text: how can i get rid of distractions? i feel so distracted when i try to get work done.  my room feels kinda cluttered, and my roommate is always in here talking and watching tv.  the problem is i don't know exactly what distracts me, after a few minutes of thinking about other stuff i finally realize what i'm doing and then go back to doing work, only to be distracted more after a few more minutes.  how can i stay on track and force myself to get homework done? get a big goal/dream!!! nobody wants to do work, but if you figure out why you want to do the work then it will be eaiser to stay on track  if you want to get good grades so you can get in to gradschool, then just think about that and the nice things you will buy with your extra money cause you worked harder  also try leaving your room to study
