study method/routine:

ok so i'm not the type of person who goes "i'll just start studying and see how long i can go for", i need to have a study plan at all times so like today for example i've planned to study for ~5 hours and usually i know which hours of the day these will be

now i know this may not work for everyone but i'm a control freak so knowing *exactly* when to study helps motivate me and keep me on track. now, i divide my studying into 1 hour sessions and i take a 10 min break after each, i think this is enough time to be productive without-

- burning out and the small break helps me "save" the information in my brain better & also relax a bit before continuing

one thing i tend to do to get some extra motivation is scroll through the studyblr tag on tumblr or work on a study board that i've made on pinterest, i've found that seeing other ppl's work (especially when it's aesthetic af) can really give me a nice boost

lastly, i've just started using microsoft's to do app so i organize what i want to do into lists over there and it helps quite a bit

at the end of this thread i'm realizing i'm even more of a control freak than i thought
