If you hired a hit man on yourself but also hired a bodyguard, your life depends on who’s better at their job.

Studying Effectively at Home // Tip one

Just because your workplace is at home now, does not mean you have to work all the time because you’re always at home! Sounds obvious, but I’ve been high-key struggling with this. I feel like I’m obligated to study all the time.

How can we overcome this? By setting boundaries and using positive triggers.

Time: time block when you’re going to stop studying and stick by them.

Space: If you can, set up a separate place for study and avoid studying in the bedroom. If you live in a small apartment and can’t do the above, try to make some positive triggers for study vs relaxed time. For example, when it’s ‘home’ time, I slip into comfy clothes, put on my fluffy slippers, put my hair down, and turn my lamp on.

Digital: using app blockers, Forest chrome extension, etc. Using separate desktops for work vs play. I have been trying to use my laptop primarily for work and my phone for Youtube/social media. 

This is a process rather than a quick-fix, but building these boundaries will help so much in the long run! Positive triggers indicate to your body and brain what is currently happening, thereby putting you in an appropriate mindset. For more on positive triggers, I recommend reading Atomic Habits by James Clear. 

Happy studying! :)
