Hey guys, throughout my life, I have never studied hard-core. REally, my grades are OK (mid 80's) and I'm in higher level courses is my Highschool that I'm a freshman in, but I feel as if I need to be studying. I don't watch TV at all, but most of my life is spent on the computer, cello, or piano (the last two I've been practising religiosuly for about 4 hours a day with private lessons on the weekends), for some reason, I just can't tear myself away from my comp. I've tryed, but right when I get to my desk, I just feel the need to go back. Does anybody have any suggestions for me? Has anybody ever been in a situation like this, if so, what did you do?

Studying

LMAO, same situation here and I need the same advice. Good for you for being hardcore with the cello, nice instrument it is. I can never get 4 hours out of my viola in a day.

Well, my computer desk is also where I study. What I do is read, highlight the main points of a page, and then type them into word after getting done with one page. Sometimes, what I do is first look at all the posts on a2a, then after I'm done highlighting and typing, I can check if there are any new posts. Pitiful, but at least it's some kind of incentive system.

funny cuz as i sit here and read your post i am procrasting from a big thing i didn't start thats due tomm lol. I'm the same as you i never study and i wait until last minute to do my homework and i get low A's and B's. If i studied i'd prob be a straight A student but i dont and find a hard time doing so. I dont go out n e weekdays with my friends because i no i need to study and i end up not study so it really sux. I know i work best under pressure and if its the same for you maybe u could create yourself some pressure. Like make some plans and no that u have to get it done b4 you do that.

I wish I knew the answer myself. I'm a great procrastinator and don't have enough self-discipline and it has really held me back.I suggest that, if possible, you study in a different room from the computer. Make yourself a strict timetable with study times during which you do not allow yourself to turn on the computer, or do anything except study. If you don't study during those times, you must stare at a blank wall.Ideally, study at school or somewhere else a long way from the computer.

I took a study in school this year thinking if i was in school i would use the time. Turns out i'll just sit there and do nothing even when there is noone there to talk to and i have work to do. Its sorta sad lol. and hey sometimes black walls and fun to look at, you can make up stories about what u see in your head!

Sitting in class and studying is one thing I can't do.
-
Yea, I'll try some of that stuff, thanks!
-
Yea, youre totally right. The old saying, 'don't make fun of the nerd, he'll be your future boss' comes into play here I belive...

In reply to: It's not worth fucking over your future just to sit on the computer Hmmm. Well, not only do I make high A's but I'm also a network technician at 17 years old. It's all about using your time constructively is all.
