Okay, real talk:
If you’re riding the productivity rollercoaster—crushing it one day, then crashing the next—you are absolutely not alone. I am the self-proclaimed master of giving out practical, reasonable advice I absolutely do not follow. (Seriously. I’m like the world’s worst life coach: “Here’s how to win at consistency!” —me, while definitely not doing any of it.)

Exhibit A:
Every “solution” I’m about to suggest, I can’t actually say I do myself. If I did, I’d be writing this from my private yacht, not from the Land of Perpetual Procrastination.

But hey, on the off chance you’re better at taking advice than I am, here’s what Theoretically Responsible Me would recommend:

• Get a checkup. Vitamin imbalances, thyroid stuff—turns out, that can really mess with your energy and mood. This one I learned the hard way and could have fixed a lot sooner had I actually taken my own advice the first time. Plus, if you're in school, a lot of them do free vitamin shots. Miracle stuff!
• Stop working like a caffeinated squirrel. I always tell people to avoid all-or-nothing days and “just set a timer for breaks!” (Meanwhile, I’m over here ignoring timers and sprinting straight into burnout.)
• Enlist a friend or slap sticky notes everywhere. Accountability helps! Unless you, like me, are amazing at pretending you don’t see reminders.

So… yeah. Take what you want from my pile of unused advice. And if you do discover a trick that actually works for mere mortals, I am begging you to share.

Wishing you good luck (and a much better follow-through rate than mine)! 🫶

Maybe you should take it easier. Don't reach for the impossible. Train yourself to work in small steps. Start with less work and increase it slightly day by day. Don't tell yourself something like lets's work 10 hours today. Because that is discouraging. If you don't reach that unrealistic target, you feel like a failure. And you will feel even more down then. And you don't want that.

Its not about how much a day you are doing and how you feel, its about "are you doing it every day?".Even for 10 minutes or five minutes,you should read every day.Its like your github commit graph, no matter how many dark greens are there, each day should be green.Yeah, again after some days if you see you missed some, still you have progressed to do most of the days!

I am no expert but by practicing the above, saw a change!

You should tell yourself every day that if you try for an hour, it will be enough for the whole day, and if you try harder, record it as a positive point of the day.
