When was the last time you took a break from everything? Your life is filled with many distractions, yet you still look for more and more of them. These distractions are addicting at first but after a while they become tiring, you don't know when to stop or even how to stop.

Going monk mode is the solution to getting your life back on track and getting your mind in the right direction. Are you scared to put all of your distractions on a hold? Just know that when you go monk mode, it’s for the benefits in the future that will help you become a stronger and more mindful individual.

This doesn't only apply to school, but it also works for any situation in your life where you feel like you’re behind. In order to get ahead and be farther than you are right now, you have to recognize how behind you actually are. You’re not going to be happy with the place you’re in right now but once you give yourself some time to improve, you will forget about being in last place.

Knowing When to Go, Monk Mode

It can be hard to recognize when is the right time to go monk mode. If you feel like your life is going well and you’re progressing at a good pace, there’s probably no need for you to be in that mode.
