Multitask

Listen to music while you study or listen to lectures while you game

Getting a little exposure is worth more than none

Also study in short periods of times like 20 minutes

M8, i really do suggest you pick one or lurk more. No one is amused, no one is angry, no one thinks you're anything more than a reject teeny faggot, and I can almost guarantee that this is the best advice you will get all week.

Lurk more.

Pure force. Much like the self propelled toy car, you keep pulling back until it starts clicking; right? Pulling it back any further isn't going to propel it any further. Actually as I'm writing this I'm realizing this is a terrible analogy. Perhaps you're somewhere in the adhd spectrum. Go see a mental health professional and maybe they can prescribe something to help you focus durring times you want to study. Finding things that really really interest you can help, because then those things will become the things that you browse the Internet for. Just make sure those things can help better your life.

Most people can't work a full 8 hours
you'll burn out quick
take breaks, study and work in sprints of 20-40 minute blocks with 5-10 minutes of goofs in between

The best way to make yourself do something is to make it more fun, and turn it into a habit, and avoid having to exert excessive self-control by reducing temptation.

Start working at the same time every day. it's tough but once you get used to it, your brain will automatically switch gears when it knows it's time to work.

Keep yourself motivated by making it enjoyable. Listen to music that gives you energy, give yourself a reward like a small candy after a certain amount of time has passed without stopping. Slowly increase the length of time you study before you get the reward.

Also, use programs such as focalfilter to block websites that you know are problematic. Make it so you can't be tempted by that stuff, because you know you'll fall for them. If you know it's a weakness, remove it from the equation. That's the best and most effective way.

Another tip I forgot to mention, that falls under the "make it fun" category is to have someone who keeps you accountable. I have a friend I chat on and off with all day, and we'll keep each other responsible. We make each other go to sleep, do boring housework, etc. You need the right person to do this but knowing that you're not alone doing a sucky thing makes it more bearable, and then you can congratulate each other when you're done, and that's enough of a reward for that extra little bit of motivation.

If you don't work hard you will never be a Rolex wearin', diamond ring wearin', kiss stealin', wheelin' deelin', limousine ridin', jet flyin' son of a gun, and have a hard time holdin' your gators on.

So work harder and that could be you some day, or don't and be a jabroni.
>>
Once you start working, you get in the zone, and work actually gets fun.

But getting started is the problem.

The guilt of playing video games or whatever when you have important work you should be doing... Is HORRIBLE.

That horribleness is what kicks me into starting to work.
