How to become more productive

-
Make room for more productivity by implementing the following habits:  Habit stacking: It is unrealistic to expect all of your habits to change immediately. Focus on implementing minor, gradual adjustments to determine what improves your productivity and what does not. Stop multitasking: It might be tempting to try to multitask by handling many tasks from a day at once. Even while it may seem useful, this rarely yields the best outcomes. You will do each activity more quickly and at a better level if you concentrate just on one at a time, allowing you to go on without interruption to the next one. Take breaks: It may appear strange to recommend taking breaks when discussing how to be productive at work, but taking frequent breaks actually reduces stress and boosts productivity. Consider arranging 10–15 minute breaks frequently. Use this time to step away from your work, enabling your mind to relex and return with renewed motivation and fresh ideas. Start with the hardest task:...

How I built self-discipline

-
 By exercising self-control and discipline, we actually achieve more of the objectives that are most important to us. The link between well-stated and achieved goals is self-discipline.  Self-discipline can be applied to almost all aspects of life whether it is completing school assignments and homework like me or going to the gym.  -  Just Start!! The most difficult problem I encounter in my journey of building self-discipline is actually starting. This is one of the most overlook problems, I often found myself not wanting to start doing my homework because I still had time to do it later in the day but this often just ended with me not actually getting anything done. I use to say to myself that I would start going to the gym when school ended or when I had the time but this resulted in me neglecting to go. In truth, I found that there will never be a good time to start, So just start, it is simple really. When I actually got to starting my homework or going to the ...

How I study efficiently

-
Start revising earlier much earlier If you take anything from this blog, it should be that starting to revise early is the single simplest method to get better results with little to no stress. This may need you to significantly alter the way you think since when I tell you to start revising, it may seem like a daunting task. I don't mean studying a few days earlier but weeks or even months in advance, there have been a few occasions where if I knew a particularly challenging exam was approaching I would begin preparing months ahead.  Now, I wouldn't do this for every exam, but my point is that I would start revising for an exam weeks before virtually any other student and it has always yielded good results.  The barrier that most students encounter is that they don't feel any pressure to study because their exams are so far away, so my advice to you is to implement self-imposed time constraints to essentially artificially add that pressure to study Short review...

  Studying 101: Use these simple steps to go from a C to A* Avoid re-reading Reading texts or notes repeatedly is not considered to be actively participating in the subject. It's just reading your notes again, it is ineffective and not considered to be active learning. Rereading may lead to quick forgetting. Instead, try to use flashcards as it encourages active recall, from sites like  quizlet  and  Anki  using premade cards or by creating you own.  Active recall is a mental process that you use when you think of the answer while looking at the "question" side of a flashcard. In other words, rather than simply focusing on the passage in your textbook or identifying it on a multiple-choice test, you are attempting to recall the concept from scratch. Use the SQ3R Method  SQ3R is a reading comprehension approach that aids students in identifying key material in their textbook and helping them remember it.
