Struggling with College Assignments and Burnout

I use this app that grows real trees if you stay on the app and not leave it. I found it helped back when I was in college knowing that if I just focused on this for half an hour, a tree would be planted (and I wouldn’t want the plant to die). I know what it’s like to be either burnt out or depressed from college. It’s draining. Even doing things with a friend might just be something that’ll help a little.

i struggle with this a lot, even when i know i have work to do i can’t get myself to do it, even if it’s important or a big part of my grade

For myself i make sure when i finish my tasks i do something i love like tv show watching or reading that really helps for me when I am feeling burnout

Not feeling joy in things is a big part of depression. Maybe speak to a doctor about it if you would like. What helps me get started when overwhelmed is talking through what I have to do with someone else. Like maybe you could tell them you are overwhelmed and you want to tell them what chapters you have to read. That helps me get interested in what the chapter is and then it’s easier to do it. Also maybe make a checklist or some type of reward for when you finish one. And if you have an online textbook, see if you can have it read aloud to you and you can watch it. That is a lot easier than having to motivate yourself to keep reading.

I've been there, usually when I'm getting burnt out like that I look for something new, new movies new activities. Obviously money plays into everything but I would recommend trying something just midly out of your comfort zone, maybe a new instrument or different art style if you're into art. I know that alot of us on the spectrum like our creature comforts and movies can be one of those I would recommend stepping slightly out of what you're used to in the movie area. That being said it's also perfectly acceptable to just relax a day, even if it bugs you to be doing nothing forcing yourself to do nothing will make you feel more motivated to do what you enjoy
