How can I motivate myself to do more work? I was doing okay when we started classes but I've come to a point where I can't focus on reading anymore because when I start reading, I find myself battling to stay up and focus as it makes me really sleepy. I've never had this problem before and I really want to finish this program I'm taking because I've flunked the last 2 times I went to college. I'm currently taking business Accounting and I'm doing intro to accounting. so my question is, what can I do to change things so I can focus on my reading/ writing and doing my assignments? I've been trying to improve on removing these barriers but none of them seem to work.
