Help motivate me!

[Jonluw]

Hiya escapists.

I have a Norwegian exam tomorrow, and a physics exam the day after that. These are important exams.
It's 7:30 pm and as you can probably guess from the fact that I've made this thread, I'm not currently studying.
I managed to open my Norwegian textbook and read half a page before I got the urge to gouge my eyes out with the nearest sharp object out of boredom.
I have not yet opened my physics textbook.

How do I force myself to study?
I need to know. I'm just not capable of it. I'm currently reading webcomics just to avoid sitting down with the books for fuck's sake.

What do you do to make yourself study? How do you find the motivation? HOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!?

You need to get motivated you say?


You're welcome.

Just say it, and it shall be.

 

[BrassButtons]

You just have to do it. There's no magic secret or anything--if you need to get something done, the only option is to start doing it. That, or you decide that webcomics are more important than your exams.

Well, I find closing the internet helps!

DO IT NOW!

I find that the escapist is a MASSIVE distraction, so yeah, just get rid of your browser....

DO IT NOW!

But I caaaaaaaaaaaan't!

No seriously. I know all I have to do is turn off the computer and sit down with the book, and that's how studying happens.
But I'm just so apathetic. Sitting down with the book I only end up staring into space and daydreaming.

Get off your ass and study you lazy bum! That work? No? Time to bring in the big guns.




If these don't motivate you I don't know what will.

I'll get to those in a minute.
Riiiiight after I've finished listening to peace train.
And gotten my fill of Jaco Pastorius's Modern electric bass video.

I think.

You are so predictable Daystar, I knew you would show this vid before I even clicked.

You need to try Harder!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

That video right there is quintessential Daystar.

Get a bucket of cold (or ice water), stick your feet in, and you have to read x number of pages before you're allowed to take them out? Put on some music and read the textbook aloud to the tune?

During one of my final exams (computer networking, ugh) I made myself sit outside and read the book aloud over and over again and couldn't go inside until I'd done it a few times all the way through. Passed that one with like a 90%... seeing as I'd gotten a 54% on the midterm, I'd say it worked.

Goddamnit if you won't ace those shit tests you'll die.

Spoiler: When you see it...

If that doesn't motivate you, I don't know what will.

Wow... I see it. Am I horrible in thinking it's a bit funny? (Even though I was in High School myself when it happened...)

 

[PsychicTaco115]

Do it, or bad things will happen.

Or you could listen to this


FEEL THE MOTIVATION FLOW THROUGH YOUR VEINS!

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

You need fear, fear is a great motivator.

I want imagine there is lion behind you that will attack if you stop studying or do anyting not study related like turning round to see if the lion is really there or questioning the logic of this post[footnote]suspension of disbelief may be required[/footnote]

Good luck with exam.

I think you should start planning the time when you should study. Add in some pauses. Also remember that just reading everything as fast as possible doesn't work. You have to think about what you read.

I can't even motivate myself to do revison, how the hell am I going to motivate YOU?
Uh....
You might not get a grade you diserve? You'll feel better afterwards?
The revison pixie *MIGHT* appear, and give you cookies?
