Just don't study and let destiny decide.

Yep, a schedule is the key. The problem is you say "I need to spend 5 hours doing this stuff over the weekend", but don't plan when to do it. So subconciously you think "man, 5 hours in a 60 hours weekend - no problem". Then it's 9 PM SUnday, and you haven't done anything.

Planning seems trivial, but it's actually important.

unplug your internet

Works well for me when I need to write an essay. Since it's so late, there's nothing good on tv other than poker, which I have seen before.

I take lots of freecell-music breaks though.

I have to agree with the other posters regarding scheduling time to study/do homework. However, if you find this hard to do, see if you can get a group of people together to meet every week an do your work together.

I'm not talking about a study group where it just meets for one class, but a group of people that will give you hell if you don't show up, and will get you to work through peer pressure.

Better yet, see if some folks you know already do this and will let you join them. If you had to set it up yourself, you'd just keep putting it off. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
