Other Study Tips
Always be neat: A clutter-filled study space is not ideal for hard work and concentration. A tidy workspace can help clear your mind and improve your focus.
Eliminate distractions: Your study area should be tech-free, except for your laptop or necessary study devices! Set your phone to Do Not Disturb to keep social media and notifications from interrupting your study time.
Keep it consistent: Designate specific hours for studying and stick to them. Having a routine helps your brain focus during those times and ensures steady progress in your studies.
Stay energized: Keep snacks and water handy near your study space to make sure you stay fueled while you study. Remember, self-care is the best way to avoid academic burnout!
