Procrastination

This was totally me at the end of my degree. In my mind, I already had it and had pushed myself so hard anyway. I feel I have to convince my brain to get "into it." But this is no easy task.....I think time crunches help me-bc there's no other option. I graduated/finished my last class on the absolute last day. Your brain is no doubt tired. My husband came up with an idea that I should have a class after that...so I signed up for Open University. He thought maybe I wasn't able to finish the last classes, bc there wasn't another on after. I thought the idea interesting, tried it & it worked. I also had Prob/Statistics, which normally is a subject I like--but it was WAY too much information. I just did my best to grasp everything w/o losing the previous information learned--I find this can happen when there's way more. You just need to keep going, everyday-do a little. You most likely are reaching burnout & COVID19 individually/collectively has stressed/jacked us all up, so cut yourself some slack. See if there isn't any leeway-bc COVID19, they should be more flexible with extensions and such. I used 'word' documents with each chapters 'main info.' Everyday....I told myself I'd complete 1-pg....but some days, I could not get my brain to cooperate--so I really feel your pain. Just realize you have been running a marathon, slow and steady wins the race. I was just in your place like 2months ago----I know how you feel & YOU CAN DO THIS!

Also, if you're working on top of this....REALLY cut yourself some slack. When I worked, I only completed 3 classes per 6 months---it was so hard. I do not have finite brain power...I'm good from 10-3pm and after that....forget it. When I quit my toxic job, I completed 11 classes and now am dealing with burnout. You want this degree and you're so close to the finish line---just keep going
