i’m studying almost that many hours a day every day… and much much more on certain days. And that’s not including class time.

For example yesterday I woke up at 4:30 AM and went to bed shortly after midnight. During that entire time I probably had 2 hours of total downtime.

And I didn’t feel that shitty.

It’s crazy how your mentality starts to adapt if you just push it a little.

High School was easy. Messed up my first year of college, but now I’m working towards my CIS degree. I currently have a 4.0 and I’ve even been working out. So to sum it all up, I follow these steps and that allows me to work, go to school, work out, and play video games everyday, with little to no problems.

Amazing OP thanks for the post.

Example: I usually work 40 hours a week. Because I’m on call, some weeks I get a random Tuesday off. I spend this day being ridiculously productive. Today is one of those days. I’ve bagged 7bags of leaves, cleaned the house up and down, and after lunch plan to do more. I’m not even tired, and I’m pregnant. I get a week off, and I see productivity go down. I’m no longer thinking “After I clean up, I’m going to go finish painting the spare room.” I’m thinking, “baaaaaaaaaaaa Reddit.”

My roommate is on unemployment. She does, literally, nothing. She sleeps all day, watches True Blood all night, and is always complaining about how tired she is.

Being in a good habit of DOING THINGS is a good way to keep energy up for things like studying, working out, etc. And you get all sorts of positive reinforcement, which we all know is pretty helpful.
