1. Hydration helps the mind so keep a bottle of water handy at your desk! 

2. Clear space, clear mind. Try and keep your space tidy. Mess is distracting, even if it is on a subconscious level. 

3. Have adequate lighting, preferably natural - it keeps you alert and strains your eyes less. 

4. Nourish your mind and body with health foods - fruit, veggies, nuts and smoothies are my go to for studying snacks. Don’t overeat however as this puts energy into digestion. Eat so you aren’t hungry, but not feeling overfull. 

5. Sleep sleep sleep. 7-8 hours is ideal. 

6. Consistency is key in every respect.

7. Revision - read, rewrite, revise. 

8. Remove distractions - put your phone on aeroplane mode/do not disturb, log out of social media/put it on do not disturb, close your door, turn off the TV etc. This is not a 24/7 thing - just for reserved study time. Focus.

9. Have breaks! Do whatever it is you do to unwind and have some ‘you time’ - preferably go outside and get some fresh air, exercise, see friends, relax!
