- put your phone on silent and put it across the room
- listen to classical/soundtrack music without lyrics
- make index cards for important vocab
- wear pajamas
- make diagrams and pictures. they don’t have to look pretty, as long as you understand it
- make timelines for historical events
- have a light snack
- drink coffee or tea to keep you going
- take a break every hour or so
- have one pencil/black pen and one colored pen or highlighter. anything more will just distract you. the aesthetics aren’t important, your knowledge is
- don’t be afraid to email/message your teacher or a classmate if you don’t understand something. the last thing you want to do is learn the incorrect information
- know that sleep and health is more important than your grade. you cannot perform as well on a test if you are tired or sick. take care of yourself
- it’s not a race. it’s not about who can learn something in the quickest time, it’s about learning
- take a deep breath
- prioritize your homework by how long it will take you and when it’s due
- plan some you time in between studying and school
- if you’re mentally exhausted, set a timer for 30 minutes and take a nap. any longer and you’ll wake up even more tired
- don’t understand something? that’s perfectly fine, don’t stress over it. ask for help rather than complaining
- have a goal in mind and write them down. say things like “i am getting an education so i can get the job of my dreams. the life that i want. the happiness that i deserve”
- be thankful. it is a privilege that you get to go to school and get an education.
- you got this.
