    How do you deal with the heat?
    For about a week now its been beautiful outside and more often than not i've wasted the days either out with my friends or "revising" in the sun, which consists of reading the book whilst listening to music and achieving nothing

    Does this happen to anybody else when you can only really revise in the evening when its sunny and if not how do you deal with it?

    Also i was wondering if anybody could offer any tips for resisiting the temptation of wasting away in the sun other than just "show restraint and stay inside"

    Thanks

    Today, I was supposed to be revising after my 10am revision class, ended up going to starbucks and lounging around in the park
    Um, I took my school jumper off to deal with the heat- thats about it.

    I do work at the garden table. Sitting at a table always makes it easier to work.

    The best thing I've found is having my desk against my window and opening the windows - that way you get the heat, breeze and it almost feels like your outside, but then you're still at your desk with all your work so you actually get stuff done.

    Sit outside and then give myself an hour of 'free time' every afternoon to reward myself for working all morning.

    I'm quite an indoorsy person too though, so the heat isn't a massive problem for me.
