Hey /adv/. Good news: my life is going well at the moment. However, I don't want to screw it up.
I'm back from summer and back to studies, and whilst I've been very lucky with the work involved so far, often getting away with procrastination and last minute changes, this year will be a step up. The issue is that I've made a lot of new friends and found a lot of new stuff to do during the summer, so I will easily find ways to be distracted this year when it is crucial that I'm not.
Essentially:
>How do I create a good work ethic?
>How do I stop procrastinating?
>How do I stay motivated?
>How do I find time for everything I want to do?
>How do I stay disciplined whilst I'm out and not do stupid drugs?
Any help on any of the above points is appreciated. Thanks, /adv/.
this is a really lame response and I'm sorry, but the motivation to do what you're asking needs to come from within, it can't come from us.
if I had to offer some practical /adv/ice, it sounds like you need routine. If I could go back and study again after being in the world of work, I would really try to study 9-5 weekdays and then spend evenings and weekends socialising. I know it's not as easy as that, but if you can find some kind of routine like that, it'll offer some direction and help you find that work-life balance.
