    Motivator?

    Anyone know a good way to get motivated? I've got this pile of work sat here for revision for my exams coming up at uni and i just have no motivation to do any of it at all. I used to work my butt off all day long and have plenty of juice left in me, now i can't even look at it without thinking more work!

    Anyone else have the same problem?

    I have the same problem sometimes, i have 2 methods to make me work:

    1) get a girl to promise me a lil sumthin' sumthin' if i get a certain mark

    2) Imagine what will happen if i dont work and fail, its a scary thought sometimes

    I always find an impending deadline helps...

    My housemate, also doing a course like yours at uni has similar problem... he spends all his time not working...

    I got totally put off revising last year when i revised loads an did all the past papers, went in and sat the exam, and they asked bloody stupid questions! Like picked the most UNLIKELY thing you could find in your notes, things that you only had like once sentence in passing on, and asked you a bloody question on it!

    They continued to do the same this year too. They dont want you to learn the important stuff and understand how to do it all, they want you to have a photographic memory and MEMORISE your notes word for word.

    At least, that's the only way i can see that you ever stand a chance of passing. Well, that and sheer goddamn luck!

    Holiday work for me gets done in the last few hours of the holiday and I thoroughly regret it.
