Never going on Reddit again ....
It's been a long time since I last visited Reddit, and my mental health had improved a lot > Then I spent about an 1.5hr scrolling, and I was genuinely shocked by the amount of racism directed at Indians. > It was overwhelming and now i am proll...
why am I unable to study?

I genuinely don't understand
I want to be an IAS officer very badly
It is not something I'm doing because my parents want me to
Yet I just stay in my bed all day scrolling on my phone and doing nothing.
Sometimes I feel guilty and sit down to study.
Yet I study for 2 to 3 days then go back to slacking and wasting time watching stuff.
I feel bad and guilty as hell but I am still unable to stop. Even though I have just one attempt left.
If my desire is genuine why am I unable to bring myself to actually take action that will achieve that desire?

I unfortunately don't have a solution to the problem.
This is not a problem of motivation, interest or laziness. This is a problem of task intertia and task paralysis.
Studying for meme exams is about consistency, but we operate differently. Something has to be interesting, or novel, or challenging, or there should be a deadline with sensible consequences (like studying for exams at the last minute because of fear of failure). Meme exams are boring shit - there's nothing new, social science and other subjects are just boring, there are no deadlines, and cramming random facts is not challenging. It simply doesn't work.
I don't know what the solution is.

remove every social media apps from your phone, yes even youtube. keep whatsapp password protected
also motivation is temporary, try to bring discipline in your life, you can start with smaller changes such as keeping your room clean or doing some home chores (this seem stupid, but it works) and then gradually increase the difficulty, try to sit everyday at least 1 hour, if you don't feel like studying sit anyway

the solution is to be born an autist and continuing doing it like a retard

UPSC is not meant for autistic people.

if you keeping looking at it like muh doomscrolled, nyoo time wasting like you did for every single day , nothing is ever happening.
change your perspective, cope, think that some evil parasite has taken your mind , and then fast and deworm and think that you have conquered it.
while doing so, remember to keep yourself as away as from your phone/laptop and stuff by thinking that the parasite will grow if i doomscroll and shiet.

normtard cookie cutter advice and doesn't work after some time, if you tried applying them seriously
>motivation is temporary, try to bring discipline in your life
I have actually looped back to thinking motivation is absolutely necessary
When sensible motivation exists for a goal, discipline quite literally becomes a natural step to move forward. It doesn't feel like this massive boulder that people make of it
Depending sheerly on discipline unironically made me sort of a retard in many ways, it leaves you directionless and illusions you into thinking that moving in circles is progress.
>try to sit everyday at least 1 hour
sitting hours isn't even the point when you're burned out of THAT specific lifestyle
Its kind of a resource specific burnout where you could churn through a particularly boring novel, some codeshit problem or even a fucking math book, but just can't even look at THAT thing.
As far as meme exams are considered, having a good support system is the largest unseen factor of success I have observed myself.
