13.11.18 // Tuesday ☕️

Tuesday’s are my longest days because I have classes from 9 am to 9 pm and then social drinks after my last lecture. I’m currently at the library trying to finish my article readings for language in context (not going to lie, language/linguistics are not my favourite topics). It’s for my advanced topics in cognitive neuroscience course. At least I’m spending the breaks in between lectures productively 👌🏻

School Hacks That I Found Useful

Hi everyone since I have about a week or less until my first day of school…… I am going to give you some school hacks that I have found useful during my freshman year.

1. Have only 1 planner

• For me having 2 planners will clutter my mind because I might schedule something on a certain time in one of my planners and I might schedule another thing on the same time in another planner. It is better to just have 1 planner and schedule everything there.

2. Have a Study Routine, and STICK TO IT!

- Making a study routine and doing this everyday will eventually become a habit that you will get use to and this also helps prevent procrastination.

3. Using Class Time Wisely

• Some of my teachers usually end 10-15 mins before the bell rings or I have some teachers who give us a whole period of free time. My classmates usually use this time to talk or to do things other than school stuff, but I find this time very helpful to finish my homework or make some flashcards and while my brain is still in a productive mood.

4. Stretching After A Cycle of Studying

• I find myself to be refreshed and very productive after giving myself 10 mins to do some yoga after studying and this can also help destress your body.

5. Save the Easiest For The Last

• I find that my brain is more focused during the early part of my study session so I usually do the harder things that require more focus first than leave the easy stuff for the last.

6. Exercise In The Morning

- I find myself to be very productive throughout the day if I exercise in the morning. Exercise makes my body and brain wake up and be energized.

7. Get 8 Hours of Sleep

• Whenever I sleep for 7 hours or less, I usually feel sick throughout the day and I also tend to catch colds and cough easily if I don’t get enough sleep.

8. Be Time Pressured When Answering Practice Exams

• For me, I usually pressure myself to finish the practice test earlier than the supposed time limit of my real test so that I have some extra time to review my work.

9. Reward Yourself

• I constantly reward myself 10 minutes of free time after studying for 50 minutes. I feel that rewarding myself motivates me to keep doing my work and to do better in the long run.

10. White Noise

• Though a lot of people prefer classical music to concentrate, I find that I can concentrate more if I listen to white noise sound. I preferably like nature white noise because they help calm me down and make me feel at peace or the Harry Potter Sounds from Ambient Mixer because they make me feel like I am in Hogwarts and of course that pushes me to do better in my schoolwork.

I hope you guys like this post and comment down if you want me to make a back to school haul post. Also don’t forget to check out my Youtube Channel: Granger Productivity , my Studygram: grangerproductivity and my Snapchat: grangerstudies

I find these carrels with views over Bloomsbury completely irresistible. I had a really productive morning here looking through philosophy periodicals (and daydreaming about living in those terraces)

1.Learn the most common words of your target language first. The 300 most frequently used words represent about 65% of the words of a language and the 2000 most common give you about 90%. So there’s no point in wasting your time learning more complicated words when you begin your language learning journey.

2.Use flash cards! They’re simple and effective. What’s not to love? I suggest making digital flashcards because they’re quicker to make and you’d be able to use them anywhere.

3.Practice often. Learning vocabulary means being able to say and write the word as well as recognize the word when you see or hear it. So even after you’ve learned words, seek out opportunities where you can apply them in a real life setting. This means chatting in your target language online through video chat or text message or in real life through a conversation club. You may even write journal entries in your target language.

4.Use spaced repetition. You retain information better when you learn it periodically. So rather than spending half an hour review your flashcards and then not touching them for a month, it’s better to review then in shorter intervals every day or every other day.

5.Read children’s books. Reading is another great way of learning words and recognizing them in a context. For beginners, children’s books in your target language are a great way to start. When you get better, start reading your favorite books or even the news in the language you’re learning.
