Please give me motivation to finish my thesis, I’m so tired but I have to graduate this semester. Scream at me, haunt my dreams, astral project to make sure I’m working on it, ANYTHING will be fine.
If you're almost having a burnout about it, I have some hints- first take a break so you can breathe and reorganize your ideas- spend a whole day without thinking about your thesis if you need. Then, take an afternoon to divide the objectives in smaller tasks, change your workspace, maybe try to write outside, prepare a nice tea or latte, grab some cookies, put a nice music in the background- try to make the moment you're working more pleasant. Normally it's hard to start the task, so if you give yourself nice reasons to start, you'll feel more motivated seeing your results later. Also, try to put your ideas on a paper sheet without worrying about details or fomat, just write your ideas, like brainstorming- once you have enough, then you proceed to organize them. Remember to take breaks, like...every 40 minutes you're working take a 20 minutes break- our brain normally only stays focused for 40-50 minutes, after that, quality begins to fall. If you get used to that, if you study 3 hours, you'll be having 1h of fun and 2h of peak produtivity, and that's way better than 5 hours of studying in pain without the proper attention. You can adjust the productivity/break proportion with time- as long as studying and working for you becomes something rewarding.
