Exams

How can I study when everything around me could be distracting?

The TV - What rubbish do I not watch?
The Kitchen - Has a new batch of my favourite foods from India, and dishes to clean
The Dining Table - Has my laptop, phone, newspaper
The Laptop - Gmail, FB, TOI, and this blog
The iPhone - Gmail, FB, Scrabble, NYTimes
The Windows - Have gorgeous views of a lovely spring day
The Bedrooms - The very expensive mattresses which are very inviting
The Books - Obviously not distracting, but why not? When all I do is sit, leaf through recipes and fondly remember the sights, sounds and smells of bread making

I have to get back to studying. Really. About baguettes, about yeast, about bread flour, about Starters, about Sourdoughs, about Wholegrain...

And now I'm imagining how good it would be to spread some butter on a warm piece of toast. Damn!

Ah, you've way with words - to make sound all distractions also so much fun and enticing :).

I suggest our library to escape all the temptations.

I feel the same way! I literally have to put my phone in a different room and there has to be complete silence around me or I go crazy inside! I feel like I put more energy in the environment in which I study in then I do actually studying :/
