    Heya, so, the JC's in just over 2 weeks now and I've been studying a good bit but feel like I'm not giving it 100% and constantly have other things on my mind (playing console games)
    I was just wondering how I can get it off my mind until the JC is over?

    I had similar problems with my phone earlier in the year and I found personally the best way was to put whatever was distracting me beyond use.

    Now, I don't mean destroy, but I took my phone, put the sim-card into an older, less distracting, but still fully operational Nokia. Then I ran the battery dead in the android, put that in a cupboard at one end of the house and the phone itself at the other end of the house.

    Looking at the paragraph, it was a bit over-the-top but it worked for me. Could something similar be done with a console?

    Just my (extremist:pac:) thoughts

    What about my laptop? Need it for all my notes you see, then I get preoccupied with something else for like 2 hours.
    Console isn't too much of an issue because I cancelled my online membership.

    You can get a site blocker on your laptop or simply turn off the WiFi connection:)

    I need to just not have my laptop full stop.
    Best solution is to probably print out my stuff but dunno how I can do that.

    Have you had it like that all year? I'd DIE, my phone is the bane of my life

    Study in a quiet place without any distractions and give all unnecesary items such as your phone and console to your parents
