Maybe it’s YouTube videos or Khan Academy, maybe it’s textbook-specific videos, maybe it’s SketchyMicro! You know you should watch it, but it’s hard to motivate yourself to start watching some boring lecture on your screen when you could be checking fashion blogs instead. 

Therein lies the magic of combining it with exercise. When you’re doing something REALLY boring, like straight cardio, suddenly academic videos look much much more interesting. I would definitely recommend watching something rather than trying to read; I have attempted trying to read while on the treadmill and it is an exercise in frustration and possible motion sickness. 

Treat yo’self to some new workout clothes and take your tablet or phone to the gym to get in some physical training in addition to your mental training! 

Wear a cute pair of leggings and add a funny athletic shirt to start off your gym sesh. The sports bra above can be used even by bustier women. (I run in it, and the number of sports bras I can run in are limited!) Curly hair pins and some nice hair ties will keep your hair out of your face and your attention focused. Finally, a pair of cordless earbuds will make it much easier to run (and see the screen!) without having your headphone cord distracting your view .

Last but not least… Bribery

Wellllll nobody said this list would be the things you SHOULD do. It’s things that will work. And the mission of this list is for you to get stuff done, whether or not it’s the prettiest way to do it.
