Small small things here and there will do the jobMake small slots of study with short breaks in between.Make Facebook and other things as a gift for studying well (contingency management), like if you have studied for a certain period you can use it for few minutes, otherwise don't allow yourself to use it. Here you have to be strict with yourself. Some amount of discipline is a must and there is no other way.Try to find study partners. Keep discussing with them whatever you have studied. That will keep you going and you'll be motivated to study more.Be innovative. You can change the place where you studyTake some break in between and do the things you want yo do.. Like an evening with friends.Regards,Dr Atun
