Studyhardplayhard000 - Study Hard, Play Hard

As you all know the secret to all memorization is revision. Revising can’t always be done the night before unfortunately, but has to be scheduled. Sometimes I find scheduling my studies quite hard, especially during stressful times. Her are some resources that can help you with scheduling your studies.

My own Tips:

Don’t pull an all nighter regularly. I’ve had eye problems ever since my last one and it’s sucks because I need more help to pay attention.

If there’s enough natural light, use it. Your eyes and rest are really a priority as an nightowl.

Caffeine is like your favorite problematic movie/book/tv character. It’s oh so tempting and good when you have a little taste of it, but the long time effects are evil and might try to kill you by betray you by joining Hydra..

Sleep as often as you can. If you can, do all your homework at once, so you’d have more time to sleep and relax. Most nightowls don’t have the privilege of having an overload of Serotonin, certainly at night.

Have fun. Don’t make it studying a chore. If you really really REALLY don’t want to study, then don’t. Don’t force it on yourself. It doesn’t matter what others think about it.

Printable Study Planner

So I’ve wanted to find a suitable study planner for my needs and after searching Tumblr without a result which suited everything I needed I decided to make my own. I enjoyed making and using it so I thought I should share it. If you use it, let me know!

Tips for studying during term break

Wake up early. Not as early as during school term - term break is not a time to be waking up at 6am daily - but not at noon either. Aim for around 8-10am, so you’re not sleepy af when you start work, and you haven’t slept half the day away.

Slacken a little. Don’t overwork yourself!! I find a good method is to restrain your studying time to within your normal school hours (8am-6pm for me - which gives plenty of time to relax and watch tv shows in the evening), and study for about 2/3 of that time. This way you’ll still have covered at least several hours of work, but won’t feel exhausted :) (oh yes, if possible review your notes before sleeping to make them stick)

Scheduling. Have a masterlist of tasks to complete/goals to achieve during the break. Work out a rough estimate on how many days are needed to do complete all you have to do, and spread your tasks out evenly, preferably by weeks. Remember to work around your dates with friends (or significant others)/vacations! Keep to your goals so you have more free days :)) 

Study groups. During breaks it’s much much easier to arrange study sessions with friends. It’ll feel a lot less like you’re wasting your break, and you can catch meals with them before/after/during your session, so you’ll enjoy your study days more.

Go out/invite in/chill. It’s term break!!! Go out with your friends/get them to come over!! Or if you prefer having some alone time, have the day to yourself. At least 1 every 4 days, more if possible! If you’re part of a group activity that trains frequently, this can be skipped, but shouldn’t be.
