Guide to Studying in Bed:
I study in bed relatively often. Is it a good idea? Probably not. You should prioritize your bed for sleeping, but it happens anyways so I’ve learned to try to make the best of it. The ultimate goal is to be comfy but not too comfy and nothing gets done.
Get (almost) everything you need.
Nothing is worse than having to get up and discovering you still need your textbook that’s in the other room. Collect your writing utensils, books, paper, food/water, power cords, blankets, and anything else you need to study. At the same time, you also should consider things you don’t need. Maybe you should leave your phone in the other room if you know you’ll just end up watching YouTube videos in bed. If you don’t need your laptop, keep it out of reach.
Sit up straight, in the sunlight, you blooming flower you. Avoiding the temptation to sleep is easier if you’re not putting yourself in a position to sleep. If it’s easy to fall asleep when your studying, then try propping yourself up with pillows or blankets so you’re sitting up straight. Consider setting up at the end of the bed where you don’t sleep. You don’t want to be too comfortable that you slip into unproductively laying in your bed. I like to set up next to my window so I have enough light and the conscious acknowledgement that passers by can see me studying. It helps keep me from just laying in bed.
Set some alarms. Taking breaks and getting up every once and awhile is a good idea. I’ve studied in bed long enough to know its much better when you take breaks and get up for a drink or snack and get the blood circulation flowing. Setting up alarms also helps you keep track of time and get you back on track if you’ve fallen prey to your temptations. I like setting up an alarm every half hour. You can also set up your timer for the pomodoro technique.
Ready the playlists, prepare the productivity tools. I like to study to music. I like to set up a playlist on my phone and then forcing myself to not touch the phone until the playlist is over. This way, I have my phone with me incase I have a text I need to take, but I ultimately can’t just lay down and play with it instead odd thing.
I recommend setting up a YouTube playlist or one of these 8track playlists from my Celestial Instrumental collection.
Here are some other resources to consider:
Rainy Mood - Website for listening to rain sounds.
RainRain - A free app (iOS, Google) that you can use on your phone to make your own rain mixes (i.e. the greatest rain app ever)
Tomato-Timer! - An online pomodoro technique timer
WasteNoTime - A Safari extension for blocking websites, setting certain times for unrestricted browsing, etc. I use this a lot.
Stay hydrated. It’s easy to lay in bed and forget to drink water. It’s even easier to sit in bed, study, and forget to drink water. I like to keep a thermos or large glass of tea near me. Then once I finish the drink, I’ll take a break and get up to refill it. I also sometimes like to have a small snack break but I don’t recommend snacking in bed. Firstly it’s easy to spill things in bed (especially if your clumsy like me) and secondly you should prioritize your bed for sleeping. As always, this is just how I study; these methods may or may not work for you.
that’s a genius idea!
Calculus is cool and crazy at the same time.
that was I was thinking!
How to study for: Maths
So you want to do well in the next maths test but the number just aren’t sticking in your head? Well here’s a few tips to helping you snatch a good mark for that test :)
1. Try a practice paper
I know this sounds like a strange way to start studying for a test but I think it really helps you focus on what needs work. Print off a past paper or a set of exam questions then find a quiet place at home, turn off your laptop and phone and sit down and have a go. While you’re taking the practice test, if there is a question you’re stuck on, don’t dwell on it as you’ll be able to look at it properly later.
Once you have done that, you will need to find the mark scheme and mark it in detail- not just ticks and crosses! If you get something wrong, work through with the answers to see what went wrong and how you’re supposed to get it right.
2. Pick out the problem areas and focus on them
After trying this test, write down topics in which you struggled. Hopefully this is not everything, so you won’t waste time studying everything if you have already grasped 60% of it. Try to be specific in the areas of difficulty.
Rather than writing down ‘trigonometry’, write ‘using the sine and cosine rules’. This way you are further cutting down the wasted time so you can have longer to focus on the things which need it.
Look over your notes for the problem areas. Are they sufficient? Do you understand most of what you wrote down? If you answered no to either of these questions then you should probably find the textbook or a website and adjust them so that they are.
3. Practice, practice, practice
The key to studying maths is PRACTICE! I can’t emphasise this more than that. Once you think you’ve grasped the theory behind the questions, have a go at questions- if you’re still slightly uncertain then you should start with the easier questions and work your way up to the harder ones. Don’t overwhelm yourself with the very hard questions but don’t forget about them either.
Once again, if you struggle with a question, look at the answers and write it all out. Practice these questions until you’re comfortable :)
Hopefully this advice will help you with your studying!! Good luck!
If you struggle to be better in math...
Here are a list of things that I have learnt during the last semester. It was great to reflect upon what I have done, and I hope some of these can inspire you too.
Stop procrastinating - This has always been on top of my goal list, but I am still really bad at it. In this semester (I think) I have done more than I did during the last two semesters, but I still have a great tendency of doing things at the last minute.
In order to conquer this problem, I just bought a journal to write down every little thing I have to do.
I am also using todoist app and its widget on my android phone to keep reminding myself of the tasks that I have to do.
I am planning to start my assignments right when I am told about it. Even starting a new document on it may help.
I will also try to make timeline and project plan for every assignment to keep myself on track.
I am also making sure that I will be more organised by using OneNote. I made a tab named as “general” and had assignment/reading list, timetable and more one it. This will be shown in a future post.
Be more active in asking questions - I am one of the people who are too afraid of reaching out to professors or tutors. I do sometimes ask questions, but for most of the time either I am too afraid of raising the question or unprepared to the tutorial session. In this semester, I hope to
Be prepared for each and every lecture and tutorial so that I can always have questions in mind - this is also great for absorbing the information during the lecture/tutorial because my mind would be curious about the knowledge
Active send emails to lecturers and tutors - don’t let the question i have stays in my mind
Actually go to lecture and pay attention - I always have the tendency skip lectures whenever I thought the materials were covered by the textbook. Then I realised I actually missed a lot by not going to lecture. Here are some things I want to do in the next semester:
Record the lecture using OneNote and take notes on it - it allows me to go back and re-listen the lecture if I need to
Lecture material is always the most important material for examination. Organise my lecture notes after lecture
Focus on assignments and exams right from the start - last semester I knew that I need to study right from the start, so I did do a lot of work in the beginning. The problem is, I never realised I should have done something more “exam-oriented” until the last minute - e.g. making notes that actually help me in exams. Hence I think I should:
Think about different ways to study for each course right from the start - what notes I should make, how I should read my readings and more
Write down my plan on my notebook and actually stick to it.
Review my notes during reading week to see if I can make any improvements
Most importantly, keep up with the course schedule
Good luck to everyone in school and hope this can inspire you all to reflect your study habits!
Smart and helpful tips for students!
