hey everyone it's stephanie here i'm a
second year of trails and student
as the term comes to an end i've also
come to a painful realization that i
might be slightly behind on my materials
and by slightly i might also be slightly
sugar coating it
and um as bad as that sounds on my part
i know that i'm not the only student
experiencing this right now so today i
am here to up my study game and since um
exam seasons are coming i thought i
would share to all of you some of my
study tips so let's just get into it
the first tip is to eliminate
distractions and to do so you must first
identify what distracts you most
and for me and i think for a majority of
people
their phones are their biggest
distraction lucky for you i have a
solution if your self-control is really
low when it comes to your phone i
suggest trying apps like forest or stay
focused which will block certain apps or
lock your phone completely so you cannot
open them in a certain period of time
that you have set on the app
for most times this really helps but
then when this does not solve the
problem and you just really can't help
yourself you must take drastic measures
i know
it's hard but it has to be done
the next thing i suggest is planning
your week or your day ahead of you but
what i mean by planning here is not
necessarily
making a schedule that is accurate down
to a single minute or hour
instead i would suggest to make a to-do
list which just sort of outlines what
you want to accomplish within the day or
the week and i suggest also putting it
from the things that have the highest
priority down to the things that have
the least priority
and in this way when you start crossing
things off your checklist you will have
a greater sense of accomplishment it
just feels very satisfying i i know you
all feel it too and um yeah that just
gives you a little serotonin boost every
time you cross something of your list
and you get more motivated to push
forward so you can do more crossing
things off your checklist
set up an incentive or in other words
reward yourself
i know studying can be hard for all of
us and
once in a while it's okay to reward
yourself say for example after you've
accomplished your task from the previous
you do list reward yourself with
something you like for me it's eating my
favorite snacks maybe reading a book or
just taking a quick nap
next i would recommend you to try a time
management system the most famous time
management system is the pomodoro
technique which is essentially picking a
task and then
setting the timer to 25 minutes
doing the whole task continuously until
the timer goes off after 25 minutes take
a five minute break and repeat the whole
process until you have four cycles of
them and when you've done four of those
pomodoro cycles you can take a longer 15
to 30 minutes break there are lots of
apps or websites to help you with these
techniques but if this technique doesn't
suit you there are also lots of time
management systems out there which is
quite similar to pomodoro and you can
just try out a bunch of them and see
which works best for you
the next tip is to ensure that you have
comfortable learning environment
start with your workspace if it's messy
and looks like this clear up all the
things you do not need and only keep the
things that you do need for your study
session
having a comfortable environment is one
thing but it's also another thing that
helps you study better is if you change
up your study environment every now and
then i do this all the time it really
helps here's me studying in a library
but sometimes i like to switch it up and
find different study spots on campus or
i just go to different cafes which is
really fun as well
so go ahead and try out these tips
hopefully some or even all of them are
helpful to you in your studies um but
keep in mind that not everything works
out so well for other people and
therefore it's important for you to keep
on trying a different
bunch of things study tips techniques
and find out which works best for you
and stick with it and just roll with it
i hope this video is useful to all of
you and if you have study tips of your
own feel free to drop them in the
comments down below as i believe that a
lot of people will also find your tips
useful

i'll see you all in another video
