Break down your goals and make them small enough so that you can't fail! Can you commit to 15 minutes of solid study time every evening? No? Ok.. what about 15 minutes 5 days a week?
Give yourself bite-sized rewards too. One of the reasons I have become such a prolific poster this year is because I think I have ADHD. I seriously can't study for more than 10-15 minutes at a time. So, I will set a mini-goal along with my reward for accomplishing the mini-goal. It goes something like this:
If Burbuja gets through one set of IC cards, she can spend 15 minutes on IC forum and/or Facebook.
If it takes me more than 15 minutes on a set of cards (as it will if you're looking at a totally brand new concept), then just set a timer for 10-15 minutes to allow yourself a mini-reward.
However, some tests are just painful or boring... or painfully boring lol. A timer and mini breaks/rewards are what has gotten me through my tests so quickly.
