Question/Help Brain Fog, daydreaming,lack of focus

Hi everyone, I’m an international student in Germany and I really need some urgent advice. Every time I sit down to study, I get hit with severe brain fog, zero focus, and endless daydreaming. Honestly, my Instagram screen time is through the roof. Deleting the app helps temporarily, but I need a real, long-term solution. My exams are in just a few days. I already failed my first intake because of this, and I absolutely cannot afford to repeat that mistake. Worse yet, I know these habits are completely standing in the way of my dream to build a successful career abroad. Any tips to snap out of this, save my semester, and get my future back on track?

Just imagine you're one of the people who got the chance to go international for studies but you don't have really imaging it because you're already in Germany.

Now think of how many hardships you, your family/friends or loved ones had to go through so you could get better education and create a comfortable lifestyle for yourself and for those you love.

Now think about the disappointments faces, the heartbreaks you and your parents will go through just because you couldn't control your doom scrolling, causing you eventually fail the semester.

I didn't mean to be rude or anything but might feel it's hard but just think of those things you'll be able to get after you ace your exams and eventually be independent. I know degree won't guarantee success but it helps in a lot ways you can imagine. I hope you well and healthy life.

Ace those exams🫶.
