Too Much Work

[2pac4prez2004]

It's only a good 6 weeks left untill i break up from college, but there throwing mad assignments at us, i mean crazy shit like a 4,000 word assignment's every week now the pressures really starting to kick in and this week i got to hand two bitch ass assignments in, beastie ass assignments, last year was soooo much easier and fun this years fucking hell

The whole college got lectured saying 'we need to buckle up, we need to prioritise and decide whats important' which is true, but is fucking up my social life, i cant talk to the people i cant get out of my head either which just makes it worse

so am pretty much BEGGING for tips on how to concentrate and how to put people in the back of your head, because my concentration and focus is weak as hell because of people i cant forget, any study tips and ways to clear you mind to learn would be appreciated, help a dude please :thumb:

4,000 words? bahahaha, that's nothing!

Best tip: Get the fuck off the 'net & do your work.

If someone could post a useful answer, I'd aprecciate it too... I have very important tests this week, I'm tired of studying! My social life is just pathetic, I don't even remember what it's like to go to a club! I have to find a way to study all the day, but my concentration is also very weak. I managed to pass my maths exam with a 10/10, so that was great, but the exams I'm going to have now are more difficult...

2pac4prez2004: If I find a solution to this I'll tell you about it!

Best tip: Get the fuck off the 'net & do your work.

I guess you're right, I'll have to try that...

make a checklist of shit u have 2 do and then cross out each thing. even break up your assignments into mini assignments. it feels good to cross things off a list (at least it does for me) and u can take a break after each step of the way. hang in there, you'll be fine.

I usually start with an energy drink or some coffee, lol.

Nah, seriously one thing to consider is when is your best time to study - for me it is in the morning, so I get the bulk of my work done then, because its harder to concentrate and get motivated at night.

Also, little things such as setting out a certain amount of work to do before you let yourself get distracted by other people or the net or tv or whatever. That way rather than stressing about what you have to do while you are taking a break, you can use a break as a reward. e.g. I will write at least 500 words before I go out tonight, something like that. Sounds dumb, but I find it makes me feel better.

Another thing, just because you have a shit load of work to do doesnt mean you have to sit and force yourself to study for hours on end. Make time to take a walk, get up and stretch every half hour, get a drink - stuff like that really does revitalise your mind for those long stints in front of the computer or whatever.

Hope that helps, good luck with it all.

What you should do is circle the start of summer break on your calendar. Then, as each day passes, cross out the day and tell yourself, "I made it through that day, I can make it through this day, and this day, etc." It's not a tip on studying or concentrating, but it is a tip on motivating yourself and telling yourself that better days will come and all the work will pay off.

lol, you coffein junky.

Seriously, I got a lot to do too....I think the key to motivation is that you have something nice planed when you're done with the work. So I'm, thinkin like......I finish this assignment now so I can hit the party in the evening.
