I give myself time to unwind and relax, and set a time for when i'm going to begin homework/study. That usually works for me.

If its a really strenuous day then I have an extra long relaxation time.

I try and remind myself that exams are in 8 weeks. That usually works. Or it used to, until recently...

Play a few hours of games (and nothing else). After the session, I get some motivation. (I don't surf the net if I plan to do work because it's endless).

Just imagine the pain you will feel if all of your best friends get higher enter scores than you. Usually works for me.

Whenever I lose motivation (which occurs much too frequently for my liking), I look at a sign on my cork board that reads:

"  Ideal ENTER: _ _._ _
   Ideal COURSE: ________

   Every day I lose, another student gains. "

Slightly extreme, but definitely motivational in those dark, dark times :)

ENTER: 98.85

If it's been a terrible day, just do a few small tasks. Find quotes for English. Work on a summary/cheat sheet. Do a few textbook questions.

Just make sure that you have enough time to relax. After all, your health is far more important than one night of study.

I think about my parents owning me D:


...just kidding. I just read the textbook or something and convince myself that by reading the textbook passively without doing qns or notes is still a form of study. Then try and move on from there.

I just think "oh, i better get this done or else i'll be behind everyone else

or, "i'll just do a few qns now, and be ahead of everyone in that class"
