Study in Australia has become a popular destination for students seeking quality education and global career opportunities. Its universities offer diverse programs, practical learning, and strong industry connections.

I struggle a bit on studying, I know I should be searching on YT instead... i apologize for this random ask 😭

Hahaha, I never thought I would get this kind of ask, but sure!

There are many methods, depending on the kind of information you're trying to ingrain into your brain. Since the most common type of info is words, I guess I will be focusing on that (also, I'm studying German, so yeah, mostly just words)

I use STICKERS!

Sorry, haha, it's so simplified. It's just a system to manage how my brain is stimulated, I guess haha.

I use stickers as a treat for myself. After every study session, short or long, I play around with my stickers to trick my brain into thinking that there's a reward at the end of the tunnel haha.

I also started doing a journal as a way to remove any negative stigma my own brain can have towards writing a lot.

As long as I can trick my brain into thinking "writing isn't bad," then my brain wouldn't get too tired from it, and I wouldn't get bored to death.

Another thing is being aware that your brain has a limit on different types of information: words, images, sound, and "energy".

Imagine you are only able to handle 3000 words a day before your brain gives up all across multiple different media and activities of your life, ALL of it: studying, writing on social media, fic reading, movie watching, yes, even reading comments on social media counts.

Since you only have 3000 words to spend, spend it wisely. If you need to focus, spend 2500 on studying and 500 on communicating with friends and family for mental comfort. Don't waste them on social media, bruh; remove any social media with a lot of image and video noise and voices. Genuinely, it's that phone, bruh hahaha. Stimulation is expensive. I usually uninstall TikTok and FB. I only keep Tumblr because my Tumblr space is quite quiet.

If you hit your limit on words, switch to other methods of studying immediately. Either watch videos, listen to lessons on YT, or start looking at pictures. Or better yet, draw them down if there are images to memorize. Switch continuously so your brain is not bored.

And,

If you want to use a little stimulation but only use mild, white-noise-kind-of videos, like thunder ASMR videos, study with me videos, and/or unboxing videos of your interest with NO voiceover.

I usually draw, too, so I divide information into words or images. If I draw, I listen to podcasts, but if I study, I only listen to white noise. Does that make sense? The moment I hit my limit on something, I simply switch to something else.

Resting is important, too. If you find difficulty in staying focused for long hours, you can use the 20 minute study - 5 minute rest method. It's very common! Remember to stand up and walk around from time to time.

I think among these tips, the most important part is still UNINSTALL TIKTOK (nothing good comes out of it) and limit your access to other social media apps (personally, I uninstall YouTube and FB on my phone too, so the only way to access them is with my PC, which is less convenient) too.

Also, getting a friend or two to study with you is fun, but be sure to pick one who would study with you and not be distracted together, hahaha.

I am used to studying long hours by now, so I have managed to hit 7 - 8 hours of studying a day consecutively for a while, lol. It takes a while, around 2 months for me? I could barely study for 3 hours before that haha. It will take a while, so don't worry about not meeting your expectations. I mean, I only focus this hard around 1 - 2 months before the exam; no human can do this every day 24/7 for multiple years, I'm sure. (I'm so sick of studying right now)

Your state of mind is really important.

8 DAYS TILL MY BIO EXAM

feeling slightly worried.

I need to make the most of the time I have left before my exam. Today I got through a bunch of my cardiovascular disease and therapeutics lectures. I love learning about the heart and how diet affects your blood and then the effect of those things on your blood pressure and vessels. I also worked out and cooked, I’ve had a really packed day but tomorrow should be less busy so I can get more revision done.
