We've all been there... the unable to focus issue.
For example, I should be studying for a major test I have tomorrow. But my studying so far is going like this:
"Study.... study..... hmm.... facebook. No, study..... study.... facebook! NO! STUDY! .........facebook. NO MORE FREAKIN FACEBOOK!!! STUDY!!!! YOU NEED TO STUDY!!! ......................................youtube."
And then I get over youtube and wind up writing a blog post about it.
But let's be honest, what's more interesting? Facebook? Or the difference between a Baroque Louis XVI fautoil or a Rococo Louis XV fautoil?
I know, I know..... it's my major. But that doesn't mean I find a study session on a sillon de cadero versus a sillon de frailero interesting.....
And then I finally start focusing and then I think, "......I'm hungry..."
And then I try to bribe myself to study. "If you study this chapter until you know it really well, then you can have the ice cream in the freezer that you're hoarding..."
But when that doesn't work, I try to force myself to study. "No food till you're done!! You'll starve first!!"
And then I think, "No, I'll study better if I'm full..." so I go eat then come back to studying.
..........
And then I think, "I need to use the bathroom............"
And then your belly is so contentedly full that you start into that drowsy stupor, and before you know it you've read the same sentence 5 times and it STILL doesn't mean anything.:P
ReplyDeleteFor me, that's only half the battle. The other half is the outside forces like life insurance consultants and concerts and cars breaking down and stuff like that, where I don't have a choice but to put down my homework and deal with that first. And then, after my homework time has been reduced to the late hours of the evening, I have to battle facebook and blogging and all that...
