What's your motivation to get things done? I should be studying for my 2 midterms tomorrow, but here I am posting and going to digg at the same time.

Brilliant.

Are you actively trying to be a fucking spastic?

Or can't you help it?

I don't ignore anybody, mate. True story.

I've got a rule about that.

No point. The financial world is collapsing and only a matter of time before it gets worse before it gets better. :cry:

After looking at a bunch of motivational posters, i got some motivation to finish. They work! :lol:

Honestly, when I studied I allowed myself a wank every 4 pages of A4 I learnt. It must have worked because I got As :yup:

But what about the chafing ? :O Or are you a slow reader.............

I am a exceptionally slow studier. But you adapt it to your personal limitations. I found 4 pages quite a good work/wank balance, but others might like to do fewer or more.

If you learn things whilst in a state of arousal, do you have to get back into that state to remember them again? :blink:

(Like if you do things whilst drunk you only remember them when you are drunk again.)

That could make examination rooms fairly unpleasant places to be in.

Well, not for the perpetually wanking students, obviously.

Anyway, I guess science has the answer.

I have a feeling you're not taking my suggestion seriously, Barbie :smilie4:

Another thing that motivated me was writing a timetable of revision times for the subjects and sticking to it. If you try to chop and change what you're studying it keeps your brain from getting bored. And let yourself have say, 10 minutes off for every hour of revision. Walk about a bit, have a breather, a cuppa, surf the webby or whatever. Pretty soon you'll feel so proud of yourself for exercising self control you'll want to study.

Well, if you can't keep this balance for too many hours then maybe this can be a second wind motivation

I don't know man, I even tried changing the code around the link

I looked to try to find how to post pictures, and I can't get it to work yet

How can I do it without it being a thumbnail?
