My Study/School apps
Timetable This app helps me keep track of my timetable and sends me notifications 5 minutes before each class starts so I know where to be.
Gmail My school communicates with us through Gmail, so this one is pretty self explanatory.
Google Classroom Classroom is also accessible through a laptop, tablet or phone and here your teachers create a classroom in which they can submit material, classworks and homeworks; again, this one is so I can connect with my teachers and classes.
Google Docs/Slides/Sheets/Forms Having these apps is great because you can access it from your computer, tablet or phone and you can share, send, edit and create new documents, there’s also an option to have your documents offline so you can work on them even when you don't have internet connection, also it saves every little change you do to a document so you won’t have to rewrite your information; I use these apps to create my documents for school.
Google Drive This app is also accessible from a computer (obviously), and you can create folders to keep your documents organized and it is very easy to upload anything; I use Drive to keep my schoolwork organized by folders and to submit my classworks and important works.
Google Calendar Here important dates from Google Classroom and from shared calendars will appear and when the due date is close you get an alert on your mail or in the app so you can upload your work or simply remember what is due the next day.
Photomath This app lets you use your camera to analyze a math problem and solves it for you, it even gives you a full process so you can understand easily the formulas and topics; I use this app when I’m doing my homework and I don’t really know how to do something and my teacher is not around.
Quizlet I feel like everyone has this app but anyways, Quizlet let’s you see the content other users upload so you can have more notes if you’re lacking them or it can help you understand a topic better, there are also games for study sets and you can create your own study sets so you can study anywhere.
Tiny Cards This app is from the creators of Duolingo, it helps you practice through flash cards of images, this app is great for subjects in which there are a lot of diagrams such as biology.
How to make a study plan
Review your syllabus
Once you’ve seen what you need to do, make goals for how to handle the bigger tasks. The point of making goals isn’t to just say “This is what I want to do this semester;” it is to give you something to hold you accountable and remind you to not procrastinate.
Be realistic
Things to consider that might have been a weakness that you need to address: paying attention while reading instead of passively highlighting everything, retaining what you read after a few days, motivation to actually study, procrastinating.
Get organized
Whenever it is that you sit down to study, whether it be an all out catch-up day or the day before class, make a list of everything that you need to get done.
Motivate yourself
If you sit around and wait to study for when you’re super motivated, you’re not going to get much done.
How to be motivated
Sleep at least from 7-9 hours. When you wake up be positive and make a healthy breakfast that will give you the energy you need/want to do.
Have a goal board (write them down), whether you write them in a planner, bullet journal, an app, your notes, your calendar, a whiteboard, etc. (somewhere you can see them daily or regularly). It is most likely that you will remember them. Also, setting reminders can help you to remember your goals.
DON’T plan for tomorrow, plan for today only.
Re-read step 3. Tomorrow will never come, live and plan for today.
Encourage yourself. Have a positive attitude towards yourself. Stand in front of a mirror and tell yourself that “you can do it”, “you will do good” “you’re going to accomplish x thing”. If you say it, it’ll happen.
“omg! I hate doing this, I’ll never be able to do x thing!” Honestly, not with that attitude. Stay positive!!

How to get up early
Plan an exciting breakfast - Look forward to it
Sleep in total darkness - Melatonin, the sleep hormone is produced in the dark
Drink water before going to bed - It is relaxing and rejuvenating
Choose a blanket that keeps you warm - Best sleeping temperature is between 62° - 70° F / 16° - 21° C
Put your alarm across the room - This way you won’t immediately hit the snooze button
Do not use your phone the night before - You know why
Schedule your most important plans for the morning - So you are excited to get up and do it
Read a book - NOT ONLINE - You can’t browse away from it
