i can't study or focus for shit

[Deleted member 21863]

I literally can't get anything done. I suck at executing tasks, sitting down to study or doing anything. I can't sit in a single place for more than 5 minutes on a single task, tf should I do?
tried downing myself in stimulants btw, they make me start procrastinating even more passionately
If I feel good, I get too satisfied/ and start daydreaming. If I feel stress/anxiety, I procrastinate to escape the feelings. I sit in a place and I get so many ideas and want to do do many things I end up in this maladaptive daydreaming frenzy, while I haven't done a thing

I don't pay attention in a single class at uni nor do i study more than 2 days before an exam, nor do I finish my assignments on time, nor do I do any other important or even fun tasks or execute any ideas I've been planning and somehow keep ldaring and engaging in mindless tasks because anything productive feels too hard and energy taxing

Monk mode - throw all your devices away, everything digital or electronic, so no TV, radio, computer, smartphone, etc., and then just study like a medieval monk...

You need discipline...
Modern technology has ruined humans, when I was a kid we didn't have anything: no Internet, social media, smartphones, not even cable TV! We had then in Romania only one TV channel that showed usually propaganda in the communist era and after that mostly high-brow stuff to educate and civilize the people: opera, ballet, classical music, jazz, theater plays, art films, etc...Anyway, these were of little interest to a kid.
When I came back from school, there was literally nothing else to do at home: no Internet to waste time, nothing to see on TV, no video games, etc. So it simply came natural to study, do my homework, etc., all the other kids were also doing the same thing at the same time, there was also no one outside to play with, only later in the evening.
Then slowly all sorts of distractions started to trickle in: we got cable with dozens of tv stations, and there was always some exciting stuff you could see, then we bought a game console. I would often take breaks from studying and doing my homework to watch something or play a game.
Then we got a computer with even more amazing games, then the Internet were you could waste a huge amount of time browsing and never getting bored, etc. With every new distraction my concentration and interest in studying decreased.
Last time when I was in college the smartphone and social media era was just starting, so I imagine that now it's even more difficult for many people to study or do anything useful when there's a lot of more interesting stuff they could do instead.

Yes, I'm qualified, because I've been in the both opposite situations. I lived in the era before technology so I know how it was back then and how easy was to do stuff, get organized, work, study, etc.

True

Technology is designed to be addicting, I would argue it’s as bad as drugs in how it has changed human behaviour. Many kids are anti social and don’t know how to hold a proper conversation without whipping out their phone and scrolling tiktok/snapchat/whatever

I think in the future there will need to be more regulations to protect kids, probably will never happen tho cause these software companies make too much money and have too much influence.

1) Do u masturbate?

2) Do u suffer from Maladaptive daydreaming?

These could be the Reasons imo.

Try Sleep Cycle app for Sleeping. And stay in bed for 7 hrs from now and try 2 sleep greater than 6 hrs in a single night without any breaks in between.

Sleeping helps me. If i don't smeep properly i start wasting time the nxt day. Try avoiding any stumulants like phone and naps.
