Here are some of the excellent tips which can help you organize and study better.
1. Don’t Give Your Whole Day To Studies
‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.’
Years after this was first coined, we still believe in it. Whenever you make a routine, prevent yourself from overburdening yourself. You can achieve nothing by staying up all night or having a 16-hour study day on your first day.
Start small, and then try to achieve big. As we have already said before, even if you study for two hours, ensure that they are unadulterated learning with no distractions at all.
2. Make Cue Cards
Studying doesn’t always have to be sitting at your desk, with your head in the books and gulping down information. It can be as relaxing as reading a cue card whenever you have time.
Whenever you prepare notes, also make some cue cards which give you quick recalling of the facts which you might forget. In this way, even if you miss a study session for a day, you will have enough opportunities to catch up.
3. Always Make Notes
Whenever you sit with your studies, never just read. Yes, you should free some time to read the part you will be focusing on for the hour, but start taking notes. Try to write the read portion in your own language.
This is an excellent way to remember information that you are reading and can give you a quick recollection of the next day.
4. Start With The Difficult Ones
You will find yourself in a burst of energy when you start studying. The mistake that most of us make is we always start with the subjects we like. However, with the energy, you should start with the difficult ones.
Solve some math problems, or take a look at your chemistry book.
5. Take Breaks When Exhausted
Do not time your break, because then you would only be studying to get to that break. You should have breaks in your study sessions, but only when you are too exhausted and can’t study anymore.
Take a long power break if needed; you have earned it.
6. Always Have A Routine
It is not just about your studies. You must always have a routine when it comes to it. Once you get into a habit of reading or studying, at one point, your body will automatically want it.
You can try to get into a thirty-minute challenge that will teach you how to build the habit with small achievements every day.
There Is No Tomorrow!
Now that you have it, you should have gotten into it right away. There is no such thing as tomorrow.
That tomorrow will never come.
So, get into a routine and start right away. Your books are here today, then why wait for tomorrow.
