Good motivations and strategies to stay on target?

"Just do it" -Nike

"Get 'er done" -Some redneck

I'm familiar with those, but if anyone has any personal strategies they use to help keep themselves on track, I'd be open to hear them.

I'm struggling with ICND2 studying, simply because I'm not that interested in the material. I mostly want to focus on wireless tech, but I'm trying to knock out the CCNA R&S first as everyone says it's good foundational learning. I'm trying to look at things in a positive light: STP, first hop redundancy protocols, etc. are interesting to me on a surface level, and certainly important for how networks operate. But I feel like I'm mowing a large lawn with scissors some days.

Cisco Press Book, CBT Nuggets Videos for right now. Boson Exams once I feel like I've absorbed most of it.

I would say you are current better off icnd2 if you are really interested in wireless. You don't have to finish passing icnd2 because I assumed you have passed icnd1 then go for taking wireless exam ccna 200-355.
