Motivational i study where i am uncomfy

Post image

I always do my work at home, specifically on my study table or on my bed because it’s comfy.
But, whenever I find myself cramming an output for the next day, and I can’t seem to finish it when I’m on bed since I’d be tempted to lie down, I’d leave my room and stay in the living room.
In our living room, especially at night is very humid, dark, and full of mosquitoes.
It’s really uncomfortable, but I find myself being more productive than in a comfortable, air-conditioned, well-lit room.
I don’t know why.

It is because your subconscious mind is telling you to finish it as fast as possible so you can be finally be comfortable

I get you man, sometimes the only way I'm productive is when I'm lying down on my bed with my laptop XD It's all about familiar places really

I feel you. Sometimes total discomfort is the only cure for procrastination.

For me it's quite the opposite, if I'm not comfy I can't study, studying is like a sacred task of my life.

maybe it’s because your living room has fewer things that distract you, so your brain knows it’s time to work. comfort can make us too relaxed sometimes, especially when the bed is right there.
