• Use waiting time.
• Use a regular study area.

• Choose a place that minimizes visual and auditory distractions.

• Find a better place when productivity falls off.

• Pay attention to your attention.
• Agree with roommates about study time.
• Avoid noise distractions.
• Notice how others misuse your time.
• Get off the phone.
• Learn to say no.
• Hang a "Do Not Disturb!" sign on your door.
• Ask: "What is one task I can accomplish toward my goal?"
• Ask: "Am I beating myself up?" (lighten up, don't berate self).
• Ask: "Is this a piano?" (or, "Are you a perfectionist?")
• Ask: "How did I just waste time?"
• Ask: "Would I pay myself for what I'm doing right now?"
• Ask: "Can I do just one more thing?" (Stretch yourself).
