TOP TIPS FOR STUDYING SMARTER NOT HARDER
hey guys!
Hope your all well, this is my second post now and I thought that I would share some little tips and tricks that have helped me with studying!
Without further ado lets get into the tips:
Organisation Is Key
"Fail to plan, plan to fail"
When I heard this quote it kinda put my life into perspective not going to lie aha! It's so true though.
If you going into studying, work or any project without a plan you kinda go in directionless without a real 'purpose'. One of my biggest tips that I can ever give to someone is to plan what they are going to study. Break up exams into simple tasks that you can do each day leading up to your exam making life and school feel more manageable.

Put Yourself First
This is a hard one for me especially. It is so easy to get caught up in what you need to do next without thinking what you need to do for yourself. Look after yourself, go out as much as possible change up your working environment workout, stay healthy, hydrate etc... It might seem like an 'easy' tip but it is soooo important to remember!
Make Studying Fun
I know this sounds contradictory but hear me out on this one. I am a type of person who as soon as they get bored they zone out and stop paying attention. This unfortunately is not a very helpful trait I have. But alas I have come to work with it instead of against it.
I try to make revision as fun as possible and 'Romanticize' it as much as I can. I use pretty notebooks, make a nice study routine, buy myself a good tea when I revise, where comfy clothes, make a game out of revision stuff like that.
I'll probably do a post in the future expanding this idea a bit, give this post a like if your interested!
Find what works for you
What type of learner are you? Hmm weird question I know right! Believe it or note I didn't realise there were different types until I was scrolling Google one night found a Buzzfeed article and BAM my little learning bubble popped.
There are many different types including visual, audio and kinestetic do a quiz and find out what type you are to enhance your studying performance.
Study Smarter Not Harder
Growing up I have always been told to 'study hard' 'work hard' and despite this still being important, its better to think strategically. As before create a study routine, find what works for you, break up your revision, study in small doses regularly and you'll start studying smarter.
For example for me the best way I can revise is through flashcards and so I created Digital Flashcards (now available on my etsy) and continuously tested myself until I had learnt the entire module.
So thats it for today's post I hope you found it useful! If you did please give this post a like, follow and maybe check out my etsy store I leave a link below: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/studycafe?ref=seller-platform-mcnav
