I usually dedicate my entire Saturday to studying and completing all my school homework and tutor homework and after adopting this habit for quite a while, I’ve gathered together a few important tips that I believe are quite important if any of you guys want a full day-to-night studying day (:

Sleep early the night before! If you want to study + do homework for a whole day, you have to have enough energy to pull yourself through. By sleeping early, you’d also ensure that you can wake up early the next day, therefore having more time to study (:

Eat breakfast! Make sure you eat breakfast, because it’s definitely the most important meal of the day. Studying and doing homework on an empty stomach is honestly the most torturous thing ever (Trust me! I’ve experienced it!) and even eating something as small as an apple and can give you lots of energy. I recommend cereal or a few sandwiches (Smoked Salmon + Mayonnaise is so good!!)

Plan out the day. Before you start studying, I recommend writing down everything that you’re aiming to complete on your study day. By doing this, you’d be able to clearly know what you have to complete, and crossing off what you’ve done is such a satisfying thing!

Use a timer. I recommend using a timer (Like the Pomodoro Timer, or the Forest app which can be found here on the App Store and here on the Play Store) The Forest app is super cute because you can grow a forest made out of the trees that you create due to your productivity. By using a timer, you’re able to track when you can have breaks + get rest, which is really important when having a day-to-night study day

Motivational resources. The downside to having a full study day is that eventually, you start to get lazy or lose motivation to complete your tasks, and then that leads to you logging into tumblr and staying on the site for 4 hours. What I often use to motivate me to study again and break my laziness are motivational resources. They’re basically things like motivational quotes (Look at my post of my favourite motivational quotes here) and motivational videos (Look at this one LOL) They usually help me when I feel kind of unmotivated because it reminds me of WHY I’m studying and my reason for wanting to get good grades and complete all my tasks.
