I feel more drawn to almost anything except the books which teacher recommends me and every time, I rely on AI to summarize things for me and it is affecting me badly but I just cannot make myself read those books. Anything that feels necessary to me lose its importance in my sight and I try to avoid those things. Back in the days, I was doing undergrad with a different major but I did not get it and wanted to go to my current major. And now when I am in my current major (CS major, previously doing Electronics Engineering), I have lost interest in that field too. I have many books downloaded to read and many quizzes and exams to attempt but thing is I just don’t feel attracted to those books. Those books feel dry to me and boring as well.

    The CS books are boring, mostly. I was lucky in that I loved everything about the major- but working on actual code problems is where the joy has always been for me. Any other required book, in any other course? Nope.

    The odd thing that worked for me was a comfortable chair (proper lazy boy) and isolating the world and distractions. Classical music pumped in via proper buds/cans- but not piano, and nothing with vocals. I had to make that book my whole world.

    Its an ADHD thing I think… I’ve also since learned the phrase “structured procrastination,” so maybe look into that term.
