For Christmas, my partner got me this awesome little gadget
My level of distractibility at the end of each semester is ridiculous. I always have several large papers to complete with no time to complete them, and I force myself to sit down for 8 hours to complete a paper without taking breaks, even though I know it's not an effective method at getting shit done. I end up getting distracted by every little fucking thing known to man in that 8 hour gap and get super pissed at myself for accomplishing much less than planned.
This is probably the best Christmas gift I've ever received because it is the most useful thing at getting me through grad school while I kill myself over my thesis and other side projects. It lets me do 30 minutes of complete focus, then I allow myself a 5-10 minute break, then restart cycle.
It also makes me happy because it comes in fun colors. It's a close second to helping me stay focused
