I am so lazy today and don't really have the mood to read my book.

How do you make yourself always in the mood to study? Any tips...

grades as motivation always worked for me

I usually go the the bookstore and do my work in the cafe.
This way, I'm not tempted to watch TV or surf the net.

good suggestion!

Remind yourself that at the end of the day it's up to you to decide whether u want to live a miserable life and be plagued by guilt or show gritty determination to work hard so that u can gloat about your success one day.


The thought of failure was devastating.

that is true. i hate that feeling too.

ditto!

i also find that i get a lot of reading done when i'm stuck in traffic lol. go for a bus ride XD

wait 'til the last minute

That works like a charm for me, I like it when the pressure's on... just rationalizing for my hardcore procrastination.

cramming works best for me when i'm finishing my esays..
so i've been doing a lot of cramming during my college days really....

however for sit-down exams...
already forgot

Having bad grades usually works for me.

think like this..as motivation..

if you study and pass the exam, treat yourself a good meal and drink.

always work for me.

Smoke weed

Training is a good catalyst. If you take an hour for a good run or ride on a bicycle every afternoon, then you give yourself time to think of the possible reasons to get back home to apply yourself to whatever academic studies you might be required to pursue. Physical exhaustion is a great way to increase mental stamina.

remember not to lock yourself in a room. if u dont have fresh air, it can make u dizzy and lazy.

I go to the library. Seeing other people work hard motivates me do the same as well.


Lol I always end up looking out the window, so I don't even bother studying during car rides.

Just take the ADD pill. Its quite helpful.

mostly the grades motivate me. or thinking about how Hugh Hefner lives. and someday i can have a house and life as his lmao
