'I can't say 'no' to distractions'

Is this because you find it difficult to be assertive? The Frenchay Campus (Bolland) Library has books on developing assertiveness skills. Search the catalogue with keyword 'assertiveness'. Books on this subject are available in a number of sections in the library. One good place to browse the shelves is around 158.2.

UWE's Counselling Service runs assertiveness workshops from time to time. See their web site for details.
Put distractions out of reach by ensuring that you have a suitable place to study. The University Library, for example, has several types of study areas and a wide range of facilities and resources.
An inability to say 'no' to distractions could be linked to one or more of the other Obstacles listed in this section, eg a lack of self discipline. Check to see if any of them apply to you.
