i feel this so much we gotta remind ourselves that not every action we do defines who we are so what if you “wasted” time it does not make you a bad person so what if you weren’t productive you did the best you could given the circumstances its not important in the grand scheme of things because when you’re on your deathbed you’re not gonna be thinking about how “productive” you were you’re gonna think about your family friends close relationships and memories you’ve made during your life its so cliche but its never too late to start fresh everyday take baby steps for example if you have schoolwork you’re putting off you can do one small thing thats easy to complete and feel really good about it i know its easier said than done but try not to dwell on the past so much because you’re ruining the present moment for yourself when you do that i know you’re probably in an endless loop of hell where you feel unproductive then you feel bad for being unproductive then you feel bad for feeling bad for being unproductive etc try to break the cycle by focusing on today live in the present moment and when you think about the future try to think more positively like telling yourself “what if everything works out” and “if i do this one task today im gonna feel really good about myself tomorrow” it takes time give yourself more credit you made it this far now keep going
