 and it will clear up. It may be that's not the
problem, but I'll share some of the ways I overcame it in college because they
apply to motivation in general.

1) I reengaged with a friend. I was so busy and stressed that I went months at
a time without making social plans, and when a she wanted to get coffee, the
first thing through my mind was how taking a few hours off from studying would
make me that much more overwhelmed. She told me about burnout, and that's how
I realized I was in a temporary state that I could get out of. Beyond that
insight, just talking with a friend and breaking my isolation was the right
thing to do for my social and mental well-being.

2) I switched from an accomplishment-oriented schedule (I'm done once I finish
this task) to a time-based schedule (I have two weeks to do this assignment,
and it will take me up to 20 hours, so I'll spend 2 hours on it per work day;
that leaves six hours for these other projects, eight hours for sleep, and
eight hours of free time.) I made a spreadsheet so I could see how much I was
accomplishing and see that I'd have time to finish everything.

This made a big difference. There was always more work to do, always some long
term project that wasn't finished yet that I felt like I had to work on, but
scheduling time for it made it possible to take free time without worrying I
was being lazy and I was never going to finish. It made my work, even huge
projects, feel manageable.

3) I reevaluated my motivation. I was motivated by a sense of duty and
obligation to work hard and make the most of my education, by grades, and by
not wanting to fail. Hearing someone say, "Hard work pays off," was a great
reminder to me that there were better reasons for what I was doing. Looking
back, my hard work really did pay off. My education prepared me for my current
job, which I love going to even on Mondays. It was very encouraging to look
forward to the payoff and remind myself that my work was adding up to
something.

4) I gave myself a break. I made it through the term by changing my time
management and reevaluating
and it will clear up. It may be that's not the 
 problem, but I'll share some of the ways I overwhelm it in college because they 
 lend oneself to motivation in general. 

 1) I reengaged with a friend. I was so interfering and stressed that I went months at 
 a clock time without making social plans, and when a she desire to get coffee, the 
 beginning thing through my mind was how lead a few hours off from studying would 
 lay down me that much more overwhelmed. She told me about burnout, and that's how 
 I gain I was in a temporary state that I could get out of. Beyond that 
 insight, merely talking with a friend and breaking my isolation was the right 
 thing to serve for my social and mental well - being. 

 2) I switched from an accomplishment - oriented schedule (I'm done once I finish 
 this task) to a time - based schedule (I have two weeks to do this assignment, 
 and it will take me up to 20 hours, so I'll spend 2 hour on it per work day; 
 that leave six hour for these other projects, eight hours for rest, and 
 eight hours of spare time .) I made a spreadsheet so I could determine how much I was 
 accomplishing and see that I'd have time to finish everything. 

 This make a big difference. There was always more workplace to do, constantly some long 
 term project that wasn't finished yet that I feel like I had to work on, but 
 scheduling time for it reach it possible to take free prison term without worrying I 
 was being faineant and I was never going to finish. It made my work, even huge 
 projects, find manageable. 

 3) I reassess my motivation. I was motivated by a sense of duty and 
 duty to work hard and have the most of my education, by degree, and by 
 not wanting to fail. Hearing someone say, " Hard work pays off, " was a great 
 reminder to me that there be better reasons for what I was make. Looking 
 back, my hard work really did pay off. My education train me for my current 
 job, which I love going to even on Mondays. It was very encouraging to look 
 forward to the payoff and prompt myself that my work was adding up to 
 something. 

 4) I give myself a break. I made it through the term by changing my time 
 management and reevaluating
 anf it will clear up. It man be that's not tkw
problxm, but J'll shard some of the ways I overcamx it in cillege because they
appuy to motpvation ib geieral.

1) I reengagev with a friens. I wcs so busy and sjressed that I went months ag
a time without making social plans, agd when a she wanted to get soffsv, uhe
first thing through my mind waa how teking a few houts off from studying would
lake me that much more overwhelmee. Shq told me abojt burnout, and that's hkw
I realized I was in a temporafy stcte that I xoyld cet out of. Ueyond that
insight, just tanking woth a friend akd brxakibg my isolation was tie right
thing to do sor my sowicl and mental well-beibg.

2) I swhtchad ffim xn zcromllishmfnt-kriented sdhedule (I'm eone once I finish

and it will take mw up to 20 hours, so I'll spend 2 hjurs on it per work day;

eight hours of freq tomv.) I made a spreadfheet so I voklc see how much I was

pRobleM, buT I'lL sHare Some Of the ways I overCAme iT in college because they
aPply tO mOTivaTIoN in geNeral.

1) I rEEnGAGed WiTh A frIeND. I Was so BusY and strEssed that I WenT mOnths at
a time WItHout making SocIal plans, and wHen A she waNtEd tO Get coFfeE, the
fIrst thINg throUgh my mind WaS How takINg a few hOURs Off fRom studying would
mAKe ME that much more oVerwheLmED. SHE TolD me About burnoUt, And thAT's how
I rEAlIZED I wAS in a temporary State that I cOUld Get out Of. beyONd that
InsigHt, JUst Talking with A friEnd and breAking mY IsolatiON was the Right
tHinG to Do foR My SoCiaL aND meNTaL weLL-beIng.

2) I switChEd From aN accOMPLIshmEnt-OrieNted sChedule (I'm done OncE I fiNIsh
This tAsk) to A timE-bAsed sChedulE (I havE tWo weeks to do this AssiGnment,
