Default Motivation for Test Prep

Hi, everyone. I'm thinking about posting my progress on my GRE preparation here. I have problem with being consistant in my studies, since school work, work, other people's demands, procrastination, etc., often take precedence. Yes, I know that doing well on the GRE is crucial to getting into a top school and obtaining funding. I have about six months left to study and do well on the exam before grad school applications become my chief preoccupation. Other than hiring a tutor ($$$) and forming a study group (a hassle to coordinate), posting here is the only way that I can think of to make myself accountable. I'm not sure where to begin because it seems that I have a mountain of study materials to cover. Thanks for listening.

Steve has a wonderful article about turning goals into habits.

In order to excel on your test, you might find it helpful to make this "Goal" a daily routine.

Good luck!
