1. write down how much you study over time, then write down how you did on the quiz/test. this will help you see the amount of studying is nessecary for you to get a good grade and fully learn the material!!!

2. make your study space smell fresh, preferably of mint. mint helps you focus and stay sharp. other good smells would be lemon, etc.

3. after studying for a long amount of time, go exercise for ~30 min. shower, get dressed, etc then review the info you had just been studying! you should come back fresher, and your brain is able to remember the info even better!

4. don’t always study in comfy/pj clothes. if you study a lot after school or classes, then it’s ok. but if all you plan on doing is studying for that day, for part of the day get dressed up! put on some business casual wear, that’s cute yet functional and do your hair, etc. this will put you in a “get shit done” mode.

5. after studying a unit/chapter, record yourself explaining it, as if to a person whose never heard of it. this helps SO MUCH. one, explaining/teaching helps you learn so much better, and two, you have a little video to review just before the test!!

Hello! I’m sorry for answering so late, I feel like this is quite a broad topic to answer :D I will try to keep it short.

Now, I still have a bit of a problem being an organized person myself but there are some things that I do to at least create the illusion of some sort of an organization :D (but they are quite helpful so don’t worry):

- tidy up your workspace - I’ve noticed that having a clean desk helps me a lot when I’m supposed to work on something. Now, I’m not good at keeping my desk neat all the time but once in a while I do this great cleanup - I take EVERYTHING away from the desk surface, dust it, wipe all of the possible stains. Meanwhile, I divide all of the stuff I had on my desk into a few groups - trash, things that aren’t supposed to be in my room, things that can be somewhere else in my room, and the things that are going back on the desk. I try to keep the last group as small as possible. Then I put everything to it’s place, light up a scented candle, and feel much much better and a bit more organized.

- keep a planner - what would I do without my bullet journal :D. This thing has helped me A LOT with organization. But even before I knew what a bujo is, I kept a little planner and wrote all the important exams, homeworks, essay and project deadlines, etc there. This way, I didn’t forget about anything. It even helps to have a little table calendar and write the due dates there - my mum has been doing this her whole life and thanks to her system, my brother and I were never late to any doctor appointment :D

- make a to-do list - you may not be a fan of this whole bullet journal thing, but making a small to-do list of all the things you need to do either over some holidays or till the end of the semester can be really helpful. You’ll have all the tasks in one place so it will be easier to plan when to do a certain thing. Also, you can sort the tasks according to their importance and urgency. (aand it’s a great feeling when you finish a task and can cross it off of the list :D)
