Pick a day and before going to sleep the night before, just tell yourself, "I'll enjoy my own company". When you wake up, do your morning stuff, make coffee or tea or whatever, and read a book while sitting in the sun. Turn the internet off from your phone and Chuck it away in some different room. If you get bored, allow that boredom. Do a personal project or just go to sleep. If you have work then do it or just sleep. Don't allow yourself to be bothered by trivial things. That's what I do atleast

Try not to completely give into depression and let everything in your life go. If you have an LSAT coming up and need a job, maybe you just need to prioritize one to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Having a singular focus is really helpful because it’s less overwhelming and confusing. And making some sacrifices is better than burning out and failing everything. Can the job possibly wait? If not, I would say its really helpful to create a schedule for yourself. You’ll see that you can get a lot done in a day and still have tons of scheduled time to relax and rot in bed. But remember that rotting in bed feels soo much better when you know you spent some time making your life better. Doing nothing will make your day feel empty and meaningless. And it gets harder to get out of because you get used to it. Even spending an hour on a goal is an accomplishment. Even if you spent 10 hours on your phone, and one hour on a goal, in a year you would have way more going for you than if you spent all day on your phone. Most people are awake for 16 hours, so you could spend 8 hours being productive and still have around 8 hours to relax in bed. Schedule your day so you get a lot of relaxing breaks, so work doesn’t feel so painful. Stick to a predictable schedule. Make sacrifices in any areas that aren’t a priority. Like definitely say no to plans you don’t have time/energy for. And don’t see days that don’t work out as a failure. Like I said, even if you spent 10 hours in bed, just get 1 hour in and count that day as a success. Then you can at least say to yourself that the day couldve been worse. Don’t wait for yourself to have more energy, just use the small amount of energy you have because it kind of regenerates itself and the more productive you feel the more energized you’ll feel. I also recommend taking as many not destructive substances as necessary to get yourself going like even something like drinking more coffee than usual can give you that initial boost. And antidepressants can really help if you think you might be depressed and aren’t on them already

1. don't try to do something demanding ( difficult books, classes, etc) bc you are probably tired and it will be stressful. respect your body. i like to watch tv. it has to be cable tv or something, not streaming, because streaming demands choosing. if you go for streaming, watch the first recomendation of the first list you can find. avoid choosing ANYTHING.
2. if the thing you are doing is boring, let it go immediately and try something else. you don’t have to spend a certain amount of time on a task. drop it.
3. take a shower

Take a day and put the fast paced endless doom scroll to bed and do something to practice your focus. read a book, focus on a craft, spend it in nature, etc etc etc

It's not in our hands sometimes but it's not cool to be surrounded by people who don't take anything seriously

Y'all ever write a word and suddenly it looks wrong? Like, the word just looks unusual. Then you cross it out and write it again but it's still the same cause the spelling is right but it looks so wrong! And so you repeat, but it remains the same and at that point you're agitated! What the actual fuck is wrong with me!
And so you just ignore it and continue writing but it still bothers you. You look in the dictionary and the spelling is still the same and the word still looks wrong and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.
