INTRODUCTION

Hello, I'm your coach

Dora!
I started Instagram during my first
year of college to share study tips
and tricks that helped me. I’ve
uncovered creative ways to learn
more effectively and efficiently
which enabled my grades to
skyrocket! (3.2->3.7 GPA)

I have been working with students

for almost 3 years now so I really
love what I do! I am not sure what
life will bring, but I do know that I’ll
be drinking coffee along the way.

Knowing it’s possible to pick

yourself up is what I am most
excited to share with others
who want to get better grades,
save time, and develop strong
habits.

CHAPTER I

Why We Struggle
with Success
What does the Literature say?

A Harvard psychologist, David Achievement-oriented

McClelland studied the
concept of success and how
“Power, Achievement, and
Affiliation” drive humans to
chase their dreams. Together,
these three needs explain why
students look for ways to
improve their grades and reach
for success.
Psychologists hypothesize that
people motivated by
achievement like to exceed
expectations and find
happiness in their work.
individuals often feel
frustration, hopelessness, and
stress when presented with
temporary setbacks… or a bad
exam score. I relate to this
because I got a 62% on my first
exam in college. That is why in
this book I’ll go through three
strategies (Shown below)
which can help you hack your
brain and achieve more!

Unfortunately, these highly

motivated people also have
some weaknesses that can
discourage them if no
preventative measures are
taken @COFFEESTUDI

CHAPTER II

How A Routine Can

Change Your Life
I Freaking LOVE Routines

Having a routine is the best Personally, when I am following

thing you can do for yourself
when you are having a hard
time and seem to be struggling
physically, mentally, and in
school. Unfortunately, it is SO
difficult to get into a routine
that can really make you feel
unmotivated and down.
According to Mental Health
America, a routine is a tool
used to improve mental health
by organizing the overwhelming
everyday tasks into a pattern
that seems easier to
accomplish. That's why, when
you start to create a routine
that makes you feel energized,
things like school and work will
feel 400x easier.
a routine I feel less stressed
because I know that as long as I
follow my schedule, I'll be
prioritizing my work while also
having time to prioritize my
sleep and gym time. TBH it all
starts when you brush your
teeth in the morning and start
your day. Tomorrow morning,
try and challenge yourself to
brush your teeth and then do
something productive!

CHAPTER III

STOP Doing The

Same Things
Why You Should Change Things Up

Ok so... I know I just said how important a

routine is- but you also have to know that
you should also make it a priority to keep
life and school interesting! Oftentimes,
people get burnt out when they aren't
doing enough of what they love. So with
that in mind, you should certainly be
making sure that in addition to going to
waking up at 6 am, going to the gym, eating
breakfast, studying, eating dinner, and
going to bed... that you take some time
during the weekends to do things that YOU
love. For example, on some weekends
during school I like to go to the farmers
market with friends or go downtown for
lunch.

By keeping things interesting, you can

avoid burnout and ultimately be focused
on your school work without having to push
yourself every day.

CHAPTER IV

Small Goals and

How to Start
Step By Step...

1. Pick something to
improve
a. EX: Workout everyday
2. Workout right after you
wake up for 5-10 mins
3. Once you can workout
for 5-10 minutes every
day... increase it to 10-15
minutes every day

CONGRADULATIONS! You
have now linked a habit
(waking up) with a new, small
goal (working out)

CHAPTER V

Things I Do To
Be Successful
My Advice

To go from a 3.2 in high

school to a 3.7 in college...
here is what I changed.

1. Started going to study

groups
2. Learned that striving for
perfection was burning
me out
3. Made the most of my
time (doing work during
classes where I could)
4. Tried different study
methods
5. Adapted my studying
habits to certain classes
I was taking

CONCLUSION

This is the beginning

of something good.
Regardless of what step of your education you are in right now, making sure that
you define your version of success is the first step to finding out what you are
capable of. Not everyone has the same goals, so you should make sure you find
out what you want to improve on and allow it to be a guiding journey.

As a coach, I can only teach you so much about the tips and tricks that I use,
that's why learning how to mesh them into your routine will help make the
difference. Instead of just "wanting" to study, by making a plan, you can actually
create small, but achievable, goals that will motivate you and help create a self
sufficient support network within yourself.

If you think you need more hands on help with creating a schedule, learning how
to study, or figuring out what to prioritize... give me a DM at @coffeestudi or
