It’s difficult to go from being extrinsically motivated to intrinsically. I would say this is good advice. Put yourself in a position where it is easy to succeed.
This means making and following a schedule for yourself, including a bedtime, a time to do your homework, and time to relax and unwind.
Make these ‘hard rules’ and track your streaks of good habits. I do the same thing foggy does, I have a rule that I must show up to every class, sit in the front center and keep my phone put away.
I also try to set aside half an hour every day to take a walk or meditate. If you haven’t yet, seek out a therapist. Find a place or a (willing) person to talk about your day, your goals, and your progress.
And most importantly: remember, you are the one who knows yourself best, you get to choose and implement your own strategy to take control of your life. It will only work if you make it work. You got this.
