    Last exam was biology on thursday afternoon.

    Finished completely on wednesday afternoon after economics.

    Haven't opened a book since having studied for biology.

    I've tried. But I literally can't bring myself to.

    I have this evening and 3 full days.

    anyone here also in a similar scenario, of foolish laxadasical but helpless drifting?

    anyone one with motivational skills would also be greatly appreciated also. :)

    bleh. :(

    Well you've been studying hard for the past two years. Three more days and it'll all be over. Just keep that in mind.

    no motivation at all :/ i still have 2 exams...

    I've two on monday, and I've completely ignored studying one! Whoops!! Going to go do a few physics question now in a few minutes, after doing two accountancy papers today (where do my priorities lie, eh?).

    It was really hard to force myself to do it.

    Take this evening off, and set yourself a time to start. Say "I'll start at eleven, and do 2 questions, and take a 20 minute break." Routine, routine, routine.

    For three days, c'mon, you can do it!!

    I have four exams next week and I've definitely lost all motivation (any motivation I had to begin with :o ). I was the same last weekend, Saturday was a write-off and Sunday morning and afternoon much the same.

    I'm not too worried though, the most productive I've been all year was the evening before the actual exams.

    I figure that although study is important, so is mental relaxation (and stability!) , so I'm taking a lot of the weekend for that.

    Ugh, I feel like this. Chemistry on Tuesday, and I'm being so lazy even though I want an A! Then music on Thursday!
    I'm acting as if I'm finished already, I'm so exhausted after the past weeks

    Have a look at the DEB mock english paper 1. Theme = motivation. Do a few comprehensions and you'll be sorted

    Opened my books in the conservatory, fell asleep for four hours almost immediately. I'll give it another go tomorrow somewhere else... :(

    I was so worried before the exams and studying all the time but since english I have done so little I can't believe it myself.. I just can't motivate myself either.


  • Registered Users Posts: 286 ✭✭Griffen262


    Im on again Wednesday and Thursday, cant motivate myself at all!...Watched the first series of The Walking Dead today though, so it wasn't completely wasted :p

    guys i did nothing when i came from the DCG exam yesterday then went to bed round 2 a.m. then got up the following day around 1p.m. and did study! what you need is a break. you've been "hard at it" for a week and a half. for productive study you need rest! 1 day wouldnt have killed ye!

    My new motto- If it's important to you, you'll find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse.

    I really need an A1 in chem on tuesday, wasted all today, and if I don't get it I'm fairly bo***xed for the aul poíntí- so tomorrow and Monday, I'll be working on FEAR-no excuses!

    I'm the same for music, though tbh, I know basically everything except for one topic. My practical was great, so I'm not killing myself with stress over the next few days. I'm exhausted, the last week and a half really hit me hard.

    Although, if you really want to do well, you just need to force yourself to do something. Go for a walk in the fresh air before you start working. It clears your head and wakes you up so it'll be easier to study.
