So how do you get yourself into studying mode?

When you know you have to study, when you have the time to study, but you just can't seem to focus while studying or even better, get yourself to study...

How do you guys do it?

uh well I usually sit around for a few hours putting it off until i realize how little time i have left and this terrifies me into a furious frenzy of studying for a little while

Same here. Key words: little while. After about two minutes of intense studying, my mind wanders off to anything and everything that is not related to what I'm supposed to be "studying" 🙂

Google Calender is a good tool to keep track of a student's study schedules.

Trick myself into ending up in the Library w/o my computer. I end up too lazy to walk back to my apartment and study for hours! 😀

I go to the library...when I see other people studying then that encourages me to study. I cant study at home...I get distracted. gotta remind myself of the goal over and over again. ha

no matter how much i study. i always give myself friday off from any kind of studying.

My problem is not so much starting the studying. My problem is that I study with the t.v on and the computer on, sometimes necessarily of course, and get distracted really easily. I need to build a study dungeon or something that is sealed from the outside world.

Ditto. At home I get either distracted or lonely, both of which are not conducive to being productive.

You should also consider finding a study buddy (kind of like a workout buddy), to keep you accountable for your studying. And maybe consider efficiency over time spent studying...I can spend forever studying and get nothing out of it, apparently.

I think of family members with lupus...and the 4.0 I don't have.😳

That's a good idea. I depend on Google for almost everything else...

I remind myself that I'm the best most smartest person in the world and that I need to live up to my reputation
