Studying online is honestly way harder than I expected. No schedule, no teacher watching you — just a browser full of distractions and good intentions. I’ve wasted entire afternoons bouncing between YouTube, email, and pretending to study. I tried those browser blockers and productivity hacks, but none of it stuck long-term. What did help me was this article https://easyshiksha.com/news/how-to-stay-motivated-while-studying-online: How to Stay Motivated While Studying Online. It talks about not just what to do, but why it’s hard — and that made it feel more relatable. There are simple things like setting up rewards, switching up your space now and then, and even using online accountability groups. I liked how real it felt — not perfect, just progress-focused. I don’t have perfect focus now, but I get a lot more done, and I’m not beating myself up over it. Honestly worth reading if you’re tired of the same old tips.
