STUDY TIPS DURING READING WEEK
Hello everyone,
Since we have reading week coming up, sharing some tips and ideas that have worked for me and some of my friends would not be a bad idea. Personally, I know that our gadgets, and some activities that go on in our lives, may serve as major distractions during this week off from school, so I am going to try to address as much as I can.
CURBING SOME COMMON DISTRACTIONS
Try writing down some of the distractions you tend to face while trying to study. For example, if you begin to think about a movie when you are studying, just write it out somewhere, that way you can just come back to it at the end of the day.
Create a study group. Most times, all we need is motivation. Find those friends that share common goals with you and have your best interest at heart. They will not let you waste your time when exams are around the corner.
Make use of apps that help you focus. Fortunately for everyone, technology is making things very easy for us. There are special apps that are built to help you focus, just in case you find it hard to stay off social media.
Try to motivate yourself and not procrastinate. These tips I have given cannot work if you personally do not have any plans to help yourself. You need to develop the mindset that whatever you study or do is for your own benefit. Netflix and YouTube and other streaming platforms or social media are there to stay and when you pass your tests, you can go back to them.
I hope you find these useful and apply them during the reading week.
Goodluck.
