How do you deal with distractions when studying?

[Lewis]

Music is always the answer.

[scottish]

By not paying attention to them?

Quite simple really.

logging out of social accounts i use a lot, turn off the internet unless i need it, not take my ipad/laptop to university with me, not replying to debates when i know i have work to do, otherwise i'll spend all day doing it, set myself times when i can allow myself to be distracted so i work up until that time, earphones in if there is external noise.

[Kellie]

Making sure I'm logged out of everything apart from what I need. Then sit in my room on my own

[dbgtz]

I don't. I just wait until I either convince myself to bloody do work or until it's at the point where I know I can't keep faffing around anymore.

[Inseriousity.]

I don't lmaooo. My own fault half the time, deliberately seeking them out. I'm a procrastinator. When I was at uni, I stayed at home and commuted. I'd deliberately go to uni library even though I didn't need to and could've saved the train fare. Had no choice cos of the many distractions at home.

I don't I just don't learn :l

Music.

It's so hard for me because I use online to research so I'm like okay let's check in on the forum, facebook etc. But normally when I am doing assignments it's soooo last minute I don't even have the time to think about anything else lol

[UnrealGoffEmo]

Just gotta try - it's same with any problem or issue etc I think /and find!

Out of being curious though O.P - are you asking for tips or wanting opinions?!!?

When I need to revise for a test/research for the exam, and my laptop is distracting me, I normally go to like a cafe/coffee shop (preferably Costa/Starbucks but they get really busy some times) and take my tablet with me, put it on safe mode so I can't go on social networks and just write down notes, Starbucks smells great as well. I also use noise-cancelling headphones to stop distractions.

it's nice though and it's better then getting distracted at home :) I'm probably the most easiest person to distract, I also procrastinate so much with doing revision :(

[Bloop]

i listen to the radio, i guess

i think taking ocassional breaks is the answer - satisfy the distractions, then continue working on what you are on

all white girls here

[Absently]

I just pop away into my bedroom and lay all my stuff out on bed and close the door. That's about it really. If I begin getting distracted I know it's time to take a break anyway

[Showder]

I'm a terrible procrastinator mainly cos' researching online is my basis for studying and I have to discuss with my classmates via. Facebook or Viber so I would just block out my distractions with music.

[j0rd]

just listen to music quietly

[Kyle]

Very loud trance music

Same as Scott I just don't pay attention to them, but I get annoyed if I'm being purposely distracted. Plus I rarely studied and I did fine.
