If you're struggling with your schoolwork, missing deadlines and failing exams, you probably don't have a solid study strategy that will help you stop falling behind in your class. This is definitely something for more than just the university level and might work for you.

• Track how much you study over time. Track how you did on a test, this will help you see the amount of progress from what you studied to fully understand the material and to get a good grade. This will help to avoid procrastinating if you're tracking your study sessions.

• Make a complete weekly schedule of what you need to study and do a weekly review of notes. Instead of trying to randomly decide when to do these things, assign dates for each topic you need to study for each class. I make a schedule of around 1-2 study sessions per day and after studying, I make sure to review them the same day so the memory will stick.

• Use different study methods for different subjects/topics. You cannot use a single study technique for different lectures, there are classifications on what study techniques you need to use. Identify what study methods will work for each lecture you're studying.

I know this is just a simple build-up for you to study, but having a study strategy will help you keep on top of your workload and ace your exams. If you are organized and disciplined, this will help you a lot when it comes to exams (no more cramming and pulling all-nighters!)

When I started UGC, I had no idea it could be this huge The beginning was far from easy. I was learning how to create better content, pitch brands, negotiate deals and understand what actually works.

There were plenty of unanswered pitches and months where the numbers barely moved. But I kept showing up. 2 years later, I’m currently earning six figures from UGC. And that still feels crazy to say.

If you’re just starting out and your income looks nothing like this right now, don’t let that discourage you. Everyone starts somewhere. Keep creating, Keep pitching and Keep improving.

Your first few months don’t tell you what the next two years can look like. All the best :)

At night I am a completely locked in, studying, absorbing all the lectures I’m reading and doing school tasks that I’ve been avoiding for days every night.

I started going to local libraries and cafes at night to study because they’re empty and quiet. The only problem is that I don’t feel safe walking home alone past 10 PM so I always have to leave at 8 PM and go home.

If you’re a night owl like me, here’s what helped me focus while studying at night:

Kill the overhead lights. I used to study under bright ceiling lights, but they oddly made me feel alert in the wrong way. So I switched to using a warm lamp and honestly, the whole vibe changed. It feels different in a good way like I’m focusing more intentionally.

Setting an alarm before studying. I usually set an alarm at 9 PM as my official start time and I treat it like a meeting I can't skip. I think it helps me to study at an exact time because having that trigger time gives my brain a cue.

Work in 50 minute blocks. I study for 50 minutes and take a break for 10 minutes, no exceptions. In order to study effectively I used Anki and notes, so I won’t waste those 50 minutes of studying. Using those together genuinely changed how many topics I retain.

Locking my phone for an hour. Phones are the worst enemy at night especially when everyone is active on social media. So, I use Forest to lock it for at least an hour at a time. Just putting it on silent doesn't work for me because I know I can still pick it up.

Caffeine shot. This is non-negotiable. Before I start locking in, I drink one cup of caffeine and sometimes another one at the halfway point. I know it's probably terrible for my sleep schedule but night studying without coffee is just not happening.

Does anyone else prefer to study at night? To people study at morning, how do you actually study during the day when your brain just refuses to work until a certain time?
