An Overload

Hey Guys, 

I am officially negative, covid-wise. And back at school. And, after being gone for so long (a week, but still.....) I had so many assessment tasks to return to. 

Honestly. And some I have to do after school (yawn).

So my question for you guys is... What are your study tips? 

I have a whole Pinterest board with study hacks and tips, and they are all super helpful, but honestly, Who has time to follow some of those ways?

So, today I will let you know what my study tips are - and, please note that as I write this post, I am meant to be revising... oops :)

Here they are... In no particular hierarchy at all. 

- Find a comfortable space. At the kitchen bench, dining table or the desk in your room. NEVER on your bed. 

- Have a bunch of pens, highlighters, erasers and sticky notes

-Invest in flash cards. They are time-consuming to write, but extremely beneficial in the long run. Study on the bus, at recess, in bed, on the toilet.

- Find a time to study. Personally, I do most of my homework in the mornings and revision at nights.

- Have a social life. Don't let homework run your life - hang out with your friends, get a job, go for walks with your family or bestie.

- Listen to music. Listen to your favourites, and just play a playlist so that you don't get TOO distracted by clicking through songs.

- Don't study for too long. Take regular breaks.

- Create a study timetable. Make blocks of 30 mins- 1h for each subject. Make about 6 blocks each night.

- Do your homework the night you get it. Otherwise, you might just forget to do it... and who really wants to explain "I forgot" to a teacher.

- Write important dates on a calendar or in a diary. Assessment tasks, homework due dates, excursions, birthdays, etc.

- FINALLY: Treat yourself. If you accomplish a week of full study, buy an ice-cream or bake some cookies.

So, what are your study tips?
