I really like this post. Before, I just knew that sometimes I “didn’t feel like studying”, and that was that. Silly, but that’s the nature of a thoughtless mistake. Now, I have a specific concept and taxonomy for these failure modes, and you suggested good ways of combating them. Thanks for writing this!
What pissed me most about this “I don’t want to study” is that I usually choose my topics because I find them exciting. So why wouldn’t I want to study them? This frustration then led me to think about curiosity-stoppers.
