@sarahrav: It’s never too late for an academic comeback! 📚💯🧠👩🏼‍🎓 - 1️⃣ Use Active Study Techniques - these are study methods that force you to engage with the content, doing some sort of physical or mental process. 🤓 It leads to greater retention of info, understanding, and ability to apply theory! It also means that you can learn SO MUCH MORE in MUCH LESS time. ✅ . Examples include: 🧠 Active Recall (e.g. Flashcards, Blurting, Application Questions) 🧠 Mind-Maps & Drawing Diagrams 🧠 Teaching The Material to Others 🧠 Loci Method 🧠 Practice Exams . 2️⃣ Plan Your Study Sessions - by planning your study sessions out before you start, you will be able to prioritise what needs to be done, stay on track, and even get additional benefits without more time studying! . To make sure your study session is the best it can be: ⏰ Use time-blocking (allocate a set amount of time for each activity, to create a sense of urgency. Otherwise it will expand to fill the whole time) ⏰ Start with a quick-win (easy subject or small homework task)to get the dopamine flowing; then move onto your most challenging topic whilst energy levels & focus is still high ⏰ Interleave your subjects by studying smaller blocks of multiple subjects rather than 1 big block of one subject (e.g. 1 hour each of Math, Science, English rather than 3 hours of Math). This will help you remember MORE and perform better on exams, as proven by research 👏🏽 . 3️⃣ Use Focus Hacks 📵 - these are any technique that help you eliminate distractions and ensure you’re thinking only about the work in front of you to maximise focus and retention. . My favourite ways to do this are: 💯 Study Timelapse 💯 Lofi-Beats & noise cancelling headphones 💯 Quiet, low-stimulus environment (e.g. library, dedicated study room) 💯 Chew gum (it actually works!) 💯 App Blockers/Downtime settings on your phone . - #studytips #studyhacks #studytok #academiccomeback #studysmart #studymotivation
