Hello.
I was curious how you maintain your focus once you start pounding the study materials not only as a way to cross reference others in an attempt to determine if my study habits are lacking or if maybe its just the way each of us stay invested in our materials in regards to our attention spans or our not-so-absorbing brains.
I tend to head to the library even though my place would make an ok environment, however this would be counter productive since I have so many distractions that would probably sway my focus. Once I get to the library if I have it with me I will break out the laptop and watch cbt's while taking notes or pound out the books.
My real question lies in the amount of time that I can actually handle this as even though I am away from distraction and in a quiet place, I still can only maintain about an hour and a half of good solid focus on my materials before my mind tends to glaze over. This is frustrating but once I reach that pinnacle of hardcore studying, I realize that its probably a good idea to leave and come back later or another day since I probably wont be retaining what I read/watch..
How about you? Do you have that same downfall? Is it my mind trying to escape from the exercise I am attempting to put it through???
