How to Start Studying

Sometimes it's really hard and annoying to start studying so I've compiled a few tips that will help you to start studying:

1. clear a study space

Clean your workspace for 5-10 minutes before your study session so you’ll feel super motivated to get working. There’s something about having a decluttered desk that will make you feel so organized it will make you want to sit behind the desk & study!

2. get all the items you will need

all motivation goes down the drain when you have to get up multiple times to get every item you need so getting all the essentials before studying really helps.

3. grab some water and snacks

staying hydrated while studying is very important and you can never go wrong with snacks :)

4. get rid of all distractions

Turn off your phone or put it on DND to help you focus. Some people do study better with music but it's better to have music with no lyrics because if you are like me you will just end up singing and jamming to the song instead of studying xD

5. make a list

Write down all the tasks you need to accomplish, breaking the bigger ones down into smaller, bite-sized pieces.

6. start with something easy

The idea is that it’s something that you can just knock out without much brainpower but that doesn’t waste time. It also gives you sense of accomplishment and boosts your motivation to continue working.

7. use a system

I personally use the Pomodoro Technique. It’s great at keeping you focused. I usually study for 75 min and take a 15 min break since it works best for me. It doesn’t really matter what system you use to study – find something that works for you and stick to it.

8. make it a habit

If you turn studying into a daily habit, you won’t even have to think about starting anymore because you’re so used to it. Don’t question it, I just do it!

9. dont strive for perfection

Let that strive for perfection go, as it will take you a lot longer to finish the work. This will make your study experience less fun and more stressful which will make starting next time harder. So instead of wanting to do your work perfectly, try to focus on getting it done.

10. make it fun and enjoyable

burn a candle, put on some music, whatever helps you to get started.

i hope these are useful!! :) -love pika☁️

Quick reminder, especially for you younger undergrads: Discipline is a skill, not a character trait. And just like any skill, it can be practiced and improved upon incrementally. Try not to get discouraged if you have a day, or multiple days, where you are less disciplined than you would like or need to be. Don’t quit. Don’t spend the next week binging Netflix because you think it’s a hopeless endeavour. Just get up the next day and try again. Each day you try is more practice, and each day you practice, you’ll get a little bit better, and that continual improvement will pay dividends in the long run.

Keep at it.

I just heard of the Cornell note-taking system, it’s wonderful, so I made one template. If you think it may be useful, feel free to download and print it on the papers. I hope it can help some of the hard-workers, and this’s the reason why I post it on the Tumblr.

Good thoughts to keep in mind

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself to others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would to your life, for without them, life is meaningless. Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life. Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us each together. Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Don't run though life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going. Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated. Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily. Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery and Today is a gift: that's why we call it "The Present".

Hey I was looking at the Cornell note-taking system and it looks really good I was just wondering if you could clarify what's supposed to go in the left-hand cue column? I'm just a little confused what they meant by "cue words."

Absolutely, I'm glad that you asked, because I just realized that it was not really specific, there is "5R-method" about it, and you will understand all after you read the following information:You can use the Cornell Notes note-taking method to take better notes in any class. In the “Notes” column of the page,(well, it's the main column) take notes as you normally would in class or while studying material. In the “Cue” column, pull out key words or questions that will remind you of the information. In the “Summary” column, write a concise summary of your notes. Make sure to study and review your notes as soon as possible! The Cornell Notes method can be summarized by these steps:Record: Write notes in the Notes column.Record: After class, write questions or key ideas in the Cue column.Recite: Cover the Cue column, based on your questions and ideas, say in your own words the answers or explanations to those key points.Reflect: Think about the material. Ask original questions and reflect on what you’ve learned.Review: Read over your notes and review the material.

7 reasons why studying is better than sex, these make sense:p

[psychoempathetic-deactivated201]

I think people have forgotten that education is supposed to be a tool to help you on your way to greatness, not the definition of how great you are.

A clean desk and a cup of good tea are both good help of studying, and the most important one is closing your laptop;)

[learnmore-project]

I just want to use this to tell every studyblr and myself: Everyday you work a little harder than the average people, you will make a huge difference; Instead, you don’t think wasting a little time in a day is a big deal, you will be left far behind.
