hey! I've usually only used planners for a to-do list kind of thing, but I'd like to start planning my day on paper and moving away from google calendar since it gets cluttered and has a lot of things that I don't end up going to or doing. Wondering if you guys had any recommendations for this =D both products and techniques appreciated
I've been struggling with depression for a couple years and just started looking into getting help for it. Up until now I've been able to thug it out in my day to day life as far as just slogging through the days but I've gotten to the point where I can't. I'm a first year college student at a very rigorous university and I've always been smart but not good at studying, and now in the time that would be optimal to learn how to study and actually learn I've been hit with a wave of just not being able to do anything. I learned a long time ago that motivation isn't enough, discipline is what gets things done, but I guess I don't have that, or my willpower isn't strong enough, because I no longer have the discipline to do things as small as submit my assignments on time or get out of bed. I'm seriously worried about failing several finals soon and even more worried about implications as I go into next year taking harder classes.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I have a decently well identified problem - I'm usually pretty good at identifying problems and their root causes, and usually even with identifying solutions, but I struggle with implementing and executing on the plans that I make. I would really appreciate some advice or encouragement on how to tackle this issue, especially from people who have been here before.
