Sometimes having too much to do at once is overwhelming and can make it easy to lose focus. So devote your time to one bit of studying/reading or thing at a time. You can tell yourself that you will read a certain amount of pages or study for a specific amount of time (like 30 min-1 hour) before you get a break. Or if you have a resolution, take it a step at a time. Don't take in too much at once, otherwise you run the risk of giving up all together. For example, if my overall goal is to eat better, I slowly start cutting back on junk food, but don't give it up entirely. When I do have it, I try to have smaller portions, until I get so used to eating healthy, that having the occasional cheeseburger or dessert is a treat. So think about what your overall goal is, and figure out how to divide it up into baby steps. When we look at the whole mountain, we lose focus and get overwhelmed. But by taking things a step at a time, we eventually do reach the top of the mountain--it's about being focused and not giving up. [ ciao77's advice column | Ask ciao77 A Question ]
