Watson OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1280 Karma: 85	yeah I have the same thing. I often browse pictures as a quick break from studying. Studying's hard. One piece of advice: don't call it the fall semester, that's just asking for trouble

Have you tried listening to music while you study?

Do you only have the problem when studying, or do you have trouble relaxing when nothing in particular is going on (meaning, you need constand stimulation of some sort)?

gibbor120 OFFLINE Platinum Boarder NEVER EVER GIVE UP! Posts: 5251 Karma: 166	Sorry, I meant do you have the problem of "my mind goes bananas and tries to find every possible destraction". I was just asking if you have a hard time relaxing, or are you restless when nothing in particular is going on?

Watson OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1280 Karma: 85	I know what you mean about studying. You go for 2 minutes and you've read an entire paragraph and you need a 5 second break before the next one. What can you do to relax in 5 seconds? Well the obvious answer is porn, but we need some less obvious answers. Personally I keep a stress ball on my desk so I can squeeze it, throw it etc for a few seconds. But yeah, I'm struggling with the same thing.
