how do i get motivated to study and finish my assessments?

i am always distracted by facebook and my friends and other things…. and i feel so stressed. i need to finish my assessments and study for my exams. i havent been to my classes all semester and i have not been studying at all! i have managed to get an extension which means i am able to do my final exams 3 weeks later than the actual date…. but how do i get down and start studying hardcore. i need to study NOW in order to get back all that time that i have spent partying. what do i do???? why is it so hard for me to be motivated. i am sitting right now in front of my laptop with my books out, my assessments in front of me. AND I STILL CANNOT MAKE MYSELF DO IT.

if i fail, i will get kicked out of uni. that is what i have been told by my faculty. just one fail is all it takes. what do i do?

I switched my laptop off this morning and sat outside in the sun to study, that way I had no distractions.

Think of the relief and sense of acheivement when you get all the work done - then you will be free from the stress. You will not spend the rest of your life thinking ‘what if I had knuckled down and did the work” and be full of regret while you are working hard flicking burgers.

Get away from the laptop…
Get away from all the distractions and if you plan to study for a while, have a cup of water or some other drink with you.

i cant get away from my laptop because i have an online assessment and i need my laptop to do it!

thats true, i keep imagining the feelings of failure and regret if i dont study… but it doesnt seem to be enough to motivate me.

i was thinking of quiting my part-time job, that way i wont have money to do anything and ill stay home and study. but i have alot of debts and all…

i just need to hold out this whole month and not go out and not be distracted and study study but i keep getting tempted to go out and do nothing.

im so scared….

I really do have to discipline yourself. Try short but intense bursts, I sometimes find that helps.

Cant you go somewhere “out of range” for a while. Do the assignments in offline mode or something? Or what if you do it on someone else’s computer that has facebook blocked?
