I made myself go to a library every day from 10am to 10.30pm, and only gave myself two 1hr breaks. It's boring as fuck and takes a lot of discipline but it seriously pays off in the end. Try it!

Turn on relaxing, music, preferably with no vocals. Explosions in the Sky works well. It will drown out your random noises, and then you can focus on what you're reading. Or turn on a fan or something constant and easy to tune out.

oh wow you have a lot of self-discipline...I, on the other hand, have A.D.D. which is not good...
yeah I think I'll might follow your suggestion and go bury myself at my aunt's house (I dunno why but i don't like the library's environment) where there is no computer luring me to get on the internet...
ehm...just out of curiosity...how many days did you do that for? how many subjects did you have to prepare? coz i have a shitload of subjects and...uh...2 days and a half.........

ok thanks. I googled them and found their myspace page and I'll download their song the last spring (it's the only one downloadable)

I was pretty close into buying a mozart cd b/c they say it makes you smarter...yeah, that's what I need, lol..

I did that for just over one month, and had 15 exams/papers to prepare for. I even did it on Sundays.

i'd start off by not being at a computer when you're studying unless you have to
