HTFU and study?

What about going somewhere with less distractions? ie a library or cafe etc.
I find being away from computers/internet access can help.

i don't understand your question.

do you need a "method" to study effectively, or "motivation" to study in general?

what do you study? do you like it? why do you study?

Motivation

the videos beforewisdom posted are good but it didnt really help

i had a big goal but im not sure if what i study will help me achive it so my motivation is down - but i know its good for me to do well in my study and it might also help in reaching my goal but its harder to be motivated when its not directly connected to my goal - its hard when its not simple and clear - do this and you will succsed

i guess im looking for some short range motivation - something that will help me sit on my ass even though i dont have a goal in mind

Its complicated - but i guess i need motivation or something in the line of HTFU - but its not enough just HTFU - cause then i think to my self i can HTFU but why should i ?

The main trick to HTFU, is to just HTFU and not think about it too much.

I agree with this

I often sit down and make myself study timetables instead of studying, ridiculous! Even though I love what I'm studying I think the whole stress factor and the fact that I have a deadline makes me want to somehow subconsciousnessly rebel and put off my study, but if it was for just simple enjoyment I would do it quite happily. It's shooting myself in the foot really. And often once you get started you think "this isn't so bad, why didn't I just do this earlier instead of wasting all that time avoiding it?"

Anyway if I find myself starting to avoid study I force myself to go into uni or the library when I should be doing my home study. I find that once I'm there I have no problems getting motivated to get it done, because there's nothing else to do. I think it's because I just associate that space with studying and I asociate my home with relaxation (especially in the evenings). So I often go to uni at 8pm and stay for a couple of hours, it makes it not seem like such a chore.

I also have a general rule that I'm not allowed to check facebook or private emails or do anything non study related whilst at uni/library, that way I don't associate the uni computers with fun stuff. and I can't get distracted when I take a five minute break that accidently turns into an hour of facebook tetris....
