〚 how to stay motivated through your studying session? 〛
11 tips to help you get it together and get that A
❥ study in intervals. don't underestimate the power of good breaks to keep you motivated to push forward. a 5-10 minuets break gives you enough energy to go on.
❥ make studying fun. this is very self-explanatory, but try to make your studying more pleasing to do. for example, you can buy a cute set of highlighters or pens or take notes in a notebook that looks nice to you.
of course, be mindful of your money and your budget. you don't have to buy expensive stationary to study well.
❥ break it down. divide your task into smaller goals. a general goal such as 'study biology' can seem daunting. However, if you break it down to 'study chapter one' and 'study chpater two' and so on makes it appears to be more achievable.
❥ find your studying style. everyone has a unique way of studying. some are visual learners or auditory learners. some learn by rewriting what they studied in their own words. try different techniques and see which makes you more efficient and stick with it.
❥ reward yourself for reaching a goal. the reward doesn't have to be anything big. maybe a piece of chocolate for completing a chapter or a cup of your favorite tea after finishing a page of your essay. make sure the reward matches the goal's size. the bigger of a goal you managed to achieve, the bigger the reward.
❥ have a specific place for studying. study in a place that puts your attention and mood on your assignments. try to keep that place clean and neat to improve your focus. remember to keep your phone away from that space.
❥ avoid distractions in your study space. your phone, your rubik cube, your unrelated notes, etc. anything that's considered irrelevant to your task at hand shouldn't stay in your space.
❥ identify your cause of distraction. is it a family member? a friend? your phone? it's better to solve it at the root. if it's a friend or a relative, politely explain that you are studying and you'd get back to them the moment you have a break. get rid of the cause.
❥ create a limit. as much as it sounds nice, don't overstudy. make a minimum and maximum amount of time you can spend studying and try to keep within that bound to help you build habit.
❥ make a study schedule. personally, I find routines to be really helpful, so if you also like creating a schedule and a routine, then by all means do it. However, some also like spontaneity. just remember to write down what you want to do and go through with them.
❥ stop comparing your results. don't compare yourself to your past and to others, especially if you are coming out of a slump. creating false expectation and unreal goals will only dampen your mood and stop you from seeing the results. a step forward is still a step. be proud of it.
