A lot of times when I need to study for something I have trouble because I have homework in another class or just something else I need to take care of. Usually people say you should get the big stuff out of the way first, but I’ve realized that the opposite works much better for me. I can’t concentrate on something big if I have a lot of other things I have to do nagging at me in my head. So, I take care of the homework and little things first. Then I only have the test to study for and no distractions.
