How do you maintain focus on objective?

Hi All-

I am coming down to the wire. I need Intro to Psyc and Intro to Soc. and I will have my AA. I seem to be doing everything but study this past 2 weeks. I know I have to get these done if I want to Graduate and be able to walk in Oct.

Everytime I sit at the computer I seem to come up with an excuse to do anything except study. I even use this board as an excuse, I have posted more in 2 weeks then the past 2 years.

Is it cold feet? or burn out? Somebody please give me a kick start!!:o

[COLOR="Navy"]I think it is critically important to not lose sight of your goal - an AA degree!

You're almost home, there's no need to sprint, coast home if you need to but get there.

Read and follow my advice "pyramid" below - perhaps one or all of these personal pearls of wisdom will see you through; they did for me.

Good Luck and Stay Focused!!![/COLOR]

[SIZE="2"]I have found success in setting challenging, but attainable goals. For example, I may decide that I am going to study for Introductory Sociology and then schedule it with my testing center. By doing things this way, I already have a specific date in mind by which I need to be confident enough to take the exam. Essentially it forces me create structure within my degree plan, even though it doesn't really exist without me creating it. When I have handled it this way in the past, it has seemed to keep me on task since I really do not have the time to take my eye off of the prize.[/SIZE]
