How can I get myself to do more of my college work?

As above really, it is abit of an odd title.

Basically, I need to do college work out of college if I want to do any good in the course, but I find it really hard to actually get in that state of mind where you can just sit there and do college work without being distracted. Even if I really enjoy the work I still find myself ending up playing a game or browsing OcUK, I mean is their any way at all to train yourself to stop doing this and easily get in the state of mind where you can just sit there and knock out your college work?


Thanks
Will.

I'm awful at doing this. I don't know how I will manage at Uni. I do work before the deadline, but only just. Generally keeps me in the A-B area that I need to be. Should be pushing for constant As though.
 
I have a huge problem with this. I tend to do work in the undergraduate computing labs so I have access to all the stuff I need but have a different environment to allow me to focus.

Or you can use some brains and just maybe, be like this guy:

1: he's on a racetrack, 2: car is LHD, not in UK :p

And to actually contribute, talk to a friend/relative who's only slightly older than you and has walked your path, college-wise. He'll tell you all about his struggles and what he wished he did & didn't do.

For instance, I myself scraped through my 1st year and 2nd year of uni. Now if I want to get a 2:1 degree (which most good high paying graduate employers want), I'll need to work my arse off this year to get it. If I worked harder in my first 2 years, the 2:1/1st would've been a piece of cake to get this year. :rolleyes:
 
Thanks for the ideas, when I get a laptop (if ever) I might start going to the library, don't know if selling my main PC for a laptop would be such a good idea, might help me do my work better.
 
Sorry for bumping, just want to say, going to give the reward idea a go, going to work solid until 8PM, so 2 hours as have been working since 6, then going to reward myself with a nice 18mile loop in the cold wet :p

Good to see you decided not to be a poor commoner.
 
Good luck with it Will :)

I have had all day to write a report and so far I have written....the title :( . I have tomorrow and all weekend too though, so at that rate it could be finished by the next olympics! I have no intention to finish this course now so that somewhat diminishes motivation, it was cleary a mistake to start it.
