Study Tip - 4
When you're studying, it is advisable to take a break. I don't mean breaks which last around 5-15 mins. I mean breaks that last for 20 seconds.
Why 20 seconds?
Recently, i have discovered that when you're studying for long hours or even short, our brains are exhausted by the time we complete even a single chapter. It has too much of information to actually process it so i always use this method.
When you complete a topic, small or big. Just close your eyes for 20-30 seconds and lean back on your chair and calm your breathing. Process the information. Let everything sink in. Take out the tension. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PHONE. And then after those 20-30 seconds, just glance through the topic before moving to the next one.
How does this help?
Boosts attention.
Allows you to calm down from overwhelming emotions
Helps you process better.
You're likely to remember it more.
Helps you to study for longer hours.
Hope it helps! :)

๐Ÿญ. set SMART goals ( ๐Ÿ“’ )
make sure your goals are specific, measurable, actionable, realistic and time-bound. this will help you maintain focus and track your progress over time. how many times has it been you and your unrealistic to-do list against the world? well, it seems that a mile-long to-do list is not a good ally at all. remember that you are a person and not a machine, and that just dedicating four hours to deep work and concentration is A LOT. be kind to yourself and don't overload yourself with more work than you can humanly do.
๐Ÿฎ. daily planning ( ๐Ÿงธ )
mea culpa because i'm the first one who doesn't plan their day. to-do lists generally stress me out and make me feel overwhelmed as if i don't manage to complete all the tasks an asteroid will end up hitting the earth. but i recognize that it is a good starting point. sometimes i have too many things to do and i end up doing nothing in total confusion, but having at least a general list to follow gives me more motivation. moreover do we want to talk about the dopamine released when you tick an empty box? marvelous. maybe don't write down tasks that are too onerous and demanding, break them into several smaller tasks, also try to write simple activities such as "drink a glass of water" every now and then. having these low-commitment activities will help you stay motivated while completing more important tasks.
๐Ÿฏ. reverse-engineering method ( ๐Ÿชด )
start with the end goal and work backwards to plan the actions needed to achieve it. this helps you maintain clarity on the steps to take and focus on the most relevant actions. the best thing to do is plan based on the time available and do your best to stick to your daily goal.
๐Ÿฐ. timer roulette ( โณ )
choose a task from your to-do list and set a random timer between 15 and 45 minutes. work on that task with all your concentration until the timer goes off. this helps you fight procastination and keep your mind fresh.
๐Ÿฑ. mind mapping time ( ๐Ÿ“ )
before starting a study session, take a few minutes to create a mental map of the subject you need to cover. this helps you see connections between concepts and organize information more effectively.
๐Ÿฒ. task batching ( ๐Ÿซ’ )
group similar tasks together and tackle them in batches. for example, reply to all emails in one session rather than doing so at scattered times throughout the day. this helps you reduce transition time between tasks and maintain focus. contrary to popular belief, human beings are not truly multitasking (only a few possess this great ability) and when we do multiple things together we do nothing but shift our attention from one task to another, greatly reducing the quality of our performance. if possible, try to avoid these switches that are harmful to your focus and concentration.
๐Ÿณ. the pomodoro method ( ๐Ÿ… )
okay, y'all probably already know this one because it became so popular in the last year but if you don't, the pomodoro method is a time management technique developed by francesco cirillo in the late 80s. it is based on the idea of working for short periods of time, usually 25 minutes, followed by a short 5 minute break. after four rounds of work, a longer break is taken, usually 15-30 minutes. this technique helps improve concentration and productivity, as it breaks down work into manageable tasks and offers regular breaks to rest and regenerate energy. i personally prefer the 50/10 ratio while i'm studying but you decide which time ratio is better for you, i find it really useful and it helps me a lot while i'm studying for my exams.

how to effectively organise flashcards
organising flashcards can help you to enhance your study sessions and retain information better. here are some tips:
decide on your flashcard preference. choose between digital apps like anki, memrise and quizlet or traditional paper flashcards. personal preference plays a role here; some prefer the tactile feel of paper, while others appreciate the convenience of digital. try to keep all of your flashcard sets in the same app, or place.
use visual aids. incorporate pictures and symbols to replace text when possible. this encourages active engagement with the material rather than rote memorization.
colour coding. use different colours for questions and answers to help organise your cards and make it easier to focus on the content you're reviewing. for example, the cards for mathematics may be one colour and english may be another colour (maths is red guys, english is blue, science is green).
arrange the flashcards into order of importance or difficulty. start with the ones you find most challenging to reinforce those concepts.
develop a system for reviewing flashcards. for example, you may decide to use the leitner system which involves moving cards through different boxes based on how well you know the material.
i hope this post helps.

Personalize your space. After all, this is the place where you will experience a wide range of emotions, from moments of elation to ones of despair. So, it's important to ensure that your space is not only comfortable but also tailored to your unique needs and preferences.
Even if you're on a tight budget, there are plenty of ways to create a space that feels just right for you. So, take the time to consider what you need to make your space a true haven, and don't be afraid to get creative!

Hello!!! How did you become so dedicated to your studies? Do you have some advice?
I love your blog, btwโœจ๏ธ
Hi hi hi!! Thanks for the sweet message ๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž
My BIG study tips (after 25 years of studying):
Accept your fate. This goes for anything but I used to procrastinate with studying a LOT and once you start it's actually not that bad. It's guaranteed. Automatically once you start, you have started, so you're already on your way, so it's already automatically not as bad anymore. Whining abt ur studies and avoiding them will not make them go away unfortunately. Just do it.
Make study time sacred. A few minutes of focused study is much more valuable than 5 hours spent at the library "studying" + scrolling + talking to friends + listening to music at the same time. Doing 5 hours like that is literally putting yourself thru hell because 1. you cant fully enjoy any of those non-studying activities and 2. you come out of that being like ugh I studied this page for 5 hours I'm tired of studying I need a break. Pomodoro method really changed my life pls try it out if u haven't already
That one tumblr post that says 'learning is basically being exposed to the same materials many times in multiple ways' is 100% correct. How many different ways can you expose yourself to the material. Memorizing facts- can you draw it? Can you organize the facts into lists? Can you attach a funny story to one of the facts? The more ways you interact with any material, the stronger it's saved in your memory. Find out if you're a visual learner- and then create visual tools, maybe color coding things helps you. Do a little digging and find out what works for you.
Diversify your life. Have some hobbies, spend time with friends/family, take a break. Let the computer of your brain sort out things in the background while you do other things. Once you go back to studying, you will feel refreshed (and not fatigued from 5 hrs in the library doing "studying") This also means that if you fail an exam, you won't be like 'oh no i spent my whole spring break studying for this exam and didn't even enjoy it and now I got a bad grade i must be horrible my life is nothing' and spiral. def not based on a true story :) Instead you'll be like yeah I failed but look at this scarf I crocheted look at mee i have mental health!
Sleep is magic- no matter what anyone else tries to tell you. 1. If you studied something during the day, just review those things right before bed and magically they will get set into your brain. Also 2. sleeping is when our brain sorts info so if you don't get any sleep at all it' the same as taking your study sheets and throwing them into the air, so when you ask your brain for the info during the test it's like lol it's around here somewhere. On the other hand, if you slept and gave ur brain time to sort it, when you ask for that info, it'll just open the right drawer and give u the info!
That's it for the big ones- if you want more specific advice feel free to ask! Also as a disclaimer, these 5 are all big life lessons that I had to learn thru trial and error, so consider these to be the advice I would give myself at a younger age. Pls don't be offended lol whenever I said 'you' I rlly was thinking abt myself.

You're not always going to be motivated. So you must learn to be disciplined.

you are not responsible for your emotions. the way others treat you and the emotions this evokes in you are beyond your control. but how you choose to react is your responsibility. life won't be kind to you, but whether that stops you or not is up to you.
