It’s Monday and I have zero motivation to work, watching random reels and not working. I start my work and then immediately pick up my phone. What do I do?

Set yourself a deadline. F*ck around on your phone for 45 minutes, then put it across the room and work for 30. Plug your charger in on the other side of your office space and tell yourself you can't use it again until you've worked for one hour. Try romanticizing your morning routine, fill it with things that make you feel good (your favorite drink, time to make a breakfast you love, time to sit on the couch and scroll), and don't start work until you've completed that ritual in the morning. These are all things I try, I still don't feel great on Monday mornings but it helps.

This is exactly what I have to do in order to get work done. And don't pick up your phone.

I've been using a lock timer on my phone. It helps with the distractions of notifications and endless social media scrolling.

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.
The number of the alumni and current students that go to top consulting firms FT& summer intern are countless even for a small class size.
Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.

Did I act irrationally here? I had an initial consultation with a therapist the other day to get a referral to a psychiatrist for BD + ADHD.

Do I just tell the other provider I'm no longer interested?
