Study tips
Listen up! Work smarter not harder with these effective study tips
1. You don’t have to take notes to study. I know school has taught most people to record new information this way- but it helps to switch it up once in a while. Try recording yourself reciting what you’ve learned, or write a song to help you remember something. You could even watch a documentary about your subject.
2. TAKE BREAKS! Obviously, don’t go overboard with them (or you’ll just be procrastinating). But remember: you are NOT a robot. You need rest! It will just be counterproductive burning yourself out.
3. Find out your learning style. There is auditory, social, visual, kinesthetic, verbal, solitary and social. Research into what works best for each type. It will save so much time when it comes to revision!
4. Think about your mental state first. You can’t study well if you’re unstable. The human brain is incapable of retaining new information if it is clouded with stress and harmful thoughts. Don’t force it.
5. STOP. COMPETING. WITH. OTHERS!!!!!! If you are around people who like to compare their achievements to yours in a toxic way- cut them off. Study in peace ~
6. Be selfish. Make time for yourself. Reward your achievements. TREAT YO’SELF.
7. Stay organised - colour coordinating resources helped me. Making a timetable for your studies outside of classes is also a good idea tbh.
8. Don’t be afraid to ask for help! (important)
9. Be a few days ahead of schedule. This helps prepare for unexpected obstacles and worst case scenarios (’what essay?!’ - we’ve all been there...)
