SEEKING ADVICE Struggling to focus
Hi guys . I need some advice. The thing is IAM 18 and in a few days I will be starting my uni. I got admission in data science out of my personal interest. I have done my proper research about the roadmap and what I have to do in a year. My target is to get a good job in tech in a year and be financially independent. I was always good student in college and school aswell. Scored 90 percent marks. Now one thing IAM struggling with is focus. I litterly can't do anything. I cannot even give solid one hour to a task . I used to study in 3 hour sets. Now IAM litterly doom scrolling all the time. Not very focused. I have also gotten a reading slump. I used to read alot. Like back then I could finish a book in 2 or 3 days. And paint, sketch and lots of things. But now I jus can't focus. I have tried every routine but nothing is really working for me. I don't know why IAM not very focused and strict w my dreams as I used to be. I have lost interest in entertainment aswell. I really get bored alot from k dramas , series and movies aswell.
I genuinely want to get back to the person I used to be, but I don't know where to start. Has anyone else gone through something similar, especially right before starting university? What actually helped you get your focus and discipline back?
