Guide to studying efficiently

Have an assigned space for your study time, make sure it's physically comfortable, accessible, clean, and receives plenty of sunlight/light

Take the time to try out and find a pen that you find the most comfortable

Take Handwritten notes in an expensive notebook because you'll subconsciously feel compelled to make the most of your money

Turn off notifications and put your devices out of view when you study.

If you use a laptop/pc while studying, keep your desktop organized, use abstract art as your wallpaper as opposed to photos of fictional characters/celebrities/pop culture content

If you use the internet and need to mark web pages, make good use of bookmarking/reading list features on browsers, change your browser homepage to your study website

If you usually need to download a lot of materials, make subfolders in the downloads folder beforehand so you can organize potential clutter

PS. Some useful apps for studying:

Grammarly

Pocket

Forest
