hey guys! happy march (sorta late, but still)!! so, I came up with an updated version of study tips out of which some may sound a bit weird but trust me, I came up with those while I was studying and revising for my finals
1. pretend like you are filming a study-with-me video to be uploaded to youtube. in that way, a statement will continuously flick in your mind that you are not supposed to get up or meddle with things during the study session
2. never multitask even if you think you can handle it. It’s not about you it is about your brain. I’d recommend not to turn the background music on while studying because your brain then won’t be able to coordinate two stuff together and will definitely get jeopardized
3. if you have role models then this tip’s just for you. Write all the qualities that you admire in your role model (s) amalgamated with each of their traits’ corresponding examples of their works, in a notebook. You can keep it aside during your study session and whenever you feel like you can observe it as a motivation-fuel
4. keep a neko notebook. I know this term might sound new to you but it’s basically just a notebook where you write down all the things that are distracting you for the moment. For example: while doing math problems you look up and see you newly decorated room or you start thinking about your school friends; so you write down in your neko notebook “newly decorated room” and “call friends”. You can deal with that two tasks later on
5. focus on now. Don’t worry about your past or your future. I know in case of future, it does sound a bit urgent but ignore that during your study session, especially if you’re having a mental trauma like me since that leads to nothing but stress and burnout
6. think of someone whom you’re absolutely afraid of. You science/maths/history teacher,etc. before you sit for studying. In that way, you won’t stay out of your mind
7.make studying fun!! There’s nothing boring in the world than to go through plain black and white texts like a million times. Why do we get stuck up in tv/computer/laptop for 2-3 hrs straight? Its because it’s fun, interesting and most of all our minds get soaked into it. Make your study session fun, interactive and mind-sucking like using your studyblr, quizlet, different color coding with highlighters, type in your notes with different colors and your own fonts, or even better, find a study buddy!
8. student-y apps to help you!!
So I hope you found these tips useful. I hope you’re having a great day so far and as usual feel free to add more
