Yesterday is nothing but a memory.
Tomorrow is but a fantasy.

What we have is now. And right now your competing with your room mate. Your stacking the deck against yourself. It's not a fair fight.

I have a couple suggestions.

First: I believe you need to be fair to yourself. One way to do that is to compete only against yourself. Never mind what others are doing. Begin now by setting reasonable attainable goals for yourself in your study. Meet your goals and then compete against your own success to improve your performance. There may be days you loose. It happens. Try not to sting yourself twice; forgive and try again.

Second: Your bed room is best used to relax. I suggest you fine a place (a few places) to hide when you study. This always worked better for me. Take a little time to find comfortable (but not too comfortable) places where you can be alone and concentrate. If one is taken, don't get rattled; just move on to the next. Set your goals. Challenge yourself. Measure your performance against your own performance. Strive to improve; now. Don't worry about yesterday or tomorrow.

When you get back to your room, make your own noises. Try not to stress about the work. Don't get into competitions about who is the best studier (not unless you know you can win). Relax and organize for your next competition (against yourself).

Good Luck.
