Sometimes it feels like your brain is intentionally trying to sabotage your efforts. It’s not like you don’t realise the importance of things that you have to do. I would like to be able to study all the time. Gaining knowledge is very satisfying yet sometimes I just don’t want to work anymore. Why would that be?
Sometimes I don’t even feel tired and while I should probably study, I end up watching Stargate, surfing Reddit for hours (AskScience, Physics, Technology, Apple), reading random Wired articles or reading wikipedia articles about biology and astrophysics. Ostensibly doing things that won’t help me get better grades, or help me in a way I am aware of.
I envy those people I hear about from my teachers that solve entire exercise books or grasp advanced math and physics with the ease of reading a news article. Is there a switch in the brain that tells us things of consequence are boring?
Why does one rebel against its own judgement? Could this be what separates human beings from machines?
