My motivation before was mostly a problem only because I had so many things to do and my mental health issues made time management hard. Now, my mental health is so bad that it is difficult to find motivation even for a single task due the next day. Sometimes, it takes until the due date for me to have the mental energy to even start.
I have to spend 100% more time studying and combing the material to write my essays because I am on my own. Study time was about 6-8hrs a week with in-class, but is now at least 16hrs, sometimes as much as 24hrs per week, with online. Perhaps this is making me a better philosopher, but due to limitations of time I literally spend all of my waking hours either working or doing homework, and a lot of the menial tasks I would do on weekends don’t get done now.
