types of study settings

raining:

sitting close to a window, sure to hear and see the raindrops fall

candles lit, fairy lights strung, the soft orange glow of warmth surrounding you

a desk cluttered, but organised

a laptop with its brightness on low

or a journal spread open with pens ready to be used

quiet

morning:

the soft morning sunlight hitting your (note)books

the scribble of the pen scratching across the paper, writing and memorising

a cup of tea or coffee, the damp curling through the air above it

the soft rattle of music playing in the background

hearing the world wake up along with you

night:

the tired ache of your body after having lived through another day

your mind tired in a way that it won't get distracted easily

sitting down at the desk, on the couch, but steering clear from the bed for fear of falling asleep too soon

candles lit, tea made

either staying in your day clothes or deciding to get ready first

the clean feel of your face as you ready yourself for your study session

library:

walking through the rows of books to find a quiet place

hearing the murmurs of other students trying to grasp their mind around their study materials

the table in the back corner of the library, a big window in front, lined with bookshelves on either side

setting your stuff down and making that little place yours, if only just for a little while

working away, not noticing time go by, suddenly the soft glow of golden hour falls onto your work

the quiet murmurs and laughs of other students have faded away

being proud of what you've achieved

[ramonasstudying]

Good morning, loves. I hope today is kind to you. Be kind to yourself. You're doing so well. You've made it through all your bad days so far, you should be so proud of yourself. You might not be where you want to be just yet but you're not where you were. Small progress is still progress. Remember that you are loved. You are not alone. You matter. Everything will be okay. Take care of yourselves and I wish you all the best xxx

done is better than perfect

if you don't know where to even start, look for the subject requirements and use it as a guide of which topics and concepts you need to be able to recall/explain.

Don't forget to review all the exercises and exam examples you can get your hands on!

Professors are lazy, so they often reuse past exam questions ;)

Just cleaned big time so my move will be easier. Currently doing anki, then sit in a tutoring session, gym, and study Clinical Diagnosis A & B.

Study Motivators That Work

The 3 Minute Rule

When you have a task that you don't want to complete, just get started and keep going for 3 minutes. If you still don't want to complete the task after 3 minutes, stop and start another task

This method can be very challenging during the initial stages of trying it

When you procrastinate, you tend to find something else to do first to dodge the main task at hand

This rule forces you to immediately avoid any deviation from completing the task for 3 solid minutes with the option to stop after those 3 minutes

Discipline plays a crucial role in this motivation technique as starting the 3 minutes requires you to overcome procrastination

Something that helps in this process is trying to slightly mentally detach yourself from the situation to have an objective view on it

You need to look at the situation and acknowledge that you have the freedom to stop the task after 3 minutes if you truly cannot complete it and that you absolutely must start the task immediately

Often times, I keep going once I start which results in significantly improved productivity

Flexibile Schedules

Often times, I plan out the perfect study and work session with my tasks and times detailed to the second

However, sometimes, life gets in the way of these plans and I'm forced to reschedule everything

Something like this can be extremely demotivating, especially if your day revolved around your very detailed plan

To help solve such issues, there are 2 options for 2 different scenarios

The first option is to prevent the situation from occurring at all

Extremely rigid and detailed plans are very easy to disrupt

Preventing the situation would be done by outlining more flexible study and work plans that can be done at most times and don't rely on strict timings (I will post another article on creating a flexible and functional study schedule)

The second option is how to move forward if you do find yourself in a situation where your study plans have been disrupted and you're demotivated

In this instance, the first step is to list the topics you need to cover and sort them from most important to least important

Estimate how much time each topic will take and look at how much time you have available

Evaluate if the time you have available is adequate to completely cover all of your listed topics

If not, choose as many topics with the greatest priority that will be able to be completed within your available time

Remember, these steps should be completed within 5 minutes at most to prevent you from losing any more time

There's always a plan for every situation. It just needs to be found.

Justify It

If you truly feel like there's no reason to compete the task, find a reason

If the task is important enough for you to lament over it, it's certainly important enough for you to complete it as soon as possible

Clear your mind of any frustration and just relax

Think of what the purpose of the task is

Do you need to complete an assignment that will be a part of your final grade?

Do you need to complete a report for your job?

Will this benefit you in the future - near or far?

If you need to study, what is your end goal?

When I hesitate with my studying, I always remind myself that what I'm learning now will one day help me improve as a doctor

Once you identify a reason, act on it and complete the task

The reason will help you sense that what you're doing has meaning and purpose, making the task less of an inconvenience and more of a duty

Knowledge is always valuable.
