You're close! I keep myself busy by putting all the stupid thoughts out of my mind. Remember this pattern: all the (noun)... Ex: All Japanese people are kind. I wanted to eat hamburgers, but the kids had already eaten all of the hamburgers. I try to spend my time doing productive things -- especially studying. Good job!

1 : I keep myself busy to putting the all stupid thoughts out of mind. I think your meaning is that you keep yourself busy to stop yourself thinking "stupid thoughts". Could say: I keep myself busy to stop me thinking stupid thoughts I keep myself busy to help clear my mind (of stupid thoughts) I keep myself busy to forget my troubles 2 : Things keeps me busy and it helps my mind is occupied with studies. I am not sure of your meaning. Are you trying to say your mind is occupied with studies and being busy helps you to forget that stress? Being busy (with other things?) helps relieve the stress of study. That is still a little awkward.
