it's not a studyblr, but I use
habitica.com to keep track of my daily tasks (and with the settings fiddled with it makes a good predictable-routine study aid)
I feel a bit like social media-based study aids might be a trap lol, I know I'd not be able to keep to topic easily, but they have social groups based on that sort of thing as well
insofar as procrastination, maybe more generalized procrastination aids are where to start looking?
I used to run anxiety groups that actually dealt a lot with procrastination because it's a big root cause (and also result, it chicken-and-eggs) of anxiety
and what helps me (I suffer from it a lot too despite being the person running the show there) is chunking down tasks into manageable bites
like, I'm talking so small you can do them by -accident- if that's what you need to do, and don't feel stupid about needing to do it that way
and keeping a little journal of what you've -done-, to that ends
so you have a tangible record that you have made progress, no matter how small it is
and your brain can't convince you that you're doing nothing
and once you've already -started the thing- it's almost always easier to continue doing the thing than it is when you're staring down a blank page like it's gun barrels of your firing squad
also, if it's an essay/notes you can't start, or a piece of creative writing:
a blank screen is -kryptonite- for me!
so do like, 5 minutes of freewriting on the topic or even just on nothing in particular
it doesn't have to be good but it does have to be -there- because it breaks the 'how the heck do I start' mental blockade that can form
you've got something down, you've put words to paper, the dam has broken
and even if it's absolute rubbish that's what the second draft is for
... I hope that helps
