The early bird gets organized

Start 2 days before the beginning of the next month . If you’re scrambling to organize everything you have to do for that month the day the month starts, you’re already behind.

PICK A LOCATION

It can be your planner, your bullet journal, or your bedroom/ dorm room wall. But pick a location where you will use your monthly plan, and see it often so that you’re acclimated with it.

COPIES???

What if the only monthly plan you made suffers severe water damage? Then you’re screwed for an entire month. I i m p l o r e you to please PLEASE make a copy of your plan. Everybody makes mistakes. Everybody has those days. Don’t let that DAY ruin your MONTH.

Start with your academics

Starting with academics not only keeps your priorities in line with where they should be, but it permits you to get all your ducks in a row for your classes. Find out when they are, if you don’t have the same courses every day, so you know what to be prepared for on which day

Follow up with assessments

Academics and assessments go hand in hand. Now that you know what day everything is for this month, and when you will be having your classes, find out what assignments you have in those classes. Knowing your assignments in advance allows for more preparation, and more consequent success

Prioritize those assessments!

If one assessment is your final grade for a mandatory course, and one assessment is a vocabulary quiz, the final grade assessment needs to be prioritized over the vocabulary quiz. Make sure you are highlighting the more important assessments, so you know their value!

Do the same with homework!!!

Homework is often seen as less important that assessments, but you still need to get it done. If you know in advance what assignments you will have, put those in!

Got projects?

Projects are the bane of every individual’s existence because you think you have all the time in the world to get it done, and then they due date sneaks up on you like the plague. Not only should you WRITE IN THAT DUE DATE but separate the tasks that you have to do for that assignment and assign it to yourself as homework.

Make your appointments!

Figure out what appointments you have that entire month, and preferably before the month starts. That way, you can ensure there are no conflicts and go in with ease.

Extracurricular obligations!

Find out what obligations you have for your extracurriculars before they sneak up on you. No one wants to be out of compliance for an extracurricular, but you don’t want it to conflict with your life either.

Fit in some F U N.

Don’t make your monthly plan just boring this, and plain old that. Incorporate some hang-out sessions with friends, or a personal day (maybe two). Everyone needs that R & R.

DO IT AGAIN

what is a studyblr?

studying + tumblr

its a community of people documenting their academic journey and helping others with study tips and motivational things

why should i have one?

there are a lot of reasons but here are a few:

keeping yourself accountable

sharing your success with others

lotsa support from the community

learn how to be a better student + more effective life in general

inspiring aesthetic

get motivated

so many helpful masterposts and tips

make friends

get more focused

so much more aahh i love studyblr

essentials:

a name

get a cool url, most people just put down their name then add “studies” at the end

but you can do whatever you want, just make it your own

a goal

know why you’re doing this. 

is it to help others with content you make?

remind yourself to keep going?

take care of yourself? etc.

whatever reason you have, its a good reason to start a studyblr

a theme

have a good theme that works for your content (text-based or photo-based or a mix)

you can find great themes at one of these places: 

@bychloethemes | @caulfielld | @ciralism | @micaelis | @neonbikethemes | @neothm | @odeysseus | @pohroro | @shythemes | @skyrimthemes | @solarre | @solitudethemes | @sorrism | @theme-hunter | @vandewaal 

but there are many more that are free and amazing so go hunting, you will find one that is perfecto

what to post

masterposts

studyspo pictures

your academic achievements

study tips

quotes

etc.

basically anything related to general studying stuff

what if i’m not good enough to be a studyblr?

you are

i am a mess and i am doing fine as a studyblr

anyway, people don’t make studyblrs because they are perfect

they make them to be better students and/or to help others succeed

you do not need fancy stationary or anything either, all you need is a dedication to academics (or the goal to eventually be dedicated)

enter studyblr contests! they are great for exposure

post regularly
