    Hey, my name’s Ben and I’m struggling with motivation. I am currently in University and have an important set of exams approaching. I really need to study hard and get good grades in this. I realise now that my failure to do well in the first semester was down to PMO. I was spending more time with my books open, but really watching P and MO’ing, then actually studying.

    So now, I am trying to study, but my mind keeps wondering. I keep thinking of PMO’ing and catching myself, but I can’t seem to keep focused. So naturally I’m a little worried.

    I have been feeling ok so far, but yesterday and today, I am really struggling to find the energy. I have bursts of concentration, and I can do a bit, but then it goes and I find it tricky to get it back. The urges have increased the last 2 days, but I’m managing them ok.

    I have been going to the gym, and am quite pleased with my progress, considering where I started.

    Anyone going through this/got any tips?

    (1). Delete all your porn/bookmarks/subscriptions, etc
    (2). Keep gyming/exercising and enjoy the rush afterwards and celebrate each workout
    (3). Keep busy and take pride in your work and believe you'll succeed. Never be bored in front of the PC.
    (4). Get out there and meet more people/women (Meetups, etc). Nothing more motivating than increasing your circle with awesome like minded people, even if you do so gradually.

    already got rid of any porn I had, thought that might be a wise choice in case of wandering hands! lol
    I will still keep going gym , but I don't seem to get much of a rush afterwards, I do about an hour on two machines, I find that's as much as I can do currently.
    I try to do stuff when i'm bored, but whenever I sit down to do work, the mojo doesn't last long.
    and I do try to go out whenever I can, but it's the time of year when people are studying and not going out. I always do my main bit of work early so I have time to go over anything I don't know. basically the social scene now has died down a lot.

    I know you're trying to help, and I seem to have given you a load excuses, sorry.

    thank you for the advice. :)

    Hey man,
    All I can tell you is that you have to believe that you can succeed and once you do nothing will stop you even if you keep on failing.
    Good luck!
