Distractions

Yesterday I found it rather difficult to focus on anything bar related. I started out at 6am reviewing my Con Law cards to get a grasp on the law once again so that I could easily move into my review questions. Turns out the move wasn't quite as easy as I thought. I went for a walk in the morning, before it became too hot outside, to clear my head and try to regain my focus. By the time I got back, the last thing on my mind was focusing on bar review questions.

I made it through 29 of my 50 questions, but wait for it, I did those 29 questions while being eternally distracted by past episodes of House. I found myself going from one episode to another, just skipping around and enjoying House. Now, understand that I have already watched all of these episodes before, but the distractions was just too great. I couldn't get myself back into my study groove and finally at 10pm I gave up and went to bed.

This morning I woke up at 6am rested and refreshed and ready to tackle some Con Law and Torts. I started working at my remaining questions and it took about 50 minutes to get through the remaining questions. I know have to listen to my lectures, but before I can get settled in for three hours of lectures, I need to remove my distractions.

I cannot afford to spend another day lolly-gagging around watching episodes of shows I have already watched or movies that I've already seen. It's hard enough with the collection of videos available on Hulu, I don't need my own library to get in the way. I am packing up my external HDD that has all those videos in an attempt to rid myself of the distraction and again refocus my attention on this increasingly important bar review. This online bar preparation is turning out to be harder on the old willpower than I originally thought . . . I'll let you know how it turns out.
