Concentration issues

LegacyUser

In the grand scheme of things this is probably a relatively minor problem. But I am just putting it out there in the hope someone can throw some advice my way to help me.

I am in my final year of a college course that absolutly bores me to tears. I had a pretty tough year last year in it, as a lot of things went wrong for me and it was only through some extraordinary exceptions on the colleges behalf that I actually got through to this year.

Now I honestly would like to come out of this course with a reasonably good mark for my fours years, but I find it so difficult to concentrate on any study and find my focus. I feel like any work I do wont be good enough anyways, and ontop of this, as I have said I'm not even that interested in the subject. It is a good course and one of the few that seems to still have a good few employment opportunites out there as I am coming out of it with a skill, but I just don't know how to get myself together and work. I probably just deserve a good slap, but does anybody have any advice for me on some good work ethic and approach to what I am doing. Cheers.

Motivation. You can choose negative or positive ( i prefer positive but that's just me)

Positive: Draw out a list of what you can do when you leave college, You can transfer to another course and get a job that you might like. Perhaps it frees you up to move away. There are financial benefits from finishing a course. A qualification can open many doors (and not just in job hunting)

Make a list of what you need to get done and reward yourself in small ways and by looking at what you'll accomplish when you do. Find a partner (friend/relation etc) that you can work through the list with that can ask you from time to time how you're doing.

Find something interesting about your course that you can concentrate on. Perhaps research some debt that isn't being taught in the course that relates to what you're into and try looking at the rest of the course through that light
