Can't Focus: Going Father Down the Rabbit Holes

[NolaRice]

It took me about 5 years to get started as well, with many false starts. I spent a lot of time researching and planning as a form of procrastination. I tried SL first, but I had a hard time with their platform and had multiple technical issues so I ended up giving up without finishing a single class there. Then I did some of the free classes (Sophia/Institutes). Then I tried Modern States, intending to CLEP afterwards. But I got stuck because I felt like it was taking forever, and I had no idea how much information would actually be on the exam, and it felt endless.

What changed everything for me was trying Study.com. Being able to see exactly where I was in the class ("47/123 quizzes completed!") was super, super helpful in keeping momentum. I knew exactly how much was left to do. And with each lesson only being 5-10 minutes long, it was really easy to fit them in. I only wish I had started there first.

I procrastinated a lot too. Study.com was a game changer in me finishing my BACS and BALS psychology. The format really kept me on track. I don't think I would have graduated without SDC honestly.
