Hello everyone I recently took some time off from qc due to a family vacation but i am back now and i am having a really hard time getting my motivation back. how do you keep your motivation up? Also any suggestions on how i can set up a schedule for myself just to personally have due dates for myself? One last thing how does everyone study/ take notes I am having a very hard time with this and I would just like some guidance.
I know this is alot of questions but thank you all in advance for you suggestions.
