numerous distractions abound that keep us from studying. TV, social networking sites such as facebook and myspace, online earning sites like mylot, visits of friends, relationship problems, family matters, etc. are examples of distractions that prevent us from focusing on studies.. what are your distractions?

One of those that really distracts me every time I'm reviewing my lessons is my cellphone. I can't switch it off or make it silent because it might receive an important or an emergency text. Some distractions can also be personal problems in the family or loved one.

yeah, i could imagine how a text can change our mood. but at times, it is a welcome distraction because we get inspired by a certain text message or call, right?

Yes definitely! there were times that after reading a text that really struck me most or I was being texted by someone i like, I begin to forget the recent lessons I've reviewed.

at least you still have time to study. or you reserve a certain time to allot for studying, i think it is not worst. they call it time management. online earning sites are better than playing games and social networking sites all day without earning any bucks, right?

My main distractions are my boyfriend, and, honestly, just the internet in general. I can study with the TV on in the background and still actually get a good amount of work done.

As far as I can remember, I dont think I had any distractions when I was still studying. My university was located in an area where are only a few people and the only residents living in that town are the same people working in the university. There's nothing much to see there. Its like surrounded by mountains. I had friends but they dont distract me at all cause they are also studying. I had a boyfriend but he was not a distraction either cause I was competing with him academically which was something he didnt like. Family also didnt distract me cause even if there were times that I miss them, I can still find a ways to be with them and I just go home. The university is just an hour away from my house anyway.

During my time, it would be pocketbooks :). I put aside studying just to read books. Reading is what kept me awake most of the time more than studying.

mine definitely has to be my guitar and the computer. The computer is not so much a distraction since i use to do my homework most of the time.
