EPTAnyways I have a really difficult time committing to studying but I figure the first step is getting my goals where I can read them and maybe update with regular progress reports so I can be subject to public ridicule if I start to deviate off course. I've banned myself from irc and all other distractions, and my work area right now is the floor where it's difficult to fall asleep or get sidetracked by the internet. My objective right now is to study at least 10 hours a day, adjusting that based on my progress.
I'll probably keep the junk food to a minimum and drink lots of water - musicwise I probably study best without any music but there's just no way I'll be able to get through the week without it, it's just too dull - anyone have any music preferences for getting work done?
For some people it's trivial for them to just buckle down and do what needs to be done and if it seems like I'm taking this way too seriously or making this too dramatic it's because I really suck at staying focused when it comes to studying - this is probably my first time preparing for something with such an aggressive schedule. I had about a month to prepare for it and I pretty much pissed it away so that gives you an idea of how good my time management skills are.
Machine mode will be engaged right after the post button gets pressed, wish me luck. I'm open to tips on how to stay focused, also feel free to shit on me about my inability to man up and just do what has to be done - it will motivate me.
Also does anyone know what happened to mightyatom's blog posts? I know he deleted them but I was just curious why - they helped me put in perspective how much of a irresponsible shit I am ^^
