Aug. 24th, 2006 11:57 pmI've been considering using psychological cues from videogames to help in my studies.
For instance, I could have a tape recorder play one of those "goal completed" sounds, like the jingles from Metroid games, every time I complete a problem or finish reading a chapter. Similarly, every time I get the wrong answer on a problem, I could play a suitably frustrating sound, like Mario screaming as he falls into a pit.
Every time I finish an assignment prior to the night before it's due, I could give myself an index card saying, "You have unlocked a full night's sleep!"
During finals, I could hum some vaguely apocalyptic, final boss music. Plus I would embellish the exams' titles. "Multivariable Calculus Final," for instance, would be crossed out and replaced with "Gigavariable Excalculodeath".
Just some thoughts.

On the up side, I will get to look kick-ass and have cool powers.
