Some people are early birds, some are night owls; some prefer to study with a friend, others
need complete and total silence. Experiment to find what’s most effective for you, and then
stick with it!
I prefer studying alone, myself. I always found late night study sessions beneficial until I
experimented with the early morning ones. Starting day with 4-5am always gave me more
productive days with an excessive quantity of hours stretching ahead to be utilised. Try it
sometime!
And make sure it is not your bed! Be it your study table, or just sitting on the ground by
your bed, define it. Lying on bed while studying makes you lazy and sleepy.
Keep a table clock in front of you for you to keep a track of time while studying.
Moreover, keep a water bottle aside. Drink whenever you see it, hydration is important!
Now taking break doesn’t mean you sit on the same spot using your phone; this kind of
break isn’t going to refresh you.
Get out of your study space. Go to the other room, maybe the garden.
You need to check your phone? Sure. Do it, but in another setting.
Walk a while! A little physical activity breaks regains focus and helps you resume afresh.

Scheduling/ making a time table is very important. Now it doesn’t necessarily mean you
have to write down when to eat, walk, sleep and study but what is the main concept is to
know how much work needs to be done.
Don’t make vague goals like finish “History in 4 days”. Break it into smaller goals like how
many hours you need to give to a specific chapter and which part of the day.
This way, you can reset yourself after every few hours with a new motivation.
Moreover, paste that schedule in front of you; somewhere you can see it every now and
then.
This works wonders for me. I always paste a sticky note to the wall in front of my desk with
a quote which reminds me how important this goal is for me.
“The only thing who can stop you from success is YOUR OWN SELF”
Any kind of studying needs reading a lot of material. One of the most prevalent problems
that students encounter is LOSING CONCENTRATION/FOCUS. Research says that reading
aloud helps maintain your focus, assists to ward off sleep as well.
Just a fun tip, when my reading material used to get boring, I used to read it aloud
in different accents which made it funny and easier to remember.
And if you have any of these similar tips, or you want me to talk about a specific problem
that you encounter while studying, let’s discuss it in the comments and I shall talk about it.
