Curious as what people do to stay concentrated and maintain the desire to keep on revising when its gets boring, and also getting started straight away.... without wasting any time :L

Thanks

Avoid TSR

[YahRah]

I have started to think to myself that these next few months can, in theory, sculpt the rest of my life. If I actually bothered to revise every night I could do really well and exceed my grade predictions ect. That generally gets me excited about revising...for about 5 seconds, then I revert back to procrastinating :'(

Have a goal and when you cba picture how good it would feel to succeed/how crap it would feel to fail.

[StanKing]

Picture that goal you want to achieve everytime you even think of procrastinating or just doing nothing... it'll then be hard for you not to revise.

Cheesy, I know

Come August you're either going to be very pleased with your results, or feeling a bit rubbish knowing that you could have done better with more work, why not put the effort now knowing it can effect the rest of your life.

However, I can't really say anything. I'm sat here watching Mastermind with my cat

personally, i took a photo of a homeless person from google and stuck it on my bedroom door.

sure keeps me motivated... well sometimes anyway.

[EmilyLaura90]

Short term pain, for a long term gain! Like everyone else has said, focus and visualize yourself in the future and where you want to be!

[HanaKimi]

Failing and on results day seeing everybody else happy and jumping and then asking myself 'wth was I doing? I had plenty of time to revise, I wish...I wish'

lol, that's quite a good idea

[Satta101]

Just thinking if I don't revise how will this impact my future goals. I want to be one of those people crying tears of joy on results day. This sometimes motivates me.

[Reform]

I find my subjects interesting except for one. Nah, I lie.. I'm just determined to do well for myself and my parents who'll kill me.

[.snowflake.]

If I don't get the necessary grades for my firm, i will meet my conditions for my insurance, but it's not really the course I want.
If I don't get into my firm, my parents will kill me.
And I'll have let all my teachers down.

[Alex_K123]

Set yourself mini targets -
By the end of the day I need to have done...
I do this for for each session. Before I have a break I need to know ..., then have a 20/30 min break, then start all over again

[Safiya122]

For me, I just remind myself that this is all for my future and also that I want to make my parents be able to boast about one one of us siblings atleast.. My brother didn't do so well :L
