Hehe well welcome then, how long have you been lurking for?

Anyway yeah sometimes I seem to sit down and study for quite a few hours but nothing much seems to come of it. Try giing yourself hours bursts, like give yourself a goal to have finished by the end of the hour, and then give yourself a 15-20 min break as a reward afterwards

Heh I'm the same.
I guess you could use a timer and time yourself, make it more like an exam instead of just study. Do past papers this way too. Or the rewards thing year12 said might help..

I motivate myself by threatening myself with what would happen if I did not do good in my HSC. That usually gets me going for another two hours of study.

Things that sorta motivate me include:
1) Getting pissed after the HSC
2) Going out every day after the HSC
3) How disappointed my parents would be if they find out i got UAI below 90.
4) Thinking how people would think im a dumb shit if i dont goto uni.

Obstacles of study
1) This Forum...i visit too often since last week...
2) MSN
3) Girls detracting my mind, soul, spirit and body away from my desk and study to sumwhere else.
