Ever make a puzzle? Ever since a kid I used to be fascinated by puzzles. "First you find the corners and edges and work your way in", was a trick I used to use. I believe it still applies to learning about all of this stuff.
If you find yourself unmotivated, then go out and buy a 50 piece puzzle and work your way up to 1000 pieces or even 5000 pieces. Mix this in with your studying time. The goal of course is to condition your mind to complexity, and accomplishment. This is similar to reading first the marketing literature about a networking topic, and then, working your way up to the approved standards, RFCs, etc. Start out light... You can't solve a puzzle w/o the corners.

[7:24549] Man O Man. I'm finding it super-tough to stay motivated with all of this super-duper-heavy-geeky CCIE studying that I have to do. How do you guys keep your mind focused and your eyes straight ahead? I find it really easy to answer my phone on a friday night and talk to my buddies, next thing you know i'm at the local pub forgetting my name. I've got soo many books to ready, and soo man labs that I want to do. The light at the end of the tunnel isn't even close to being visable and it's tough. Can anyone help? btw, anyone used any audio tapes/cd's to listen to cisco type stuff during the commute to work? I was thinking about doing something like that but I think hearing my own voice speak would be enough to drive me insane. Any thoughtS?
