Now I am at my third semester at the university, so I‘ve had a lot of time to find the optimal study routine for me. Every day in my week is different, wich is why I basically start to doing my tasks at different times (so this routine only refers to the days off that I can use for studying). Maybe you will have read or heard some tips of mine, but you can still include them individually into you‘re own routine (if you want). I hope my routine motivates you as much as it does to me! And a short information for y‘all, excuse my mistakes in english grammar, english is not the language i usally speak.

1. Get up between 6:00 am 7:00 am⏰

If I have the morning off, I try to start the day relaxed. Things that helping me to do this:

a cup with my favourite tea

drinkin‘ lot‘s of water (but I don‘t mange it it everday)

wearing my favorite cardigan (This might sound ridiculous, but I learn best when I'm wearing my favorite cardigan.)

listen to my favourite Spotify- playlists or watching Gilmore Girls 🎧 (Below I have linked the playllists i am using)

2. Create a good workspace✨

After strating good in the day, I collect all of the thing I need. These are the things I am using:

iPad + keyboard & mouse

Applepen

Airpods

notebook & pens

books (when I need them)

water or tea

I don‘t need many things because I have everything important on my iPad.

3. Get an owerview👀

To-do lists always help me a lot to get an owerview. I‘m using some Apps for this step: (but you can write it down on paper)

Actions

Structured

4. Set priorities✍🏻

For me there are 3 THINGS I have to decide between. These are:

STUDYING

First, I set myself a time limit (i can work better with this). I can learn very well with the following apps:

Forest (you won't believe me how much i love to plant these little trees)

Quizlet (this app helps me a lot when I'm studying for my final exams.)

COMPLETE MY NOTES

If you‘re a student at the university too, than you will know this. Most of the time you will get a „ugly“ PowerPoint for the lecture or seminar. For this reason I make my own study notes (with them I can lern better). When i am writing my notes i am using this App:

Goodnotes (Most of you probably know this app. I can no longer imagine my life without Goodnotes.)

DOING MY HOMEWOKS

For my homeworks I am also setting a timer with the Forest- App. During the semester I probably sit the longest on my homeworks. Since I'm studying Latin, I have to translate a lot of lectures, almost every day.

5. Check you‘re To-do lists again🗒️

When I think I have everything done, I look at my lists again & check them.

6. Tidy up you‘re workspace🧹

I always tidy up after a long study session. Believe me, it's worth it. Then next time you won't have such difficulties sitting down at your desk.

7. Go for a walk🚶🏻‍♀️

After hours of studying, it‘s beneficial to get some fresh air. (But I have to be honest, I can hardly manage it). But i‘m including this step because it should actually be done (in my opinion).

🎧My study- playlists🎧

Today's one of the last days I have with an intern student  from France; she's been working with me for the past 6 months, and I'm definitely going to miss her! So my lab and I are going out tonight for dinner to wish her farewell and good luck on everything after.

Some notes on sensory receptors and vision for my systems physiology class. Spent the weekend studying for the first module exam on the nervous, muscular and endocrine systems, which I took yesterday. It went pretty well, but I probably should’ve read the questions a little more closely. Moving on now to the cardiovascular and respiratory systems! 

My favourite part of studying is when everything I've learned finally comes together and makes sense! And doing this sort of messy mind map really helps me understand the connections better.
