So it’s been 3 days since my last babypips lesson, although i completed one today, I feel like i’m beginning to procrastinate more and more, Every lesson seems more like a chore to do and i’m just wasting times on things that don’t matter

Sounds like learning about trading isn’t a passion for you. You make it seem as though it’s a chore or a job. It will always be low priority until you find the learning part enjoyable.

Everything do matter in FOREX trading,might not seem like it but they all do. Some are lessons in terms of mistakes etc.

Take your time, and never rush things. And if you really want this, remove the word “chore”., enjoy every part of it.

But the problem is how do I make it enjoyable, I actually really want to pursue forex as a passion, but this problem is always there of procrastinating even if it isn’t forex, I just don’t know how I can really break free from this habit
Discipline — trust me, I have read lot of books on discipline, but it’s hard and tough thing to do. But you just have to do it.

Firstly, the best option for you is to forget words like procrastination and other psychological terms, simply give up on psychology and the problem of procrastination will disappear. But your main problem is that you don’t see a way to achieve your goal… Perhaps you want to trade on the forex market and want to make money, to be free in the end, but you don’t see the results and don’t see how studying what you’ve read will help you at all. You yourself are unlikely to be able to answer this question because you have not clearly described your situation… People are not able to see their mistakes because if they were able to, they would have achieved what they wanted long ago. As for your interest in trading, you probably have a bad strategy that is causing you losses, and you are tired of listening to fairy tales about technical analysis and psychology because it doesn’t work.

By sticking to learning forex trading especially through the babypips forex education you are setting an important foundation for your trading journey and career. The feeling of procrastination would eventually give way to gratitude when you face the markets. Do not forget that learning is an endless journey. Be disciplined to see it through because you will need more of that discipline in the market environment.

I have never procrastinated on things I wanted to do; I only procrastinated on things I didn’t want to do, like knowing the dishes needed washing and I would say I would do them tomorrow, but sometimes tomorrow turns into 2-3 days. When it came to forex, I was up and ready to learn more so I could get to trading real money.

been there. it takes time
That feeling is normal when the initial excitement fades and learning starts to feel slow. Try breaking your study time into smaller sessions, maybe one short lesson a day, and follow it with chart practice so it feels more active. Set a clear goal, like finishing one topic each week, and reward yourself when you hit it.
If you are bored, mix things up by watching real chart examples or backtesting what you have learned instead of just reading. The goal is progress, not speed. Small consistent steps build far more skill than pushing through long, tiring sessions.
Procrastination hits, but just break the lessons into small chunks. Focus on one thing at a time. Stay consistent, even if it’s just a little bit each day.
Some days feel like a grind and nothing sticks. Keep at it, even just 5 minutes counts.
that means you rather learn from market rather than books,just start trading then
