That won't work because I've convinced myself that I need my laptop and the internet to revise. :s-smilie:

Another reason why just blocking a website wouldn't work. :lol:

I'd just waste my time doing something else, like going on Buzzfeed. And yes, I'm deeply ashamed of this.

Thanks for the help anyway! :hugs:

there's a chrome extension called "stayfocusd" or something - if you turn on the 'nuclear option' and the setting where you have to type in this massive paragraph without mistakes etc (basically impossible) to turn it off, you can't go onto any blacklisted sites :smile:

ok serious advice:

You need create an evironment that removes as many distractions as possible, e.g.
turning your wifi off on your phone so you don't get whatsapp messages,
use apps which block websites you procrastinate on (I use StayFocused) etc.

One thing that helps me is not thinking about the workload, I just put myself in a "Just do it" mindset.

Hope this helps

Nope, I know perfectly well what I'll feel like if I don't get the grades I know I'm capable of, but it hasn't done much for me yet. Glad that works for you, though!

It only works at 10 PM the night before the exam for me . . . :s-smilie:
