I can't study if my study area is messy (OCD) and I can only start studying when the minutes are 00, 15, 30 or 45.

I know some of my friends talk to themselves while studying (it's pretty funny to watch, but effective)
Ohhh shit that's something else I do. I also realised I can't study unless I have my spare pens, some sort of textbook/book, and my wristwatch on the table to my right. It has to be to my right or else I can't study.

I swear I'm incapable of sitting at a desk normally and studying (unless I'm in a public place). I always end up either curled up on the floor or half sitting on the table. It's weird.

I cannot concentrate unless I have a full glass of water within reach at all times...

I'm the same about tea. If I don't have one there I have this nagging thought; 'I should really go get myself a cup of tea soon' and I can't focus.

I always walk out and back in whenever I am close to getting something, or if I feel that I have learned something. This happens like every 10 min. wtf i swear =_='

I have been recently taking strolls around my backyard back and forth, I think it scientifically helps with memory retainment. Probably a greater amount of oxgyen intake for the brain.

When I got bored of studying for HSC, I went out in my backyard and filled up my super-soaker and played imaginary counter-strike, doing barrel rolls and hiding behind cover. I used a ball as a grenade. HSC can make you go crazy.

I do this too... I just pace around the house and piss off the folks :lol:

coupled with that, I try to recite whatever I have read while I am doing that... I pretty much look like I am talking to myself, schizophrenia would be the best way of describing what it looks like...

Yeah, I see this at myself too. Not sure why but it helps!
