How I learnt to study

During High school I was one of those students who never really had to work for my marks, I had the uncanny ability to leave my assignment till the night before and still manage full marks that is ..till I got to university, my first year was a disaster I was barely passing my units I was stressed and depressed, what got me through high school was clearly not working in university. So to stop my second year in university from being a disaster as well and to save my gpa I decided to learn how to study from scratch!  spoiler: It worked and my marks have tripled since I adopted these habits. So here are the things I started doing!

- I invested in school supplies that I NEEDED and not just for aesthetic, example I bought tons and tons of basic cheap notebooks because I knew I was going to do a lot of writing and things like flashcards. My rule of thumb was if its functional its perfect.

- I attended every lecture and every class no matter what the time was! This is essential as it saves time later when you are rushing around trying to catch up. 

- I tried to stay up to date no matter what! Before I would let lecture after lecture pile up but ever since doing this, my study life has been much easier to cope with. 

- UNDERSTANDING EVERYTHING YOU LEARN FROM THAT WEEK, I cannot stress how much this has helped me. If I am learning about a topic in week 5, I have to understand it fully in week 5, not when I am in finals week and stressing out. I use resources such as textbooks and the internet to help me understand or I will ask my teacher. The important thing is I understand it fully.

- Be organised!  Know when you have an assignment due, there are so many ways to do this. Handheld planner, wall planner, phone reminders, there is apps such as my study life. Anything that will remind you to get started on the thing before it is too late.

- Review your notes weekly or fortnightly!!! Memory works by relearning, instead of cramming the night before exams, review weeks before.

- Break down your essays weeks before its due, you don’t have to start writing them right away but at least start thinking about them.

- Utilise any free time, for example instead of listening to music on my 45 min bus ride to uni I started listening to a psych podcast or doing my readings for that day.

- Have mental health days, I found out how difficult it is to study and how necessary it is to take breaks. Studying is stressful, have days/half days where you relax and look after yourself.

-Cut down on caffeine, I was a serial coffee addict, Im talking 4 shots a cup three times a day. Cutting down reduced my anxiety and got me sleeping more, which improved my mood and energy.

- Have a study buddy/group, find someone who is serious about their study and have study sessions with them, you get to study and have a social life.

- Find a study schedule that suits you, don’t feel pressure to get up at 5 am if you find it easier to study at 6pm.

- Have a study place, that you know you will study in! It can be your local library, your desk, your bed. Anything that you find will work for you!

I have decided to share how I revise for math since math has always been one of my best subjects.

Do homework. This may not seem crucial but it is important as homework helps you to revise what you have learnt in class.

Ask when you are in doubt. This is pretty self explanatory but math is essentially a subject which builds on what you have learnt in the past. Thus, your foundation for math must be strong. Ask your teacher asap when you don’t understand the concept.

Do assessment books. Books like the ten year series is important to give you a feel of what o-level math examinations questions are like. Basically, just do assessment books to prepare for whatever major examinations you are attending for.

Revise all of your worksheets, textbook and notes. Improving math, be better at solving equations, etc is all about practicing. You can try redoing all the questions in your textbook, notes and worksheets.

Alternatively, you can also come up with your own questions simply by changing the values in a sample question.

There are also lots of resources out there such as Photomath and Khan Academy (these are the ones I personally use) which helps you to better grasp the mathematical concept.

It is the most important to remember the formulas. I usually write down all the formulas I need to remember on the formulas printable designed by @emmastudies

Math problems are pretty standard so you can try to familiarise the method used to solve certain hard problemsums.

Lastly, definitely do not try to cram math. Math has a lot of topics so it is not a good idea to study the day before.

Hi, everyone!

I am writing this post because I find it very useful to remind myself of these tips and I hope you all find this helpful too! This is a very general guide to studying any topic but I can make a more specific post in the future for how to best study for computer science courses ^_^ STUDY TIPS:

Make a plan! I find it useful to go over past assignments (especially the ones I found most challenging) and past lecture notes. 

Remain positive and optimistic. Having a good mental state and healthy attitude towards learning will help make it easier for you to learn. Slow and steady wins the race!

It is important to focus solely on the topic of study. Eliminate all distractions by closing web browser tabs that are unnecessary, have a clean desk and a clean environment, and have clean glasses (if you wear them!).

Have water to stay hydrated while studying! It is so important to take care of your physical health while studying!

Set intervals for studying. This way, you can track the duration of time you spend studying and also pace yourself.

Try to reiterate what you have learned after you are done studying. This will help with retention of information and is a good measure for how much you actually have learned.

Take breaks and rest your eyes and mind!!! Every twenty minutes spent staring at a computer screen should be followed by a break to stare at an object at a far distance.

Morning Habits Worth Starting (Especially for College)

Give yourself enough time to get ready before you have to leave in the morning. For me this means setting my alarm about an hour before the time that I have to get my foot out the door. Eat a proper breakfast, do a little stretching, figure out your plan for the day. Having a slower paced morning is a lot more relaxing, and you can get your day started correctly.

Drink water first thing. I used to be a pretty heavy coffee drinker in the mornings in high school, but I realized that I could get away with a lot less caffeine if I started my morning off with a nice glass of cold water. You’re probably dehydrated after sleeping and water helps wake you up. 

Make your bed. Making your bed is a visual reminder that sleeping time is over and that it’s time to get up! If I have a messy bed, I want to climb in and snuggle back into my blankets. This is especially true in the winters when it’s cold and dark. The movement also helps you wake up, which brings me to my next point:

Move! Your! Body! You don’t necessarily have to run through an entire yoga routine or go for a run (but hey, props to you if you do), but getting some movement in your mornings will help you wake up. I like to stretch a little bit, warm up my joints, maybe loosen up my limbs. It helps to get your blood flowing. 

Open your curtains. In the winter it might be kind of dark and depressing where you live, so this isn’t always something recommended. I like to open my curtains when it’s sunny out so I can get some natural light, which helps your circadian rhythm so you wake up better - and fall asleep at night better. 

Do something productive before your class begins. If your first class is super early, this might not apply. But I find it tremendously helpful to get something done, whether it be a flash card set, a work out, or a load of laundry, before my first class. It’ll get you into a productive mood for the rest of the day, and even if you aren’t productive for whatever reason, you can go to sleep knowing that at least you got something done that day!

Training the mind/ personal development

Ok sooo … recently I’ve been trying to teach my mind to be ok and although I know that there will be times when I’m not that, as well, is ok. The point is, I’m trying. Sometimes .. once in a blue, I’ll mention little things that I’m doing to be ok but I just want to mention that therapy is also an option if you need someone to talk to. (i believe if you’re in school (uni, college), counseling might be included in tuition) You don’t have to deal with it on your own. Below I share sources of things i’ve watched, listened to, follow, etc of where i get motivation, positivity, and tips of personal development. I know there are others out there who may feel the same way as I do and don’t know where to find motivation or where to begin. I got tired of feeling like a prisoner to my mind and decided to slowly try to find ways to tell my brain “everything will be ok.” I am no pro at this but again I’m trying. Feel free to add on! Just remember it’s ok and to take care of yourselves my loves! 💕

How to Maintain your Motivation

1. Set realistic and achievable goals. These should be something that appeal to you as it’s hard to go after another person’s goals.

2. Think of meaningful ways to reward your progress.

3. Expect to have set-backs and to encounter obstacles. When that happens, focus your mind and renew your determination. Refuse to give up.

4. Decide to be a positive thinker. Refuse to stop believing in yourself. When you feel discouraged, decide that you’ll fight on.

5. Share your goals with others, and seek encouragement when you’re finding it hard to keep going on your own.

6. Practice saying no to other options and distractions that may seem appealing – but distract you from achieving your goal.

7. Post inspirational quotes in places you can see to encourage you to work to achieve your goal.

8. Practice self care so you don’t burn out. You need to pace yourself if you are going to reach your goal.

Finals are only 3 weeks away for me.. Is it too late to study now?? (sorry for a generic question)

Not at all! 3 weeks is honestly a good amount of time! Here are a few things you could do:

make a plan - a tricky part to start but necessary! My 2018 free student printables (including 2018 overview + calendar, daily + weekly + monthly planner, 30 habit tracker, class overview and timed worklog) are an easy place to start. The monthly planner is probably a great way to begin. Add in all your important details first (like regular planning so you can figure out gaps in your time) and then you can add in study times later.

plan out each subject - so once you’ve identified the gaps in your regular timetable/schedule you can allocate time to your subjects. Since you’re off, the easiest way to set up a schedule is to follow your regular timetable. This means you have a normal start and finish time (like 9am - 3pm). You aren’t forcing yourself to study at irregular times/patterns. It is better for your mental health, physical health, etc :-) It also means you’re forced to change subjects as if you were at school. You get breaks and everything but without having to come up with anything yourself. Obviously, you could adapt this to give yourself more time on all your subjects but an easy way to start.

use the pomodoro method - this is 25-minute time blocks to work on a task. Maybe do 3 for one subjects and then move on. An easy way to simplify how and what you’re revising.

if you get bored, change methods or subjects - it can be easy to give up if you hate what you’re doing. Instead, pack the subject away and do something else. It will help improve productivity rather than making you lazier hah!

use the interleaving method - revising through each topic of a subject is important obviously but it is important to go back and review them for a second or even third time. Instead of going in the subject’s topic in order like: A, B, C, D and working down the line - make sure you’re coming back to them later: A, B, C, D, A, B, C, D.

be sure to use your free time - I would never say study every time you have a spare few times or all day every day. It might be possible but not fun lol. But, if you’ve got some extra time and fancy it, do a small bit of revision. It doesn’t have to be a long study session but say you’re in the car on the weekend, take your flashcards and read through them! Those added small study sessions should help!

Hope this helps! x
