Being lazy ....

How do you guys stay focused for long hours? I have to stay all night up to study for the DAT because during the day, my siblings are very loud and so much drama is going on. After 3-4 hours of studying in the morning around 3 or 4 am, I start to feel tired and sleepy and when I put my head down for a while the next thing I know 😴 its time for breakfast. The library is far away for me and so is my university. Because of staying all night up, I am getting huge dark circles around my eyes.

I would like to know how you guys don’t get bored or lazy. How do you stay focused?

What are your tricks of staying focused and not being lazy?

Thanks 🙂

I actually eat a sucker or some candy- it helps me stay awake! Sometimes it is nice to take 5 minute breaks to do something else besides read!

I CAN'T stay focused. 😀 So that's why I walk around the house, and find small house-chores to do (5-10 mins long), since I'm not doing anything (ie. wash the dishes in the sink, take out the trash, help my mom out with her bills) and then back to studying.

On weekdays, I'm at work 8am to 7pm, and by the time I get home (11pm-12am), shower, I'm too exhausted to do anything. Hence, at work, during my little breaks, I whip out my notecards or something. Sounds really dorky, but I've only started doing this, and everyone else here seems to encourage my studying, so it's all good. The laziness factor definitely comes into play, but keep focused and eat a banana or something for energy.

Good luck. 😎

How old are your little ones? Are you working full-time too? Do you have someone to babysit for you doing the day for a couple of hours. Maybe a "Mothers day" daycare? Try breaking up your study time here and there during the day. Example: kids nap time. give you a little bit of time to study. I agree with Steph notecards and Blends ideas I have used and still do. To bad I can't work on my own teeth when I become a dentist with all the hard candy that I eat. I also go for walks (excercise) its great also helps you think clearer. I know it's not easy. Been there and done that already.

i know EXACTLY how you feel. i cant stay focused for that long either. i think ive gained so much weight from all the candy and chocolate i eat while im studying. i should try some fruits next time.

for me.. its just all about determination. i think about what i need to get done to get where i wanna be. and if it means stayin up all night studying. then so be it. my friends thought i was crazy for not sleeping for 3 days during finals. but hey. i needed those As. so i did what i had to do.

keep saying to yourself "it will all be worth it in the end."
