There are these study tips everyone knows but almost no one uses. Maybe because you already know them and are still searching for the ultimative tip to never get bored/frustrated/stressed/etc. while studying or maybe because they seem boring. There is a reason why these tips are everywhere and you probably already know them. However here are “basic” study tips everyone should at least TRY!

1. Use a Bullet Journal or calendar to write down goals (small ones you can achieve soon), exams, tests, deadlines, etc.

2. Study at a organised and clean place. Library, at home, Café, etc.

3. Drink water/tea/juice BEFORE drinking coffee.

4. Take breaks and get some fresh air.

5. It’s better to study a little bit every day than to study all at once in one night.

6. Get enough sleep.

7. Find out which study type you are and use it!

8. Get something that makes you happy while studying. Coffee, chocolate, tea, etc.

9. Put your smartphone away. Like… really far away.

10. Listen to music. (just google which music to listen to while studying)

7 Steps for Maintaining Motivation

1. Grasp that it’s YOUR life, and no-one else’s life.

2. Decide to “live on purpose”.

3. Recognise that achievement has a price tag attached to it – and decide you’ll pay that price.

4. Work on constantly maintaining your focus.

5. Chose a skill or a field and become competent, or an expert, in that area.

6. Find other people who will hold you to your goals – and will believe in, and encourage you, to strive to reach your dreams.

7. Consciously notice the progress you are making, and remind yourself “it’s worth it” as you’re further on the path.
