Looking for new ways to revise so I can be ‘not like the other girls’ 🤭🫠
Fr tho, what are the weird ways u guys revise that actually work for you and might work for others too.
My one to share which sounds so weird but I wear my school uniform when revising on Saturdays 🫣
Listening to white noise or brown noise while studying? No, I listened to the graduation march song instead. It is just hurting my ears whenever I listen to famous background noise while studying, it's just pure distraction and none of it helps me to focus on studying.
I tried different background music to listen to while studying, classical music, horror music, etc., but the thing that actually worked for me is listening to the graduation march song on loop. It's giving me a sort of pressure but it's also a big help in giving myself the motivation to study better.
It's like imagining to myself that I need to work hard to graduate and get this degree.
after the summer break i feel like my brain is just messed up these das my studies are getting serious and am just going crazy i had my ability to focus but now am just fucked i cant focus on my work i get distracted by anything like really anything , i want to lock in and fix myself but i cant find any solution pls if any one got any method or habits they do to be able to fix pls help me
For instance, I took short notes on a 22-page biology lesson and filled up 6 pages, but I don't know if this is a good thing. I think detailed but concise notes are important, but it takes sooo much time, I don't know what to do. For example, in the Revolution History class, there are 68 slides in a single lesson. Sure, they are short, but they all basically look like separate notes already. I'd feel bad if I left even one out.
I don't bring anything technologic other than my phone and notebook to classes, I haven't found taking notes useful yet, like, what am I even gonna take note? All the things professors say are alrady on the slide notes, so I can just read it and write down on my own idk man.
I've also heard taking notes like I do, on pc then printing them on notebooks are better and faster, tho printing is very expensive in where I study so idk again.
What y'all think I should do? Sorry if I sound like a complete idiot, I just don't know how to study lmao, highschool was so much easier I only listened in the class and that worked most of the time
That reading, those notes or that article you keep saying you’ll read later...PRINT IT.
I swear it's easy to ignore materials when they’re just another pdf sitting in your laptop. You close the tab and boom! completely forgotten. But when I print something, I’ll leave the pages on my desk and I keep seeing them there like “girl you still haven’t read me”
It’s not even that I study better on paper, it’s just that I’m way less likely to forget about something when I can physically see it sitting there. Or something I can hold and feel in my hands. Especially for readings I’ve been putting off for days. Also you can avoid distractions when you don’t study on your screen.
I’ve been struggling with procrastination for over three years
I procrastinate studying for quizzes/ tests/ doing hw
Like I say “okay I’m gonna start at 9pm”
THEN I START AT 1-2am
And I end up getting 1-3h of sleep daily on school days for this
I tried apps that block
I tired telling my mom to take my phone
And I do know that if I ACTUALLY wanted to I would
But I genuinely have a phone addiction
But at the same time I have to finish my work😭
And sleeping that many hours made me also like feel sleepy most classes
Genuinely my head falls and eyes close without me knowing 😭
Also 4h of sleep? That’s a dreammm
That’s considered I slept well and I don’t feel sleepy in classes
Anyways anyone got a way to end this cycle? Please guys please 😭
What are some good ways to give your brain a break between study sessions? Going for a walk would be great, but that isn’t possible for me here. Watching YouTube videos doesn’t seem like a good idea either. I honestly don’t know what else to do besides reading, but reading isn’t really the kind of break I need.
