Oranization/Study Tips

Ok, so I need some help here. In order to stay in the Education program here, I need to maintain a 3.0 GPA. Here's the problem: I can't stay focused long enough to get any of my work done. It's not that I don't understand the material, take good notes, or try; I do all of that. I just can't seem to organize my day for some reason. Professors and friends have tried to help, but they don't really understand how my brain works. I know that most of you on the other hand probably do. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Jill =)

man if I could figure that out too, my life would be easier. I can't really give you definitive advice but I can say that if you sit down on day and plan out a routine- studying for certain classes at certain times of the day on a regular basis- that may help you focus. For me repetitive routine actions help me remember.

Yeah, life would definitely be easier if I knew what would work. I've found that setting yourself a time frame to study for a certain class helps a bit. I give myself 5 minute breaks if I can't concentrate. Quiet helps, too.

ugh im so bad at being organized. i usually stuff things in my book bag and call it done. but my mom has gotten alot stricter about that kinda stuff tho. studying... omg i get bored so i stop or just fall asleep lol. my mom is really uptight avbout my grades so she now constantly studies with me and my grades have been going up. but it really gets annoying. just read read and re-read then when u get sick of it review it one more time! lol

Hey hun im a sophmore at The Evergreen State College and i am now realizing how much this does effect my school work i just thoght every one found school as hard as i did. but i just found out we can claim under The Americans Disability Act. look it up and talk to your councler about it. it is an act that if you qualify they have to give you extra help like tutoring extra time on tests and notetakers ect. its a great thing that is what i am doing

I'm doing some research on this ADA thing...it sounds like it might have potential, I thought there should be something for it but, I never knew where to start.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
