you won't always be motivated. so you must learn to be disciplined.

it does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop

study tip: listen to "who cares if i'm pretty if i fail my finals? a rory gilmore study playlist" on youtube for some motivation!

TIPS TO STAY FOCUSED

phones: keep your phone in another room, turn it on do not disturb, make your colour scheme black and white, delete apps that have you losing focus, set time limits.

set timers: set a specific time to study for, and then reward yourself with a break. for example, study for 45 minutes and have a 10 minute break; this can be adjusted throughout the day.

during breaks: do not use any devices during your 10-15 minute long breaks. instead, walk around your house, walk outside, stretch, get your legs moving. in your longer breaks, do something fun. talk to friends, family, read a book, watch a film.

sleeping: get to sleep as early as possible and try to sleep for at least 8 hours. sleep is essential to retain memories and without sleep you're likely to not remember anything.

atmosphere: keep your desk as tidy as possible, turn on some lofi music to study with or white noise, whatever suits you best. keep water beside you at all times.

i hope this helps, and i wish you luck on your study journey!

you're getting distracted again. focus.

drink a cup of water, tie your hair up, pull on your comfiest clothes, get your desk clean and ready, print out past papers, set your notes out, turn your laptop on, turn off all distractions, take out your stationary, open your books, take a deep breath, and just start.

if you know you can do better....

do better.

she's so lucky

come on, kid. this is your dream.

i'm certainly awake now

Reminder that your grades don't care that you're tired. Your grades don't care that you would rather be slacking off. Your grades don't care that you're feeling lazy.

STUDYING. DOESN'T. SUCK. AS. MUCH. AS. FAILING.

discipline > motivation

you're distracted again. close the tab or the app and get back to work.
