How I Manage to Study 15 Hours a Day

Girls in Finance project server // other posts

As I love studying, I have found some tips that have helped me throughout the years to stay efficient during long study days. I adapted these tips to my personality: I am a very loving and compassionate person, thereby I give myself a lot of support through those.

So, let's infuse warmth, love, and a fighting spirit into study tips:

Cherish Your Goals:

Embrace tasks that align with your dreams. Who do you want to be in life? Vision yourself being that person! I always look at my goals in the form of a vision board and become super happy.

2. Study time is a privilege:

Treat each moment as a gift. Sometimes we might think that we are "forced" to study. However, it is a privilege that we are able to go to uni/school and thereby work on our future.

3. Focus, One Task at a Time:

Devote your heart to one task at a time. Sometimes we do feel tempted to switch, but I would suggest staying disciplined with one subject/one task at a time.

4. Breaks are Important:

Gift yourself short breaks filled with something that motivates you: Looking at your vision board, past achievement, etc. I always look back on what I have achieved so far and that instantly makes me more motivated and gives me a clear mind.

5. Nourish Your Body:

Really do your best to keep to a balanced diet, as it has been proven that enough water and a healthy diet can increase concentration and keeps you healthy.

6. Goals, Sweet Milestones:

Set goals as gentle companions on your journey! Celebrate each accomplishment with a loving heart! You are doing so well! Really fill your heart with the happiness of achieving small goals and milestones.

7. Reflect with Compassion:

Tenderly reflect on your journey and seek feedback. There is always room for improvement. And even if you fail to be efficient at times, there is always a tomorrow and you learn from your mistakes.

That's it, remember, efficiency is not solely about the number of hours spent studying but about making the most of the time invested. <3 I love you all!! Feel free to reach out!

Hi;

How do you plan your day and ensure course discipline? I feel very overwhelmed and have difficulty in understanding, especially when studying courses such as chemistry, physics, and mathematics. And I can't study regularly.

At the same time, it is difficult to find time for yourself during the day. Do you have a suggestion for this? Thanks in advance.

Girls in Finance project server // other posts

Hi there, I genuinely appreciate your honesty about the challenges you're facing. It's totally understandable that feeling overwhelmed can make it difficult to study regularly. Here are six supportive yet firm tips to help you cultivate a fighting spirit and overcome these challenges:

Create a Structured Schedule:

Develop a daily schedule that allocates specific time slots for each subject. Prioritize the challenging courses during your peak concentration hours.

Stick to your schedule as much as possible. Consistency is key to building discipline.

Break Down Subjects Into Manageable Tasks:

Divide complex subjects into smaller, more manageable tasks. Tackle one concept or problem at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Celebrate small victories as you accomplish each task. This will boost your confidence and motivation.

Set Clear Goals and Deadlines:

Establish clear, achievable goals for each study session. Define what you want to accomplish in terms of understanding concepts, completing assignments, or solving specific problems.

Assign deadlines to tasks to create a sense of urgency and accountability.

Eliminate Distractions:

Create a dedicated study environment that minimizes distractions. Turn off notifications on your devices and let others know when you need focused study time.

Consider using apps or techniques that help block distracting websites during study sessions.

Prioritize Self-Care and Breaks:

Recognize the importance of breaks for maintaining focus and preventing burnout. Schedule short breaks between study sessions to refresh your mind.

Use your breaks to engage in activities that relax and recharge you, whether it's a short walk, stretching, or listening to music.

Seek Support and Accountability:

Connect with classmates or study groups to share the learning journey. Discussing challenging concepts with others can provide new perspectives and enhance understanding.

Consider finding a study buddy or mentor who can provide support, motivation, and accountability.

Remember, success in challenging subjects requires a combination of discipline, strategy, and perseverance. Embrace the difficulties as opportunities for growth, and approach your studies with a fighting spirit. You have the capability to overcome these challenges and excel in your academic pursuits!!! I am rooting for you!

Love, Sophia

Hello!

My school year is over and I have one month to do anything but I feel like I'm procrastinating during my vacation. What should I do. On one hand I feel like I probably won't get any break after this and on the other hand I feel like I'm wasting my time. This is the vacation after 10th grade.

You have a really lovely blog ♡

Thank you.

Girls in Finance project server // other posts

Hi there! I'm glad you enjoy the blog! Here are some tips:

1. Set Realistic Goals:

Identify a few achievable goals for the month. Whether it's learning a new skill, reading a book, or pursuing a hobby, having specific targets can give your vacation purpose.

2. Create a Schedule:

Establish a flexible daily schedule that includes both leisure and productive activities. This helps maintain a balance between relaxation and accomplishment.

3. Explore New Activities:

Use this time to explore interests you haven't had the chance to pursue during the school year. It could be anything from art, sports, coding, or volunteering. Trying new things can be both enjoyable and enriching.

4. Reflect and Plan:

Take some time for self-reflection. Consider your academic and personal goals for the coming year. Use this period to plan for the future, including potential areas of improvement or new challenges you'd like to take on.

Remember, it's essential to find a balance that works for you. Enjoy your vacation, recharge, and prepare for the next academic year with a refreshed mindset. Happy vacation! ♡ Always feel free to reach out to me! <3

My focus is not there at learning software language

But I want to

But in my head I feel blocked because I feel.I can't do stuffs and am.illlogical and I get fear

I feel I can't code what's given to me in my company.

I feel exhausted

Could you help meeeee

The thing is there is no help to seek

Hi there! I understand that learning a programming language and overcoming feelings of self-doubt can be challenging, but it's important to remember that many people experience these struggles, especially when starting something new. I also taught myself some Python and ugh...it was hard in the beginning! Here are some tips I can give you:

Break it Down: Instead of overwhelming yourself with the idea of learning an entire programming language, break it down into smaller, manageable tasks. Focus on learning one concept or skill at a time, and build your understanding gradually.

Set Realistic Goals: Define achievable goals for yourself. Start with simple coding exercises or projects and gradually increase the complexity as you gain confidence. Celebrate small victories along the way.

Practice Regularly: Consistent practice is key to improving any skill, including coding. Set aside dedicated time each day or week for coding practice. The more you practice, the more comfortable you will become with the language.

Seek Resources and Support: Utilize online tutorials, coding courses, and forums to enhance your learning. There are many resources available that cater to different learning styles. Additionally, consider joining coding communities where you can ask questions and receive support from others who have faced similar challenges.

Challenge Negative Thoughts: Recognize and challenge any negative thoughts or self-doubt. Replace them with positive affirmations and focus on the progress you've made rather than dwelling on perceived shortcomings.

Seek Support: If you're feeling overwhelmed and there seems to be no help to seek, consider talking to a mentor, colleague, or friend who may be able to offer guidance, encouragement, or perspective.

Remember, it's okay to feel overwhelmed and challenged, but with persistence and a positive mindset, you can overcome these obstacles and improve your coding skills over time!! Wishing you the best of luck. Always feel free to reach out!

Hey friend! Would you be able to give tips on how to make proper flashcards? I’m trying to make some for my anthropology class but I feel like I’m failing in doing so lol. Thanks!

Girls in Finance project server // other posts

Hi there! I hope you are having a great day! I totally understand you! I had the same issue before but managed to get out. Here are some tips for both physical flashcards and digital ones I used for that.

Physical Flashcards:

1. Clear, Concise Questions:

Pose questions on one side and answers on the reverse.

Keep questions concise for quick understanding.

2. Visual Aids, Color Coding, Bullet Points

Include relevant diagrams or symbols to aid memory.

Use colors to categorize topics or themes for quick recall.

Break down information into bullet points for clarity.

3. Personalization:

Add anecdotes, or personal connections for better retention. Maybe even add a joke haha.

Digital Flashcards: (I use those)

Choose a User-Friendly App:

Select a digital flashcard app that suits your preferences.

Popular choices include Anki, Quizlet, or Cram.

2. Multimedia Integration:

Utilize multimedia elements like images, audio, or even video to enhance learning.

3. Progress Tracking:

Take advantage of apps that track your progress and focus on challenging cards. I personally love those.

4. Regular Review:

Set a schedule for regular review sessions to reinforce learning.

I hope this helps and makes you more motivated! Don't hesitate to ask for advice. <3

Love, Sophia

Hello. One of my spring courses has given us our booklist before the semester starts (though we do not have the syllabi yet, so I'm not sure how many of these books I need to read). I'm struggling with wanting to read the entire book because the subjects are so interesting, and with only want to read what I need for the class. Any tips?

Girls in Finance project server // other posts

Hey there! I totally get the struggle between diving deep into those intriguing subjects and figuring out what's a must-read for class. It's like having a buffet of knowledge, but not being sure which dishes are the professors' favorites!

Here are some tips that I would recommend:

Remind yourself of your motivation: Keep the big picture in mind. Remind yourself of the broader goals you aim to achieve through the course. Knowing how the readings contribute to your overall understanding and skill development can be a strong motivator.

Break down your goals into manageable tasks: Celebrate small achievements to stay motivated throughout the semester. Remember that a genuine interest in the subject matter can fuel your motivation to engage with the readings, making the learning experience more enjoyable.

Prioritize Based on Syllabus: Once you receive the syllabi, prioritize readings based on what is explicitly mentioned as required or recommended. This will help you focus on the essential material for your coursework.

Identify Key Topics: Look for key topics or themes in the course description or any introductory material. Focus on readings related to these topics, as they are likely to be central to the course.

Time Management: Assess your schedule and allocate time for both required readings and additional exploration. This way, you can strike a balance between covering the necessary material and delving deeper into topics that interest you.

Stay Flexible: Understand that the syllabus might evolve, and additional readings may be introduced during the semester. Stay flexible in your approach and be ready to adjust your reading priorities as needed.

Engage with Classmates: Discussing readings with classmates can provide insights into what others find valuable or interesting. This can help you make informed decisions about which readings to prioritize.

Utilize Reading Techniques: If time is limited, consider skimming or using techniques like SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) to efficiently absorb information from the readings.

Remember that the primary goal is to succeed in your coursework, but there's also value in exploring topics that genuinely interest you. Finding the right balance will contribute to both academic success and happiness in what you do! <3

Always reach out if you need anything!

Love, Sophia

Girls in Finance project server // other posts

We've all been there – staring at a pile of textbooks with a looming deadline, feeling overwhelmed and tempted to procrastinate. Overcoming procrastination is key to unlocking your full academic potential and achieving success.

Understanding Procrastination:

Identify Procrastination Triggers:

Recognize the specific situations or tasks that trigger your procrastination.

Is it a challenging subject, a lack of interest, or fear of failure?

Break Tasks into Manageable Steps:

Large tasks can be daunting, leading to procrastination.

Break down assignments into smaller, more manageable steps to make progress less intimidating.

Set Realistic Goals:

Unrealistic expectations can contribute to procrastination.

Set achievable goals and prioritize tasks based on deadlines and importance.

Strategies for Beating Study Blues:

Create a Study Schedule:

Establish a realistic and consistent study schedule.

Allocate specific time blocks for different subjects or tasks.

Use the Pomodoro Technique:

Break your study time into intervals, typically 25 minutes of focused work followed by a 5-minute break.

This technique helps maintain concentration and reduces the temptation to procrastinate.

Visualize the End Result:

Envision the sense of accomplishment and success you'll feel upon completing your tasks.

Visualizing positive outcomes can motivate you to overcome procrastination.

Reward Yourself:

Incorporate rewards into your study routine.

Treat yourself to a short break, a snack, or a fun activity after completing a challenging task.

Overcoming Study Blues:

Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques:

Practice mindfulness or relaxation exercises to reduce stress and anxiety.

Calm and focused minds are less prone to procrastination.

Seek Accountability:

Share your study goals with a friend or family member who can help hold you accountable.

Having a study buddy can make the process more enjoyable and motivating.

Reflect and Adjust:

Regularly reflect on your study habits and identify patterns of procrastination.

Adjust your strategies based on what works best for you.

Beating study blues is a gradual process that involves understanding your tendencies, implementing effective strategies, and maintaining consistency. By taking proactive steps to overcome procrastination, you'll pave the way for a more productive and successful academic journey.
