Mental Health Tips-Studying

However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. –Stephen Hawking

It can be difficult to stay motivated to keep up with homework and studying. Here are seven tips to try to keep you on track.

1. Get started—sometimes this is the biggest hurdle. Motivation often comes from engaging in the activity, rather than waiting to “feel motivated” to get started.

2. Create a check list—start with easier or simpler tasks and work your way up. Remember, there is always something you can succeed at.

3. Set aside study time—be intentional with your time by setting boundaries for yourself. Schedule time to study and follow through with it.

4. Schedule breaks too—sitting yourself down and doing homework for 3 hours sounds…well, not fun. Take a break, eat a snack, go for a walk. A quick 10-minute break can help look at your studies with a refreshed mind.

5. Get enough sleep—by getting a full nights rest, you are more likely to retain more information and perform better on exams. Try going to bed early and waking up early if you feel like you need to cram, rather than going to bed late and waking up tired.

6. Teach someone—one of the best forms of learning is teaching. Try to give a “lecture” to your roommate or study buddy, if you feel like you and easily explain the content, you got it! Otherwise, review the things that you felt less confident about.

7. Find your best study spot—maybe you need a quite room in the library, or the gentle rumble of voices from the MSC. Pay attention to where you find you are most productive and study there.
