How to become a disciplined student?

Hi guys! As promised, here is a simple, three steps method (packed with additional tips) that will help you become more disciplined.

If you apply these tips consistently a bit everyday, I promise you’ll see positive changes in your daily routine and that your study sessions will get less tedious.

1. Get yourself a planner

Or an agenda, or a bullet journal,… anything that will help you organize your days and schedule your activities.

Use it to keep track of all the things you need to do.

Additional tips :

- Use a color code to distinguish between your various activities

(For instance, here’s mine : Red = law school papers/compulsory activities ; green = sport ; pink = compulsory things that are not college related (doctor appointments, vet appointments for my pets, etc.) ; pink = domestic chores (laundry, cooking, etc.) and blue = spare time).

- If you opt for a bullet journal, decorate it as you wish, but do not lose time doing too elaborate things (not everyone is Picasso, right?)

Below, you’ll see the kind of bujo that I love! It’s neat, simple and straightforward.

- You can opt for a digital agenda and use your phone/computer/iPad to manage this BUT, do not forget that there will be times when you’ll need to switch ALL your electronics device off (= when you’re studying). So this might not be the more useful tool, but if you enjoy it, don’t hesitate using it.

P.S.: @emmastudies​ printables are just awesome to use on a daily/weekly/monthly basis! If you haven’t done it yet, check her studyblr and use her printables to build good, disciplined habits.

2. Know your rythm

As for anything, discipline requires that you know your rythm.

- Are you more productive in the morning or in the evening? - Do you feel drowsy after meals?

Always plan difficult subjects of demanding activities on the moments when you feel at the top of your capacities.

(For instance, I’m more productive in the mornings, so I always study a more difficult subject during my morning sessions. I feel sleepy after lunch, so I always plan some compulsory readings or some research at that time of the day and get back to “real” studying at around 2 p.m. And since I’m usually totally fed up with my books at around 6 p.m., that’s when I plan 30 to 45 minutes of sport).

Additional tips to become an early riser (if you’re more productive in the morning):

- Change your rythm step by step It’s no use trying to get up at 5 a.m. when you usually get up at 10 a.m.! Try to do it step by step and get up half an hour earlier every three days. Also, if you want to get up earlier go to bed earlier too. YOU NEED SLEEP to study and memorize effectively, so go to bed early if you need it!

- Have a shower in the morning and keep baths for the evening Showers will wake you up ; bath are more relaxing and will help you go to sleep.

3. Be gentle with yourself, but also learn to force yourself!

Of course, students need to be gentle with themselves. It’s no use blaming yourself because you “only” studied for 5 hours a day instead of 8 on your weekends –> progress is progress, no matter how small!

But sometimes, in order to overcome procrastination, we really need to force ourselves.

I’m sorry if you don’t want to read this, but if you want to become disciplined, there will be moments when you won’t feel like studying, but you will have to sit behind your desk, take your notes and books and start studying them.

There’s no miracle recipe here: sometimes, we HAVE TO be stronger than our feelings.

It’s hard, of course, but the result will be worth it. Don’t forget that success is at the other end.

Additional tips:

- Start at once Start studying as soon as you are showered, dressed and have breakfasted, Do not think about it: just go to your desk, check your planner/agenda, and start working on what you planned for the day.

The bigger the “gap” between your breakfast/shower and your study session will be, the more difficult it will be for you to start what needs to be done.  So, it’s better to start at once, without even thinking about it. 

Do that a few times, and it will become a real habit! 

- Take care of your study area

a) Clean and tidy your desk every night after you finish your daily work By doing this, you won’t lose time cleaning and tidying the next morning.

b) Prepare everything you’ll need for your next study session the night before Same objective here: everything will be ready for you to start studying at once! Do not forget to put an empty glass on your desk (this will remind you to stay hydrated) and to pack your fridge and kitchen with healthy snacks (fruits, veggies with hummus, almonds, etc.) that you’ll just have to grab when you want to take a break from your desk.

c) And don’t forget to make your desk area as appealing as possible Pin some motivational quotes on your wall; make a moodboard that will remind you why you are working so hard and what are your goals; put some pictures of your friends and family and imagine how proud they would be if they could see you right now!

- Try to avoid computers and phones when you do not need them

Of course, we need computers and phones to study. Most of universities and college make the study material available to students online; and some even organise online courses. Plus, many of us take notes with computers rather than with pen and paper.

But do not forget that computers and phones are the best way to procrastinate: you need to do some research on the web –> you end up spending an hour on Instagram.

So, use these devices carefully!

And if deep down into you, you know that you should avoid your computer/phone at all cost (because the temptation to do something else than studying will be too strong), then DO IT!

Instead of using your computer, take a pen and a sheet of paper and draw diagrams or mind maps with these, instead of using Free Mind (which is great, by the way, but “hand made” mind maps are too).

Same with flashcards: write them with a pen rather than with Quizlet (I love Quizlet too).

Besides training your discipline, you will train your hand. You will need this, since you’ll have to answer your exam with pen and paper (sometimes for 4 hours in a row, so your hand needs training, believe me. Otherwise, you’ll cry with pain once the exam is over).

This is my personal method for developing discipline. I’ve been using it for the past four years, and it never failed me, so I hope this is helpful to as many of you as possible!

when you find an academic source that’s perfect for your paper but it’s behind a pay wall

[deadmomjokes]

Deciding to cite it anyway base on the abstract, knowing your professor probably won’t go through and look up every source in works cited

[rootbeermolecule]

if you guys want to read academic papers but they’re behind a paywall, get the chrome extension Unpaywall. when you visit a site that requires you pay for their journal to view the article, the extension will look for other open access sites that will show you the article for free, and it’s all completely legal. all that money goes to the publisher, the writer of the paper gets none of it. https://unpaywall.org

If you can find out an author’s name, contact them. They may be willing to email it to you.For free.

[vampireromantique]

how to tell if you are part of the edgy nerds cult known as dark academia

you study at a prestigious school nobody ever heard of in an obscure city. your school looks like a castle from times past and is hidden from society, being only accesible through a forest.

you have an amazing fashion sense. you dress like a model even when you are in your dorm. it doesn’t matter that there’s nobody around because physical forms aren’t the only things you’re trying to impress.

everything you do is for the morbid longing for the picturesque.

you either drink and smoke a lot or like watching people do those things because they please your aesthetic sense (or they remind you of some tragic event from your past; and you like to be reminded of what you lost.)

you speak at least three languages. bonus points if you speak dead ones like greek or latin.

you probably study humanities, arts or languages. if you study law or other fields that are more socially acceptable in this capitalistic society, you may have a dark academia soul, but you choose not to pursue that path. (you still look back at your choice and think ‘what if’ sometimes)

you like reading classical books. you probably still live in the era of your favourite books. your way of thinking, of speaking and of being shows that you never grew out of that Romantic / Rennaisance / Antique period.

you romanticize everything. everything you do, you do with passion, you enjoy every cup of tea, every human interraction, every sunset (because if you wouldn’t, you’d go crazy).

you have high expectations of people and relationships. if you don’t feel enough passion from people, you leave. you’re either very good at taking the trash out of your life or the exact opposite (be careful, romantic soul).

you are extremely interested in ancient cultures and mythologies, especially the greek and roman one. you feel connected with those old souls that lived in times forgotten.

you lament the fact that you are not a character in a book, but just a character in your own life. you think that you would make a great tragic protagonist.

you love listening to classical music. you feel that it moves you like nothing else. bonus points if you play an instrument.

you are extremely melancholic. you sometimes sigh and look in the distance thinking about your past lives, your actual existence and the quick passing of time. this happens very often, especially in tumultuous times.

you don’t much care about such mundane things as sexuality or gender. you are what you are and you don’t care what society has to say about this.

you love the academic environment. you love being in schools or near them. you will always being a student at heart, always learning something. always studying.

you have a deep love for art. you love visiting and getting lost in museums. the bigger the better. you especially like those roman and greek marble sculptures and the paintings of men and women nakedly enjoying life.

you are down for a bacchanal in the woods. you are just waiting for other people to join you.

you still cry over the injustices some of your favourite authors like Oscar Wilde suffered.

you love talking in quotes. this is what happens when phrases touch your heart and remain in your brain forever. the effect of good literature never goes away.

you feel deeply and fully. you are either a dark byronic hero, brooding at your window, or a sensible romantic soul, trying to messily express all the love you contain in your small body. sometimes you are both dark and light.

you feel connected to nature. you especially feel more like yourself in dark, stormy weather that reflects the workings of your soul.

[princesshamlet-deactivated20210]

me reading dorian gray: that’s wilde

[dragon-in-a-fez]

adults are always talking about how “kids will do anything to get out of school” and okay, first of all that’s not true, but I think we really need to ask why that idea holds so much sway.

children’s brains are hard-wired to take in new information and acquire new skills. consider, for a moment, just how thoroughly our society had to fuck up the concept of education for it to be a normal thing to assume kids are universally desperate to avoid learning.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

couple things here:

multiple things can actually be bad at the same time

I’m 32

[bramblepatch]

couple more things:

Little kids really aren’t equipped to work full time without damaging their physical, mental, and emotional development and health, and when you play the “but adults work all day!” card you sound like a nineteenth century textile baron.

Highschoolers can easily be “working” 40+ hours a week, between school, homework, and extracurriculars and/or part-time work, and still hear this smug “:/ wait til you get to the real world sweaty” rhetoric all the time.

The original claim here wasn’t even “school is too hard,” it was “school is failing to perform its most basic function,” which is different.

[wheeloffortune-design]

from an adult point of view:

- When my work day is done, it’s done. I don’t need to spend hours each night to study or do homework. 

- I don’t have tests and exams.

- I MAKE MONEY.
