I feel like it’s a pointless waste of time for me idk…

Does it actually help you learn and is it worth it? Or should you just skip it for that day and wait till you don’t feel like death

    It will make you angry and frustrated, if that’s what you’re looking for. Probably doesn’t help with learning at all, quite the contrary. If you’re interested and engaged with the material, you can learn so much faster. If you hate what you’re doing, there will be very little progress, if any. Take a nap, and look at the material with fresh eyes when you feel better.

    There can also be something I call “mental inertia”. Occasionally, it’s difficult to get started. That’s when a short warmup can help. Start with something easy, to get in the right mood. After that, you can tackle some of the harder problems.

      Damn. See the thing is I’ve been sleep deprived for a few days now. I feel like at this rate if I don’t study I’ll never achieve my goals. Idk

        You need a strategy to reach your goals, and it should include getting enough sleep. Neglecting it will not help with your goals, unless one of them is to be as miserable as possible.

            If you’ve truly got no choice in how you manage your time, what does it matter if you should study when sleep deprived? Just sit back and let life make your decisions for you.

            Or, work on your time management and work/ life balance so you aren’t forced to do things when exhausted.
