Not gonna lie, I haven’t touched my online course in over a week. Every time I try to sit down and study, I just… don’t. I want to care, but the motivation just isn’t there. Has anyone found anything that helped shake that off?

Wow, I felt this on every level. I’ve been feeling guilty for not showing up, but also too tired to force myself. I’ve been looking for something that doesn’t just say “try harder,” and what you described from that article sounds perfect. Going to give it a read tonight and see if it helps get me going again. Thanks for pointing me to something that actually sounds human.
Oof, I feel this hard. I had a week where I didn’t even open my course dashboard — just thinking about it gave me this weird mix of guilt and apathy. It’s like, I want to study, but I can’t get myself to care. What helped me was finding this article https://easyshiksha.com/news/how-to-stay-motivated-while-studying-online: How to Stay Motivated While Studying Online. It’s got these down-to-earth tips that don’t feel like a lecture. One suggestion I liked was building tiny “rituals” before each study session, like making a cup of tea or putting on a specific playlist — it helped signal my brain that it’s study time. I also started rewarding myself for showing up, even if I didn’t get much done. That alone helped rebuild some momentum. The guilt started fading once I felt like I was trying, not failing. I still don’t study perfectly, but I’m back in the game, and this article really helped me start again without shame.
