How the heck to stay focused...

[czech09]

So for about the past month I haven't done jack in terms of studying etc. My grades are so so...Organic Chem = C and Physics 2 = C all that = not good. Only one week until finals so I need to get my stuff together. Anyone have any helpful hints as to how to stay focused when studying...? Or how to make yourself study lol?

One time in college I really tried hard at staying focused by doing... Oh wow, I'm hungry, whats a good quick snack that I can make?

Ok how to make yourself study? Have a buddy. Or brag to someone about your l33T skillz on a particular subject. THat will make you afraid when you have a test, and you will go on to study. Bragging to your GF or a girl you have a huge crush on always works

add this line to your HOSTS (WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC) file.

1. Find a place where you only study.
2. Eliminate distractions
3. Establish a schedule: study for 45 minutes and take a 15 minute break.

Go for a study montage as per the movies. Put on some high-energy, enthusiastic music and flick through pages in a book. Jot some stuff onto a sheet of paper, and once you've finished flicking through the book, high-five someone. You'll do fine.
