Disclaimer - the information below provides my experience to help people who actually can't follow routines/

Throughout my whole life, I've been struggling with building routines and my school teachers often told me that I lack consistency and could achieve better results if I take my studies seriously. Yet, in reality, I couldn't be as consistent as many others and still can not stand routines as I quickly get bored, struggle with mental health problems and generally feel better with more spontaneous workflow. So here are my a bit odd tips on how to study if you can't do routines.

0/ Understand your goals and keep them realistic

write down things you working on this week/month/year. Keep the list short and realistic. Limiting the list to the bare minimum will reduce anxiety and everything out of it will seem like overwork. Base it on your current interests/goals/study program etc. If you have too much in your head schedule some of your goals for the next month so you can have more noticeable progress.

1/ Avoid strict to-do lists

weekly to-do lists work better as you can reschedule some tasks if you don't feel like working on them today.

2/ Doing at least something is better than doing nothing at all

I suggest not to push yourself into 2+ hours study/working sessions every day if it doesn't work for you. Instead, try to start without setting any time gaps and see how it goes. Even something related to your goal is better than nothing. Yet, if you feel motivated enough maybe you will do even more than you planned. But don't forget to take breaks!

3/ Make your work more enjoyable

better plan 1-2 side tasks to switch between so you don't get bored or fixated. This works even better if the tasks are connected to each other.

If you are learning a language your side tasks can be listening to music and learning the lyrics, practising Duolingo/memrise, journaling, watching you-tube on your target lang etc.

4/ Motivate yourself

external motivation is usually short term but can be used to gain confidence and achieve quick goals. Usually, I scroll through my Pinterest feed to inspire myself with cool references which I can use in my project. Inspirational movies/shows/study blogs work as well. Find what works for you

I hope you find it helpful 👀
