Over the last few months, I've found I just can't focus on anything. Unless I find it interesting on challenging.
Generally, at work this is ok as I enjoy what I do. However, I study for a degree part time, which is in 'Computing and IT' - the same field as my work, BUT it's so out of date, and the content is so boring I just can't do it, until last minute when I have to.
I genuinely think if I had studied this course, before working in tech I may have changed my mind. It's mind numbingly boring. Even if they just taught the content in a better way, something like A Cloud Guru where you have videos, guides to follow along etc. but all I get is books. It's awful.
(While we're on the topic of it, I should be studying... getting back to it now, promise!)
- AQuantized 7y agoDo you happen to be studying through the Open University? I had a very similar experience studying maths part time. My first couple of years were basically just doing the assignments a few days before they were due, and then cramming for the exam. I did eventually manage to get into the habit of doing more consistent gradual work throughout the year, and that's the only advice I could give. The habit of devoting that hour or two per day became the norm and I no longer had to struggle to force myself to study (or fail to).
- 7ewis 7y agoThat's the one! Just find it so hard to concentrate on it, almost wish I hadn't started it but don't want to give up on it now. Will have to try and get into a habit like you, good luck with it!
