Semptember Study Challenge Day 7! Technically this is half an hour late, but I already typed this up once and the app crashed before I could post it. Here’s for round two!!
-Pens! I use G2 Pilot pens because I would be literally dead without them. Best pen.
-Highlighters! I only have one at the moment. Sometimes I use my copic markers instead, shhh.
-Tablet/phone! I know we’re told not to keep these near us, but I have good reasoning, I swear! I need them for…
-Habitica! This is an app/site where you make a character in an RPG and fuel them with the finishing of tasks! Every time you finish a task, you can check it off and get experience and gold. I find this is a super amazing motivator for me, so I like to keep it nearby when tackling my schoolwork.
-Neko Atsume!! If RPGs aren’t your thing, maybe virtual kitties are! I know this app was big a couple years ago, but I just re-downloaded it and I’m in love all over again. I use this as a reward for studying for a certain length of time by checking on the kitties every time I reach a goal. No matter your app choice, rewarding yourself is a big part of staying motivated- at least for me- so I highly recommend these apps!
-Snacks! This one may be a given, but I think one of my biggest distractions is sitting down on an empty stomach and not being able to focus because I want food. If you’re like me, bring some snacks before you start! That way, you won’t have to go to the kitchen and possibly distract yourself in the meantime.
-A quiet, clean space. I always took this one for granted, but setting up a desk in my room and keeping it clean has helped me so much! It may not seem like it’ll make a difference, but set a place aside for yourself. You deserve it and it’ll be a big help!
That’s pretty much all I have to say on this! I don’t have a huge amount of supplies, but these are the things I think are essential to studying in my case. I hope maybe some of the app choices at least are appealing to you guys since most of this is pretty basic. Sorry that I didn’t update on time, tomorrow I’ll have two posts to make up for it!
