1. FILTER OUT DISTRACTIONS
1. FILTER OUT DISTRACTIONS • You don’t have to study in a vacuum, but try filtering distractions and interruptions out from your study environment. • Don’t be afraid to ask people in advance to leave you alone while you’re studying. • Try to reduce noise and visual distractions to a reasonable level. • If you can’t, consider a different place to study.
2. SEPARATE WORK & PLAY • Study in a different place than where you hang out or sleep - a separate study room, a library, a classroom, or a coffee shop. • Clearly designating one place for work and another for play can prevent unnecessary procrastination and distraction. • For this same reason try to keep work and sleep separate - don’t study in bed.
3. ORGANISE YOUR AREA • Make sure you have everything you need at your desk within reach, so you won’t have to get up in the midst of studying for a pencil or highlighter. • Create a one-ring folder binder per subject. • Include a revision checklist, an example of a marking scheme & past exam papers in the folders. • Use colour coded dividers to separate out the materials.
4. UNPLUG YOUR COMPUTER • Ok, you may not want to literally unplug it - you’ll probably be using it to study. • But find a way to unplug yourself from online distractions - log off from social networking and chat on your computer and phone, or use a service like Cold Turkey to block these for you.
5. THINK ABOUT YOUR POSTURE • Posture is important, especially when spending long hours studying. • You don’t need a perfect chair, but at least use a chair. • If you find yourself aching after an hour of studying, consider switching positions or seating.
6. TAKE REGULAR BREAKS • Realise you’re only as productive as your brain is - and it needs regular breaks to work at full capacity. • A simple time management method is to work for 30 minutes, take a 2 minute break, and resume work. • Use a timer, take it seriously, and see how it works for you. • Different timing works for different people, but it’s important to remember to take breaks from any studying: stretch or walk around, and return to work with a clearer mind.
7. SET A STUDY SCHEDULE • Find time that works for you during the week, and give yourself set times to study. • A schedule can be useful for breaking down a big assignment - like reading an entire book - into smaller and more manageable pieces: a chapter every other day. • Once you write a schedule, stick to it.
8. BE CONSISTENT • If you study well in a library or at home, keep studying there. • Don’t switch study places, especially close to an important deadline. • Avoid drastic changes to your study area unless necessary - don’t give yourself any new reasons to be distracted.
9. REMIND & MOTIVATE YOURSELF • Fill your space with things that remind you about tasks and motivate you to complete them. • Use a calendar to make sure you keep deadlines and important dates and a simple todo list to prioritise tasks and get things done. • Also, find small tokens and images that will motivate you; maybe a picture, or college acceptance letter will provide a bit of necessary encouragement in the middle of the night before an exam is due.
10. PERSONALISE IT • Do you study better with your back to any windows? Or facing them? • Do you like the complete silence of noise-cancelling headphones or listening to light music? • The best study environment is one that is personalised to how you study. • Make it your own, and keep modifying it until it’s perfect.
