Hmm... back in my college days, I used to have a bottle of Absolut Vodka on my desk (sometimes Kurrant, usually Citron). I'd pour one shot -- when I was losing focus or getting "thinker's block", I'd dip my finger in it for a taste.
I hardly drink now, but it definitely kept me going when doing marathon homework sessions. | |
I usually listen to music, and sometimes I'll get up and get a glass of soda if I feel I need some motivation. 1 sip per vocab word >_> (similar to Bootyboy's method, but legal for people underage).
Yeah, that's right, vocab. My teacher likes to make it interesting, too, by giving us 60 words; oh yeah, the definition of each is a paragraph long, as well. It takes a couple of hours, and it couldn't get any more boring than that! | |
Im going to try these methods, thanks :)

When finals roll around, I get a ton of 5 hour energys, and then mix and match. Vodka doesn't work for me, I usually end up buzzed due to a total lack of self control. | |
I invite some friends over with the same work so we can do group work.It get's pretty fun.

Energy Drinks and Music FTW.

I usually listen to music play a game before I start to hype me a little then I get to work whilst drinking a bottle of pepsi.
| |
nothing, I just fail.
| |
Music, and some pepsi usually keeps me focused.

You wouldn't want to do something that you don't want to do, would you? (Cool sentence)
So try wanting to do it, make it fun. Do something which makes it enjoyable!
