The "I Can't Do This Anymore" Feeling
You stare at the textbook. The words are blurry. You feel heavy, hopeless, and physically exhausted. You assume you've studied too hard.
You're probably wrong.
The High Cost of Context Switching
Psychologists have found that "burnout" in students is rarely caused by the cognitive load of studying itself. The human brain loves learning. It thrives on solving problems.
What kills the brain is Task Switching.
Every time you switch from a math problem (high focus) to a notification (passive consumption) and back, your brain pays a "metabolic tax." Do this 50 times a day, and you are bankrupt by 4 PM.
Ace Lock as an Energy Saver
When you block your phone with Ace Lock:
- 1. You Stop the Leaks: You eliminate the micro-decisions ("should I check?") that drain your battery.
- 2. Flow State: Once you are in deep work for 20+ minutes, studying actually becomes *energizing*. It's the starting and stopping that hurts.
How to Actually Recover
If you are burned out, "resting" by scrolling TikTok is the worst thing you can do. It continues to drain your dopamine receptors.
True Rest Principles:
- 1. Low Stimulation: Sleep, walk, stare at a wall.
- 2. Single Tasking: Cook a meal. Clean your room. Do one thing at a time.
- 3. Hardcore Block: Use Ace Lock even during your break time to prevent accidental scrolling.
The Counter-Intuitive Cure
The cure for study burnout isn't necessarily "less studying." It's "cleaner studying."
Eliminate the noise. Protect your energy.
