Bed Concentration

For a long time I have been passionate and optimistic about the possibility of doing homework in bed. It would seem the perfect place to read away the chapters - quiet, comfortable. But no; trying to work in bed only leads to bed related disaster. Whether that be sleep, or facebook, or watching movies. It seems that bed has a sneaky way of draining concentration out of you...

or it did... until i discovered how to defeat it >>>

The breakthrough came whilst looking around 'in arms reach' of my bed for something to do apart from a bloody reading for theory class. In my left peripheral appeared a hat. Not a cap or a beanie, it was sort of a golfers hat in grey tweedish fabric.. but thats not really that important.

As soon as I put the hat on my head, I felt less inclined for my mind to wander.

This could have many explanations:

1. the sense of responsibility that comes from wearing a hat. No beanie or truckers cap will do, it needs to be a gentlemanly hat with responsibility woven into every thread. In which case; wearing similar hats would also be advised when going shopping or going out on the piss.

2. the mild discomfort that comes from wearing a hat. Encouraging you to get the task done and get the bloody thing off your head as quickly as possible.

3. the wandering thought barrier that the hat provides. Perhaps lack of concentration is actually thoughts dissipating out of the top of your head, and by wearing a hat you are managing to keep all the little buggers bottled up.

One must heed caution when applying this theory though, as like people: there are good hats and bad hats.

Good hats for studying: 1. Golfers Hat

2. Mortarboard graduation hat

3. Bowler hat

Bad hats for studying: 1.Sombrero

2.Beer cap

3.Motorcycle Helmet

However - the downsides of such behaviour are that you look like a dick for wearing a hat in bed, and you are being rude by wearing a hat inside.

P.S. wearing two hats at once makes you look like a massive dick, so avoid.
