How to get 'momentum'

On some days, I don't have the momentum to study, on these days it's
very hard for me to put myself behind my books & start learning. & when
I am behind my books, I learn very inefficient & slow.
Does sb has any idea's / tips to become more productive when you really
don't feel like? Tomorrow I'm going to try to wakup early & run a bit
before study'ing to try if that works :)

Thanks,
Joris

Thanks for your reply's :)...

Thanks for your reply's :) usualy I study the best at home or in my dorm room, but when I don't feel like learning I'm usually wasting time on my computer. Next time I'm going to go to the library :) I'll probably learn more in the library than in my dorm room, thanks for the tip :) I'm already using a study plan, but because I always over estimate myself it doens't work that good, now, when I plan to do something on 2 days, I just add 1 extra day because it's usually not finished in 2 days :p

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
