However, a bunch of students find themselves getting a case of the dreaded CAT Boredom. What is this CAT Boredom? How do we go about tackling this? Let&#8217;s jump into it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flashback!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I used to have this issue when I used to do a bunch of questions from topics that I found to be easy. My mind would crave the hit and thrill of solving a tougher question, of unraveling the beautiful solution embedded within. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/tenor.gif?resize=494%2C266&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"My CAT Boredom\" class=\"wp-image-5893\" width=\"494\" height=\"266\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I would find myself getting restless and feel the routine getting to me. This was my CAT Boredom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large\"><p>CAT Boredom is a subjective thing. When you identify what gets you nodding off, you can manipulate the variables to eliminate your CAT Boredom.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">My mind wanted to tackle the juicy, dicey, phenomenal, wonderfully challenging-type questions. I gravitated to the tougher bits to kill my CAT Boredom. That&#8217;s when I realized that this wasn&#8217;t the release clause that could eliminate my boredom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Don&#8217;t get me wrong. I was completely serious about CAT, but we are all only human, and so many students find themselves restless and bored at the prospect of solving an endless array of sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Cure to CAT Boredom?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">While creating your CAT Preparation Plan, you&#8217;ve got to set aside (for example) an hour for Quant with 10 questions from some topic, another hour for a couple of DILR Puzzles, and another hour for reading something. Remember to try and crank up the intensity to see if you can hang in there without losing your concentration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Within this plan, create a bunch of release clauses that get you to say, &#8220;Hey. This excites me. Things aren&#8217;t mundane. Let&#8217;s get cracking.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/9aef7a0f347e271159f014744d4e4c11.gif?resize=500%2C254&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"excited!\" class=\"wp-image-5898\" width=\"500\" height=\"254\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large\"><p>What are your release clauses? What gets your mind firing neurons at unprecedented levels?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Brain stagnation and lockdown are understandably not a good combination. You may find it hard to get a stressbuster or release clause when your options are limited but here&#8217;s the thing &#8211; When you&#8217;re lucky enough to have the opportunity to prepare for CAT amid a pandemic, you should be grateful for what you have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Mix it up. Don&#8217;t do the same things to remove boredom. Trick your mind, challenge it. Know when to blast your mind with stimuli, and when to rest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\"><em>What are some of your options and variables? <\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1) <em>Challenge yourself with artificial markers<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Within your CAT Preparation, set up benchmarks and mini-challenges like, &#8220;I will solve this question with the simplest solution possible&#8221;, or, &#8220;I will get through Bharath&#8217;s daily article at one full stretch&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/tenor-1-2.gif?resize=300%2C222&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"CAT Boredom - Artificial Markers\" class=\"wp-image-5900\" width=\"300\" height=\"222\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">These benchmarks and artificial markers will help you amp up your intensity, build your concentration, and eliminate boredom all at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large\"><p>When you make learning fun for yourself, how can it be boring?

What&#8217;s something you&#8217;ve always been curious about? Is it dark matter? Is it about some esoteric genre of music only you like? Or is it about your prized TV show\/novel fandom?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/tumblr_cd0c7447e1028aa58c0cf0926e33eea2_844cd6ff_500-1.gif?ssl=1\" alt=\"Reading\" class=\"wp-image-5906\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Hit that.
