Doing homework trying to not procrastinate

Good job lad, the bane of my existence when I used to do homework. Need some cheering up ?

Yes pls, i'm still procrastinating

Bit of stretcher if you know what I mean. So, the story goes like this, during my school times, like everyone I hated my Homework, everyday the same type of work, write this, learn that, study that yada yada yada....One day after my Math class, I had an idea, my teachers would always check the signs of my parents the next day after giving us homework on a copy. I devised a plan to learn my parents sign...I was successful for a few weeks, but I felt bad for doing it. So I did it for 3 weeks until I could complete my homework and stopped it. After a couples of weeks again the work got overflown on me like a tsunami.

I got bitter...too bitter, I hated going to school so much that I started to despise it. I devised another idea. I thought to myself....how could I get any homework If I didn't have a copy to write it down on. The plan was simple, to hide my copy somewhere, where no one can find it. I roamed around my school and found a fake plant garden, it had bushes and plants around it, it was perfect. I hid the copy under the bushes after class and then told the teacher that I didn't have the copy. She left me off the hook couple of times and I was doing my homework in my own pacing, slowly but surely. Every week for 3 months I did it with no regards as my grades were good but the pacing of the school was torture.
In the end, I thought to myself that why is it that my friends were able to do their homework so easily and effectively that it didn't even bother them. Turns out the answer was simple, they had a schedule they would follow, I learned that not all teachers are the same, I learned from my friends about how to maintain work and my sanity, while also get to play my games. They taught me that after classes, eat, sleep, work, play, work, play, eat, sleep and that's it. THE proper strategy was never taught to us from the beginning, rather loads of homework was given in order to see which student can complete their homework the best way, while also get good grades.

I stopped doing the whole Escape plan and disciplined myself to go with what helped me to achieve the best results. Teachers believe that all students are the same, that not true, everyone learns, reads, complies information in their own ways. If not for my friends, I would still be stuck in a back of a class or something else.

I hope this story doesn't give you any funny ideas, instead learn from my mistake and take the information in a way you can achieve your goals better.

P.S: This has to be one of the longest stories I've told anyone.

Well, after the absolute uncontrolled bender the last weekend I'm going to try (once again) to stay sober for as long as I can, or at least until a big concert coming up next month and then a wedding the following week lmao. The huge hangovers I get, along with the panic attacks and being severely more depressed than usual are totally not worth it, so I gotta really try to at least reserve drinking for special occasions that make the hangover feel like it's been worth it lmao

inb4 I try to delete this post for oversharing lmao

My method of procrastination is that I do the homework for like 30 seconds, use my phone for atleast 20 minutes, rinse and repeat

 

[Samatonic Samatonic]

That's because of the sad reality, it that we, the current generation, have developed the focus lower then a goldfish that has the attention span of about 9 seconds. The fault is because of us, we have literally everything in our finger tips, we are constantly fed information, we stop looking back for 10 seconds before moving to the next post, so many stupid ads has started to pop up. TikTok (No offense to anyone) technically started the whole Dead-Scrolling and we are the only ones to blame for allowing such things to take over.

To be completely honest, I don't have any social media apps on my phone only YouTube. I only speak on this platform on my Laptop, otherwise I don't have any ways to see everything that happening on this website.

So don't think that you're the only one having this problem, try your best to at least increase your attention span, read a book, don't look at your phone every 10 seconds or else it will consume you as it has before many others.

 

[Xdqwerty Xdqwerty]

read a book, don't look at your phone every 10 seconds or else it will consume you as it has before many others.

I only like physical books , idk where the library is or if it even exists anymore and we can't buy stuff online in my country

 

[Samatonic Samatonic]

Good Strategy, I myself indulge in a good physical copy of my favorite books.

 

[Xdqwerty Xdqwerty]

I'm considering taking a break from the internet since my family realized I was taking too long with my homework and that I had a phone addiction

 

[Samatonic Samatonic]

That the root of all problem right there . I wish for you to complete your homework first, then we'll talk if you want to. Don't want to keep you replying.

I think I am uncapable of expressing my emotions in front of others

 

[Samatonic Samatonic]

I think I am uncapable of expressing my emotions in front of others

And why do you think that ? do you believe that it's holding you back ?

 

[Xdqwerty Xdqwerty]

And why do you think that ?

Bc i'm always unexpressive whenever I am in front of others

 

[Samatonic Samatonic]

Bc i'm always unexpressive whenever I am in front of others

Believe me, I've been there, after a couple of years and the right people, I got over my shyness and non expressiveness to a more approachable person. I ask you this when I speak to you, what do I make you feel ?

 

[Xdqwerty Xdqwerty]

what do I make you feel ?

Idk

 

[Samatonic Samatonic]

Idk

When I talk to someone, even though they could be faking it, mean, nice, sad, angry, the number one rule of speaking to someone is to first listen to reason. People like it when someone lends an ear and listen, I have a bad habit of trying to help and by God if I can, I will. When engaging in a conversation with someone, understanding is key to it all. You will feel more open to communicate with someone and express a lot more. Yes, there are times when some will try to use you, but that's the thing, you will be prepared by the three most powerful teachers, time, life itself and those around you.

I'm often hit with an intrusive thought to delete every trace of myself from the internet and disappear without a trace. I doubt I would ever go through with it, but sometimes I feel like I desperately need a clean break.

I've thought about this many a times, I even had the idea of creating a kill switch for my accounts after my death either through the power of coding and stuff like that, the best way was to ask a family member to delete my accounts and take the photos they needed and to remove all traces of me. I only wish to be remember in memory of those who really thought of me as a friend or just a person who helped out someone or just a silly goose having fun.

I guess it's hard to explain without going into some detail. I've taken over responsibility in the past few months with something online, and there's sometimes I feel a bit trapped by it now. Even though I know I'll probably stick with it, and this feeling always passes, sometimes I just feel like nuking everything and walking away.

I don't know, it sounds silly writing it out like this.

Nah, I get ya, to leave everything behind and to release yourself from these bounds. To be released from the shackles of social media and for once be back to when people talked to each other about stuff. If life gave us a chance, I would be happy to meet you myself. But for now, think of it as a passage of time that might whiz by and the largest star of the night sky carries you away to the furthest parts of your dreams.

I'm sorry you're going through this.

Drug dependency and addiction really hit tender spots for me too, though I've been sober for awhile. Horrible mounting side effects you get now are definitely the signs from your body telling you that it's time to leave all that crap behind.

You'll get so much better, I promise you. Music is so much more enjoyable sober.

Good News!

After THIRTEEN YEARS of doctors not taking my IBS issues seriously (issues as in spending the better part of a decade designing my life around this mess) I finally met a doctor who had IBS as his like special interest, and finally prescribed me some medication for my issues. Hopefully it will help with my quality of life, from stomach pain to the anxiety caused by it.

All it took was to finally get a doctor who looked like he was younger than I was (feels like older doctors don’t really think of it as anything other than regular stomach pain).

I’m gonna go get the stuff at the apothecary tomorrow.
