If your a pot smoker, try quitting the green! And get more sleep! Eat healthy foods and you'll be sure to get a good nights sleep!

Reading is always a good thing to do...clean house...work on your yard...i give you props for trying this, it's hard no TV or games..i should try this with my son..i don't watch much TV or play games i keep to busy cleaning and reading like i said....try writing in a journal about how your feeling at this time...it would be fun for you to read it later...

all u got to do is pick something that u look forward to at the end of the day, and concentrate on it, even if u r tired. it could just be watching t.v. or hanging out with friends. that's how i do it. it also depends on the type of job u have. i work at Big 5.

Probably becuase the class is boring. Try taking notes so that you will have to focus. And try getting more sleep and a good breakfast.

i am med student too.. which yr are u in? Its a norm to feel this way in 1st yr. evetually you will get used to it. If u r still in first yr and realise things are getting really harsh. QUIT asap! Seen few of my friends going psycho due to stress. Medicine as a subject isnt that tough actually compared to maths. i think working life would be worse than student'. sleep all u want. listen well in lecture and come back home and do some reading on topic u learn everyay. study 3 hrs a day. and dont forget to do some sports and spend time with group of friends from same faculty or different faculty. cheers. need any help , may email me

I 'hear' you!  'Been there, done that.' Feeling like you're so far behind, that 'what's the use of trying?'\nIf it's not a physical or emotional problem, one that a Dr. should address, then you must 'own' the problem and not allow your emotions to 'own' you. We all have feelings, but it's all about how we react to them that really matters.\n\nI remember how I felt; the same way you feel, but I decided to try something different...like making my study time a priority. I found that I tested much better, and felt much more confident when I was well-prepared. \n \nSounds simple; it's not. But, it's worth a shot..."Nothing ventured, nothing gained."\nI wish you all the best.

I've always had trouble concentrating, but the worst time was spring of my freshman year in college. I was overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, terrified of not doing well, and my mind and emotions just shut down.\n\nI don't know if that's what's happening to you, but it's a possibility.\n\nAnother long-shot possibility is that you have undiagnosed attention deficit disorder which you've managed to compensate for until now (that was my case)--either the workload's gotten harder, the topics are more difficult or other emotional issues are adding to the load. Thus your ability to compensate is being compromised.\n\nI'd suggest talking to your parents, school counselor, a teacher or other adult you REALLY trust. Just make sure it's someone who will listen and hear your concerns and try to help you problem solve and get to the root of your issues...because the possibilities I've mentioned may have nothing to do with your situation.

Maybe you're one of those people who do better studying in a group?\n\nBEWARE of who you choose to study with though. If you're in a bunch of people who also can't focus / study and want to play, this will be counter-productive. Choose someone / people who is/are focussed and can sit down for a while and are serious in studying/doing well. Make sure you also take some breaks. Apparently a good formula is studying 50 minutes, rest 10 minutes but I never stuck to that so you just have to find what suits you. Try to eat well while studying - have proper meals but not too much as you'll feel tired if you're too full. Also make sure you have proper/enough sleep.\n\nHope this helps.

You are probably better off studying a little less and getting some sleep.  Lack of sleep can cause lack of concentration, and your brain will not be working as well as it could.  Maybe you could spread your studying out...start a couple days earlier.

Moving is a stressful time.Your subconscious could just be looking for a way to handle that stress.It's very common. I do it too, when I'm cramming for tests, midterms and finals.Once the stress evens out, you'll find your appetite will return to normal.

I used to be the same way. I study my notes and go over formulas for math everyday so I'm not cramming at the last minute.  Also, when I study, I listen to classical music.  It seems to relax me so I remember more.

What im feeling gloomy, I do a number of things (though not at the same time). I watch a funny movie or program. I listen to some of my favorite music or I just talk with my friends. Works for me.

I think it is GREAT that your school does not offer TV.  Go out to recess or to the library and read, hang out with friends, join a club. Take advantage of an environment without the distraction of TV.  I don't think TV is evil  and I watch it in the evenings. There is a place and a time for TV viewing and school is not that place. Sorry to be such kill-joy!

Im in the middle of dead week...where it is study for finals all week with minimal activity otherwise.  I charge up with alot of snacks including my favorite stress food...cheesy popcorn.  I brew up a pot of coffee, take an asprin, and get about 3 hours of sleep.  Im not ready to go home though...because I am at home :).  Good luck to you and everyone on there finals!  Happy Studying!!!

I soooo hear you on this one. I'm in University and I'm a procrastinator to the core. I don't know if this will help you or not but, I got a laptop for my birthday this year, and now that I can sit on the couch and be comfortable (and I like being in the midst of noise too) I find it much easier to get work done. I think you just have to find a place where you can be comfortable, and know what time of day you work best at (I way prefer nights to mornings). Also, drinking water works better than caffeine. Good luck to you!

do all your homework first before doing anything else like watching tv...trust me, I'm a huge procrastinator and i'm still learning how to manage my time also\n\ni know it's hard to follow my advice but when you actually follow through, you'll feel so thankful...bcuz then u can have time to do fun things\n\ni'm in high school and this year has been really stressful and i try to not procrastinate as much...if i don't do hw until the last minute, i am staying up all night...i've pulled so many all-nighters, even staying up as late as 4 am (and i only got 2 hours of sleep)...\ndon't do the same thing i did (staying up) cuz you'll just feel like crap when u go to school that morning\n\nso, DO HOMEWORK RIGHT AWAY AND DON'T PUT IT OFF TO THE LAST MINUTE!!! or else your grades will suffer!\n\nhope this helps...=]

Feeling good. Life is treating me better than I probably deserve. Even though you are asking because you're bored, thank you for asking. And I hope you soon feel like "someone" because you are! ;)
