Sometimes you may consider some work or a class pointless and not useful to your further studies. However, when these thoughts arise and you think that getting a pint of beer is a better idea than getting a good grade, remind yourself what the ultimate goal of your schooling is. Remind yourself why you wanted to go to school and take this program in the first place.
◆Turn off the Internet.
The most common things that take your attention away are those found on the Interne-social media sites, and videos. If you do not need the Internet to do your work, turn it off so that you are not receiving notices while completing your work. 38 You can take a break from being connected to the cyber world in order to do your school work. If you feel the need to check messages and websites often, set times when you will allow yourself to do so rather than constantly staying connected.
