In a past life I was a college math instructor and I still love the stuff so if there's anything in that area I can help with send me a ping!

Hey guys, just wanted to quickly introduce myself as someone you can go to for academic assistance. If you need help with history, humanities, literature, or writing feel free to reach out to me either on here or my DM's.

So, it's finals today and I have a problem. I had all A's this semester, and a lot of them dropped to B's, C's, and one F... I don't know what happened, but I feel like my brain has been fried this month, it seems so hard to focus on work and study like I used to at the beginning of the semester. What can I do?

2017-12-11 18:09:33 UTC  

Is this burnout?

2017-12-11 18:10:15 UTC  

@The Eternal Anglo Where are you studying?

2017-12-11 18:10:30 UTC  

As in, physical location. Are you near a computer or a laptop when studying?

2017-12-11 18:10:59 UTC  

I study at my home PC, in the master bedroom

2017-12-11 18:11:11 UTC  

All my classes require online attention

2017-12-11 18:11:19 UTC  

What subjects are you taking?

2017-12-11 18:11:41 UTC  

(in general)

2017-12-11 18:12:11 UTC  

Intermediate Algebra, Python, Microcomputer application (Microsoft applications) visual arts, and intermediate english

2017-12-11 18:12:45 UTC  

Are you finding yourself neglecting one or more subjects until the deadline becomes uncomfortably close?

2017-12-11 18:13:25 UTC  

Yupp, mainly with math/microsoft applications

2017-12-11 18:13:36 UTC  

(first year student btw)

2017-12-11 18:13:51 UTC  

Are you familiar with the term "context switching?"

2017-12-11 18:14:19 UTC  

Not entirely

2017-12-11 18:14:42 UTC  

OK, so here's what I think is happening. It's the same problem I had throughout my college years.

2017-12-11 18:14:54 UTC  

You're studying on your PC, seems like that's by necessity

2017-12-11 18:15:07 UTC  

but there are so many distractions available

2017-12-11 18:15:16 UTC  

Discord, Twitter, who knows what else

2017-12-11 18:15:44 UTC  

So as soon as the material becomes boring or difficult to comprehend, your brain seeks the easier novelty available through these other mediums
