Hey Choo!
It’s totally normal to feel lazy or unmotivated sometimes, especially when things get overwhelming. Here are some little habits you can try each day to keep pushing forward:
Start small: Begin your day with a tiny task you can knock out easily—whether it’s making your bed or writing one line in your journal. It gets the momentum going!
Break things down: Big tasks can feel like mountains. Break them into small steps and focus on one thing at a time. Getting through those little wins will boost your confidence!
Celebrate mini wins: Every time you finish a task, even if it’s a small one, give yourself a mental high-five. It’s all progress!
Stay connected: Talk to someone you trust about how you’re feeling. Sometimes just getting it off your chest can help you feel lighter and more motivated.
Give yourself breaks: Rest isn’t laziness—it’s essential for keeping your energy up. Take breaks, do something fun, or just relax for a bit.
Positive vibes: Surround yourself with things that make you feel good, whether that’s uplifting music, quotes, or hanging with people who cheer you up.
It’s all about finding that balance and knowing it’s okay to take things slow. Keep pushing forward, even in small steps—you’ve got this! ✨

Hello Choo,
It's really common to feel lazy or unmotivated when things start to feel overwhelming. The key is finding ways to break things down and making sure your goals feel more attainable.
Set a Daily Goal: Pick one task each day that you absolutely need to finish. It could be something simple like completing a homework assignment or reviewing notes for 30 minutes.
Create a Routine: Try to set up a simple daily routine-having a consistent wake-up time, study time, and breaks. Routines can help provide you structure and get you into the zone more easily.
Break Tasks into Mini-Tasks: Instead of looking at a big project or exam prep, try breaking it down into smaller, manageable parts. For instance, instead of saying "I need to study for a math test," try looking at it like "I'll study the first chapter of my notes for at least 20 minutes." The smaller the task is, he less intimidating it feels.
Do Something You Enjoy Each Day/Stay Active: Whether it's listening to music, drawing, or spending time with family/friends, take time for yourself every day to refresh your mind. Even a quick walk or some light stretching can do wonder for your energy levels and mood.
Everyone experiences periods of low motivation, so don't be too hard on yourself. The key is to building small, sustainable habits that can gradually pull you out of the slump. If you're finding it tough to push through on certain days, that's still perfectly okay and taking breaks every once in a while.
I hope this helps you out!
Best Regards,
Emily Garcia

Thank you for your question. Firstly, you have to establish a schedule for yourself to follow. You can find a time management to help, eg Google Calendar, MS Outlook, phone calendar, etc
Below are my suggestions:
1. Put down the time you need to attend classes
2. Allocate some time every day on your assignment and projects. Do revision on the material covered in the day
3. Make sure you have enough time to sleep and exercise
4. Assign some time on the weekend for leisure and friends & family gathering
You don't need to fill up the schedule completely. Leave some time for relaxation and reflection.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
May Almighty God bless you!
