Demotivation: Recognize the Cause and How to Overcome It Have

 By: Yoga Indrawan

Have you ever felt tired and also lost your enthusiasm for doing something you used to

love? If you answered "yes," it means you are experiencing what is called

"demotivation." Demotivation is a feeling where we feel tired and lose enthusiasm and

cause a feeling of wanting to give up on doing a job.

Demotivation arises because you feel you can't do something optimally, be it work or

tasks that are already the responsibility of your friend. Demotivation can also be

caused by physical, mental, or emotional fatigue caused by excessive stress. When

stress is prolonged you will feel unmotivated to do something.

This demotivation can affect the quality of our work because when we are

demotivated, we can't do our work optimally because we don't feel enthusiastic about

doing it.

So what are the signs that we are demotivated?

Here are the signs you need to know:

• Isolating Yourself from the Environment

When someone is demotivated, they have no interest in socializing, even just doing

what they used to like, such as doing hobbies. So someone who is experiencing

demotivation will tend to ignore the surrounding environment.

•  Loss of Interest in Developing Yourself  

When a person is demotivated, he will also feel disinterested in doing certain things.

Because they are losing the enthusiasm to do it, for that, if you are demotivated, you

should take a break and return to doing it after you feel better.

• There is excessive fear.

Loss of initiative can also appear along with excessive fear in yourself that it can

eliminate your interest in developing yourself. Excessive feelings of anxiety can hinder you

because it makes you a pessimistic person.

    So what causes demotivation?

As explained earlier, the cause of demotivation consists of many factors, such as

physical, mental, or emotional fatigue caused by prolonged stress. This condition can

cause a person to lose motivation to do a job so that he looks not enthusiastic about

doing it.

The way to overcome this is to take a break from all kinds of routines, and let your body,

thoughts, and negative feelings go away. After feeling better then, you can run all these

routines.

Time Management Between Studying And Organization

         

        For those of you who are just entering Campus, of course you will be faced with the choice of being active in the organization or not, right?

        An organization is a unit consisting of parts in associations, etc. for certain purposes, as well as cooperative groups between people held to achieve common goals. Organizing can improve skills in many fields, even skills outside the field of college majors, broaden your horizons, expand your network of friends that can help you develop a career after graduating from college and work, hone your leadership spirit, train yourself to be able to solve problems easily, train soft skills that are needed in the world of work.

        Usually, the consideration of students who are not active in organizations is the fear of not being able to focus on college and eventually not graduating on time. Even though many students are organized but still graduate on time. The key to being able to graduate on time but still being able to organize is time management, in addition to making you able to keep your coursework and organization from being neglected, but also useful for making you still have free time to just relax during busy activities.

        Some tips for dividing your time between lectures and organizations that you can do:

1. Join organizations according to your interests and talents

        There will be many organizations that you will meet while in college. Do not be confused to choose an organization. Make sure that the organization you want to join is under the talents you have so that your abilities are honed.

2. Prioritize Lectures

        The main task of students is to study and study well. Try to keep up with the lecture process and always do your assignments seriously. Don't let your lectures be abandoned and your IP down just because you're too busy organizing. Don't forget to also avoid skipping class just because there are activities in the organization.

3. Create a daily schedule

        Create class schedules and organization. When making a schedule, determine your priorities. Prioritize lectures and do assignments. After that, adjust it to the schedule of your organization's activities. Also, enter the free schedule or free time in the schedule that you have created. You can use this free time to rest or use it for quality time with friends and family.

        You can make a schedule with google calendar or if you want to look more aesthetic you can use an acrylic planner from ECFL.MART (https://instagram.com/ecfl.mart?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=)

4. Flexible with schedule

        Even though you have made a schedule, there is nothing wrong with being a little flexible and not following the set schedule. Because being flexible with your schedule will keep you from stress and increase productivity, so you can follow the lecture process and carry out organizational tasks as well as possible.

5. Focus on doing one thing with the allotted time

        So that you can still graduate on time with satisfactory grades and the organizational activities you participate in are not neglected, try to focus on doing one thing at the allotted time. So that at another time that has been determined, you no longer think about the work that you haven't finished yet.

6. Get enough rest

        During the hectic activities that you do, try to keep enough rest by sleeping 7-8 hours every day. Because after all, adequate rest is beneficial to prevent stress and increase productivity. In addition, don't forget to keep exercising, meet your fluid needs by drinking water every day, and eating nutritious foods. Because this can be useful for improving your body's health, you stay healthy and actively do all your college assignments.

7. Know your abilities

        Everyone has their abilities and capacities. So, when you feel very tired and can no longer balance your time between lectures and organizations, it's a good idea to let go of one or two organizations that you are following. Because after all health and college is the most important thing.

        Doing lectures and organization at the same time does seem very tiring. However, if you follow the tips for dividing your time between lectures and organizations as above, then you will tend not to feel tired and always be enthusiastic about activities. After all, when you graduate from college and work, your college years and being active in organizations will be things you may miss.

This Memories ?

        

        Emptying the heart is a difficult choice. It's at the point that made me choose this path. At the moment, I think it is better never were to know—the point where I regret all my decisions. And in the end, I think it is better to lose memory than leave memories. Indeed, many say this is the risk of wanting to make love. But ironically, the error keeps repeating itself

        

        It's two years is a long time. But not long enough to treat the wound. Wounds that are just a little glance may open again. Even though these two people had walked in different directions, the black thread covered with blood still felt the wound. A brief incident that ushered in two years in tears. And making a choice to empty the heart is indeed the best choice.

An unexpected first meeting becomes the first point of a hollow journey. The end of December 2019 witnessed the first meeting that left scars. The sandy beach marks the beginning of the story. And the roar of the waves accompanied by the wind blowing became a loyal listener of the promises spoken.

      

         The initially beautiful journey became a lesson about the importance of looking ahead. A heartbreaking farewell that could not be guessed was the beginning of the tears that fell. All the sacrifices that finally no longer feel real are finally just pieces of memory that decorate life

After a painful separation, I am back to living my life and rising from all the strange feelings that enveloped my chest, binding the sweet memories that became my nightmares. No matter how bad it is, I have to rise, whether I'm resurrected as a human or a demon.

  

Practice Makes Perfect

By : Elsa

Hello, El here.

It's been a long time since I last greeted you. I hope you are well. I've been having a few mood swings lately that's kept me out of focus; I hope that doesn't happen to you. Usually, in a month, I can finish 2 to 3 books for me to read, but until the middle of this month, I even spent one chapter of the book I was reading.

I bought this book more than six months ago, but I haven't had time to read it because of my other list. I bought it on the recommendation of a former host on a private TV station that I often watch. He has a YouTube channel with two of his friends. On their YouTube channel, they discussed recommended book recommendations to read, and I was interested in one book title, Outliers. Outliers were written by Malcolm Gladwell, the same author of The Tipping Point and Blink.

Overview of Outliers books are books that tell stories with facts that will change how we understand success. I haven't finished my reading thoroughly. I've only read one of the ten chapters that exist with the addition of a few pages to the second chapter I've read. However, I stopped when I entered the third page of chapter two. As I read a few sentences in it, my brain suddenly reacted by linking one incident to another, and I couldn't continue my reading until I satisfied my wandering mind.

In chapter 2, with the subtitle The 10,000 Hour Rule, a sentence states that the closer psychologists examine the careers of the gifted, the less likely the role of innate talent is and the more significant the part of the practice. This book states that research conducted by K. Anders Ericsson, a psychologist, and his colleagues compared amateur and professional piano players. His study found a similar pattern at the Academy of Music about violinists divided into three groups. In his research on amateur and professional piano players, it was found that amateur piano players at the age of children practiced no more than 3 hours per week. By the age of twenty, they had practiced about two thousand hours. Professionals, on the other hand, increase their training time every year, and by the age of twenty, they have practiced ten thousand hours.

And, interestingly Ericsson and colleagues did not find 'natural musicians' but rather 'hard workers.' A person who practices more diligently, his talent will be honed to become a professional. Still, even if someone has extraordinary talent but does not practice, his talent is nothing. Like a saying, 'hard work will not betray the results.’ Success is not born instantly; of course, there is a forging practice in achieving it.

I became connected with the concept of this practice in my life, and when I was in high school, I majored in Natural Sciences with two math subjects, one compulsory math, and the other special math. I practice every day by doing math problems. Even when there are assignments, I will increase my study hours to get good grades and understand the material. However, in physical education lessons in the swimming section, I got the lowest score. After reviewing it, it turned out that because I did not practice optimally in swimming in 12 years of learning physical education, I still could not swim.

The same thing I found in language, speaking English is not a talent. Still, we need continuous practice with additional practice time to become a professional.

Wound

 By : Hicarawajiki

My romance says

There’s no love left

Swept away

 

Because of leaving

Which leaves scars

You seem to give hope

But in an instant you break

 

Where’s the promise you’ve reaped

Where’s the faithful that you cradle

Was it all just an illusion

Or a promise

What you gave

But I couldn’t get it

Nowhere

By : micheyetakata

Time never rest;

always on the move 

so beware 

if you are not aware 

it might slipped out from your grasp–

you lost time 

Then all at once, 

present become past 

future become present 

you become past 

he become present 

us no longer exists 

Pile of dreams shattered 

into dust and nowhere to be

found, nowhere to be 

reminisced, nowhere 

I can find you again, nowhere–

we lost and vanished 

together with the time
