I started studying in December while also working a full‑time job. Looking back, even though I tried to study as much as I could, I felt foggy and unfocused. I would take ‘social media breaks’ while learning, and I can say with 100% certainty that this was the main reason I wasn’t getting everything I could out of the CC. I deleted social media at the beginning of this month, and the difference in the quality of my studying is night and day.
This may not apply to you, but if you’re struggling to focus and notice that you find yourself scrolling for dopamine, I highly recommend taking a break from social media. Once you get used to not having it, you’ll find you have a much easier time focusing mentally and physically while studying.
