#personal #I was so sad this trip #I don’t think this chapter in my life warranted a vacation #I feel like my life is all knotted up I keep asking Allah to straighten it out #my lil sis with her college job funded my whole trip #which is embarrassing #I feel so ungrateful I’m trying to learn to accept #this uncertainty is the path I chose with wanting a creative career #and just being okay with the small stuff even if the big stuff isn’t happening #I’m just not happy unless I’m working #or my work is working out #ugh inshallah Khair #also #on a random note #I need a new pose other than a peace sign

Salam alaikum ukhti. Masha Allah I adore your posts. So full of knowledge and hope. May Allah protect you. I am in need of some advise. As in I have my exams coming up soon. The thing is I'm still not able to concentrate on my studies. :( Please. Any tips?

Jazaki Allah habibti, may Allah benefit you from it and bless you abundantly 🌸

So, exams. ugh. Basically, 

1, Have a fixed time frame and stick to it; as in divide your studying sessions into intervals. So, turn off your phone, and set a timer for 30-40mins. Do nothing but study in those 30mins; if you lost concentration, pause the timer until you get back on track. After you’re done, get up and give yourself a 15mins break, and then go back to studying. 

2. Prepare your notes beforehand so when you’re studying, you’d actually be studying instead of wasting time on making and writing down notes. 

3. Make a realistic schedule. As in dont write down that you’ll study 6 chapters in 2 hours when a chapter takes 2 hours alone 😂 That’ll only disappoint you, so be as realistic as possible. 

4.  Get enough sleep, drink water and eat right; they actually affect your performance.

5. Most importantly, pray on time, don’t let your studies affect your relationship with Allah and make duaa like never before. 

Good luck, love! I’ll be praying for you inshallah. Hope this was a tad bit helpful. Jazaki Allah khair xx
