Hi Debbie:

Did you ever read the book If You Give Mouse a Cookie to your child?  You have just described me if I try to take a quick break.  :D  If I try to do the dishes, I see the dirty floor, which reminds me to sweep, which reminds me to take out the trash, and so on... 

What helped me get through Green:

1.  Noise-cancelling headphone with white noise from youtube- gets me into "hyper-focus" mode.

2.  Studying at night or early morning.

3.  Typing out outlines of the chapter and typing flashcards (I like Quizlet or StudyStack)

4.  Dinner.  I have 3 kids under 11 and a husband who is 6'6.  I took a cue from fellow student Carmen Lassiter and started doing meal prep on Sundays.  Sometimes I cheat and get premade options from Costco (Salmon!)  It's all in neat tins in the fridge, ready to go.

Hope this helps and good luck!
