Can't focus/study ARRGGHH

is it computer work you've to do? or just general book work?

computer work:
create a new profile on your computer, no shortcuts to games, internet explorer, or anything other than Word or excel or whatever you need. It's the little tempting distrations that get ya, trust me.

Book work:
lists are good, take your course from the top down, identify the different areas, pick one, break that down to it's area. write down what you know about this area for 2 minutes on a piece of paper. discard after 2 minutes.

get book and writing material. go at it for 25 minutes, taking note of page and major points made in your writing material. after 25 minutes, get another pieces of throw away paper and write down words or phrases related to the topic. in theory you should know alot more "key" words and phrases.

that should give you a confidence boost. take a 5 minute break, do 2-3 of these sessions before a major break of 30-45 minutes. it's a formal study plan I paid good money for years ago.

I'm a procrastinator much like yourself, but this works a treat. it's the instant gratification you need. right, this is the only post you need read. no checking back for other answers, this is the best one you'll get! :-p lol, but seriously. GTFO.

jesus, don't blow your uni course. honestly. request a temporary ban, hang up your mod boots for a few weeks or somethin. How are you going to get back to Cali without a nice well paid graduate job.
