They feel bad about it, regret it as time passes, yet remain stuck in that very state. I\u2019ve experienced this firsthand, and it\u2019s a terrible feeling\u2014knowing all the things you need to do, all the things you could be doing, yet feeling almost paralyzed. You don\u2019t move.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: cambo,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">I\u2019ve tried numerous study hacks and techniques, but I would often find myself right back where I started within days.

You\u2019ve essentially fed your brain junk and then expect it to perform like it\u2019s perfectly nourished.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: cambo,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">I won\u2019t dwell on why these over-stimulating habits are detrimental to our brains\u2014this is self-explanatory. I\u2019ve only mentioned an example to bring awareness to how these habits directly impact your productivity.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: cambo,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">A quote that inspired me to write this piece says:<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: cambo,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u201cWe must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is that discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.\u201d \u2014 Jim Rohn<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: cambo,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Without discipline, life inevitably leads to regret. Generally, those who lack discipline in their lives are often lazy and have no goals. (No offense.) They let life pass by day after day without feeling the immediate pain of discipline, only to be crushed by the weight of regret later on.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: cambo,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">To accomplish anything meaningful, you need discipline\u2014whether it\u2019s a little or a lot. It almost always requires doing something you don\u2019t necessarily want to do, at a moment you don\u2019t want to do it. It can be painful in the moment, but that\u2019s the essence of discipline.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: cambo,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Think of self-discipline as a skill you need to master if you truly want to achieve your goals. Don\u2019t see it as a temporary fix for a temporary course; make it part of who you are. Be a disciplined person. This message is not for those looking to tick off a quick task\u2014it\u2019s for those with big goals, who are committed to long-term self-improvement.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: cambo,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The reason I emphasize self-discipline, especially in the context of harmful habits that hinder our studies (like mindlessly scrolling), is because it\u2019s the key to breaking those habits. Use self-discipline to transform your entire life, eliminate toxic habits, and watch your study habits improve. Setting big goals gives us the opportunity to change ourselves for the better, because to reach those goals, we must change.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: cambo,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">You cannot expect to achieve the results of true change while continuing to live the same way.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: cambo,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Start by addressing your faults. What habits do you frequently engage in that are useless? Reflect on them and write them down. Then, work on eliminating them.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: cambo,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Next, create a plan. How can you improve your life? Maybe it\u2019s adjusting your sleep schedule, specifying your goals, or dedicating an hour a day to reading.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: cambo,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Finally, execute your plan. Follow through on what you\u2019ve committed to. The more consistently you do this, the more motivated you\u2019ll become to continue.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: cambo,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">It won\u2019t be easy at first, but that\u2019s where self-discipline comes in. Keep at it, and you will become a better version of yourself. The reason we strive to maintain these habits and make them a way of life is because of our ultimate goal\u2014especially as students of the Deen. Our goal is to serve our religion, to please our Creator, and to follow the example of the Beloved Prophet \ufdfa. Our work is never truly done; there is always more to do, whether before or after graduation, because our efforts are not for a certificate\u2014they are for fulfilling our life\u2019s purpose.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: cambo,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">As a final point, mastering the skill of self-discipline is not just for students; it is essential for every Muslim. The way our religion teaches us to live requires discipline\u2014whether it\u2019s praying salah on time, fasting, or resisting the evil whispers of Shaytan. These acts often involve a battle with the nafs. The more you oppose your nafs, the weaker it becomes, ultimately strengthening your iman and good practices.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why You Are Still Lazy Many students find themselves trapped in a cycle of laziness.
