Procrastination

Lately I've been feeling awful, i keep coming back to the same cycle of procrastinating something until end, getting no sleep, and then feeling awful for a week. My hygiene hasn't been the best either. I swore that I was going to do good this year because its my first year of high school, but I feel like i am genuinely unfixable.

Like, I've tried everything; schedules, timers, alarms, but nothing seems to suffice (for the entirety of middle school too). I know its my own doing, but sometimes it just feels like I have no control over what I do. I keep finding myself doing things that won't make me fulfilled like doom scrolling or just generally consuming, and it makes me feel miserable.

On god I wanna kms cus of this, I can't ever do anything I enjoy. I haven't drawn in months. Literally right now I'm putting off studying for two tests tomorrow.

Should I just delete all my social media apps, even when most of my connections are there? I'm not sure what to do.

I also struggle with procrastination dude I will give you some tips that helped me a lot ! The five minute rule : I always start my day with this one .its simple any task that can be done in five minutes or under do it right now , dont thinks about don’t postpone it just do it that helped me brushing my teeth and doing my hair even tho my hair takes more than an hour but i lie to myself lol , pomodoro or pomdoro idk how to spell it but its  youtube videos that divide hours into 25 minutes doing a task then five minutes rest or 40 minutes doing a task then 10 minutes rest you can look for the one that is good for you I definitely recommend adding some white or grey or brown noise to it thats how I study when  I’m in another procrastination, this is literally the best way for me to do any task is to have a friend or someone I trust be with me idk why but I just start working and do stuff with my friends I don’t have to talk with them more do they need to watch over me so i can get my studies or work done  they can do there on thing while I do mind checking on each other from time to time , if you can’t do that physically a call with a friend would helps and if you can’t there are some videos like “study with me” videos but thoese videos didn’t help me as much as an actual person ok if everything and I mean EVERYTHING still didn’t work out you have to close every doomscrolling app and anything that you’re consuming and that also includes junk food  turn off your phone for like a week then give yourself a week to play with your phone I don’t recommend doing it completely because I didn’t it in my first or second year of high school and I was miserable isolation + procrastination is a death wish man so I hope you get betterÂ
