7 Study Tips Just for You!!

This week has been absolutely insane. I feel sooo overwhelmed it's simply ridiculous. It's always an adjustment going back to school, so hopefully I will be able to manage my time better in the near future. I MUST have time to blog. It can't be overlooked. So, do not fear! I will keep posting, even if my last post was 6 days ago..

Since my life has been completely consumed by school, I decided to do a post about, you guessed it, STUDYING! I'm sure that you have no desire to continue to read this after that word, but it won't be as bad as you think it'll be. I have to adjust to studying and homework, so why not to kick start your adjustment too? Here we gooo!

1. Write It Down. Schedule your study time in a planner of some sort. This is your game plan. Seeing it on paper just helps you not be so scatter brained the night before everything is due. Also, stick to your game plan! There's no use in making one if you don't take it seriously and do your studying. (:

2. Get the Right Tools. Before you start on your work, make sure you have everything you need close by. Things like a laptop, books, calculators, pencils, and notes are really nice to have out and ready to go for easy access. In the end, this will save you some time.

3. Break it Down. Take long-range assignments and break them down into smaller, manageable 'chunks'. This will make your homework seem less overwhelming. Stay organized to be sure you get each chunk finished in time!

4. Prioritize. This helps me so much. Put your assignments in order; try doing the toughest assignment first and the easiest ones last. Once you finish the more difficult assignment you will feel so relieved! If you do the harder one last you aren't going to want to keep going cause it keeps haunting your mind. AH. Try it, I think it helps!

5. Ask Questions. Before you start an assignment, make sure you understand exactly what you need to do. Ask all important questions before you start! If you don't understand you will become very frustrated trying to do it on your own. It's definitely happened to me before! Don't be afraid to ask your teachers either, it helps.

6. Do One Thing at a Time. Focus on one assignment only! Jumping from one subject to another can be confusing and distracting. It'll keep you a lot more organized too.

7. TAKE BREAKS! Don't burn yourself out by waiting last minute to study. Add a few breaks into your study time. Food, sleep and exercise are always good.. (: You deserve breaks, so take them!

Hope these help you get back in the groove! Have a lovely week at school or work or.. wherever you are.
