Naturally the mind diverges and looks for something more entertaining. <\/p>\n<p>To find a way around this, try to make a game plan. Meaning the game plan will consist of thesis writing as well as enjoyment time, once you\u2019ve done a small part of the task at hand. This way you are able to reward yourself for doing part of the thesis work. <\/p>\n<p>It is important to reward yourself appropriately for the amount of work completed as this will keep you moving forward.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ortwin X. try the app forest. if you check your phone while on the app itll say your trees dying and wont let you go on social media. if you have a macbook try selfcontrol it blocks you from social media Manuella I.
