Im terrible at studying. I always end up looking for distractions. Any tips on how to combat this? I have always been easily distracted!

Thanks

Uh huh. For a start I think you we both need to deregister off this site!

LOL. Think I am going to have to block it. Deregistering seems too extreme especially as I can use my Ipod to secretly access itGrin

Clearly am not taking my own advice right now. But I find that turning off my router helps! Also reading/taking notes in another room, away from the PC. My DH when working at home uses a kitchen timer - I think this is a tip he got from a time management course, and it seems to work for him, though I wish he'd buy another one and not leave me hunting the house for it when I want to time the pasta. He decides which tasks he wants to progress that day then does 10 minutes on each of them, then 15, then 20, and so on - the idea is you don't procrastinate and take little bites at everything, including the unpalatable tasks.
