    Does anyone else find it impossible to do work during the holidays? does anyone have any advice on getting started/motivated?

    I'll find any excuse not to start!

    Thanks for the help!!

    Have you done your mocks yet? If so i'd say take a break, relax and enjoy the midterm. You can study next week and take it easy until then. If your mocks are coming up and you need this week to study then just get rid of all distractions and just start. It'll be hard but you'll get used to it and make sure you take breaks but not for too long!

    Sorry but it rather humourousssssssssss... Guessing thomas is your last name and your not just sharing this profile with your brother.:)


    I think this post epitomises my work ethic! What a random and ridiculous conversation!

    Ive two to do after the mid term!

    So i guess i could do a bit of both. i.e. study a tiny bit but rest the rest of the time!(ha get it?)

    Here's what motivate me:
    If I start now I have less to cram at May :D.

    Seriously though it's hard to get motivated... I did 2 hours of study at 11pm the last two nights (weird time I know...) and indulge myself with the heater on with cheaper night electricity. I'm quite proud of myself by doing that little bit since it's the earliest that I've started studying in a holiday.

    Yeah I do that too. I gave up telling myself that this time around and actually did some work as a result :p. Just go now and read one sentence from a random textbook. That's Some work done today :D

    It's the only way you are going to get started, stop talking about it and do it :).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭unknown13


    Studying during holidays sucks everyone knows that but it is only a week and their is only Easter left. So 3 weeks of you studying during holidays isn't going to kill you compared to the annoyed feelings after you don't get your course. Go to the a local library if you are having difficulties studying that might help


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 231 ✭✭pfannkuchen


    Doing study at school for the week, 10am-1pm. It's great because for the rest of the day, I can do whatever I want :)

    That sounds good but I have problems studying like that so it wouldn't be of much use to me.

    I have mocks the week I come back.

    There is my motivation!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 635 ✭✭✭grrrrrrrrrr


    I suppose least in the library there'll be no lap top!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 829 ✭✭✭zam


    If you've just done your mocks take a break. This is like a last hurrah!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 311 ✭✭H2student


    nah I'm doing work because I did badly in the mocks :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 318 ✭✭The___________

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 318 ✭✭The___________


    Ha I had a bit of a hangover to contend with on Sunday morning :D
    As soon as I finished the study I started a marathon texting session to sort out what actually happened on Sat night.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 635 ✭✭✭grrrrrrrrrr


    ha this thread had more of a negative than positive efeect!! just been coming on boards more because of it! maybe i should just try get banned or something... ha cock


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 311 ✭✭H2student


    grrr(don't have time counting the Rs :P), go to your room, take out everything fun(mobile phones, laptops etc.) out of it and get your parents to lock the door from the outside. Just make sure you have school work in there. Do this for 3 hours, you'll do at least ten minutes of work that way :D.

    parents are at work!! could i lock it myself now and throw the key out the window?? then get my parents to find it at six when they come home??? ha.

    Should i take the bed out too??

    and there is 10 Rs FYI... its easy to just hit the R button 10 times!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 311 ✭✭H2student


    Hah okay grrrrrrrrrr, throwing out the bed sounds good :P. Maybe take a nap now, then wake up at midnight. Then use my advice and get your parents to let you out in the morning :P.

    Poker?? what a waste of time, unlike me, watched the complete series one of alan partridge and father ted today!! wooo


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 311 ✭✭H2student


    I would do that, but I only just rewatched all three seasons of Father Ted during the Christmas break xD

    Don't waste time thinking about my name and just do some study. I wish I can do that myself. Maybe I'll leave it until 11pm.

    With that said we were in school on Monday and Tuesday. Not that bad since we only get 3 days off for ever midterm thingie.

    I think you know inside if you need to study or not.. If you dont, make a timetable and SEE the time you have left and ask yourself, can I afford to leave it? I think you know you should but dont want to, so you come on here in the desperate hope that someone will say "oh leave it, caus Im not doing anything".. But hey Im no Freud ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 635 ✭✭✭grrrrrrrrrr


    About 9 hours until school and i'm doing a weeks worth of study in one night.... wooooooooooo LC
