Can't get myself on a study schedule anymore

Since having my son I've not managed to study anything. I've started course after course and can't get them finished. He's 3 now and was hoping he'll be going to nursery but now he's home with a cold, second time in a month. I've set an exam for 2nd of November but that won't happen as I've not done enough. I can't get a consistency in what I'm doing.
Now the house looks like a mess and everything is on hold until my son gets better. I'm so frustrated because I'm thinking I should do more but the reality is that I'm so tired.

What is it you want to study - and what’s your aim?

Honestly you shouldn’t judge yourself too harshly; we do go through phases in life when things seem more difficult, we lack motivation or we can’t get much done.

Is your tiredness explicable or is it worth seeing your GP? All sorts of manageable conditions can cause this symptom, so do check. You can’t study effectively if you don’t keep on top of your health.
