  1. Turn that iphone onto \u201cDo not disturb mode\u201d\"Karimah<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It is amazing how easily our phones can distract us. When you
    \nschedule out a time to study make sure that time is solely dedicated to studying.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Download \u201cSelf control\u201d app on computers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      This is an amazing app that allows you to choose websites (such as facebook, youtube, instagram) to block for a certain period of time. So if you set aside 2 hours to finish that econ assignment you procrastinated\u2026 make sure to set you self control on for two hours so you cant be distracted by your favorite websites. Check it out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Make a study schedule<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Planning out what and when you are going to be studying is a great way to keep you accountable and organized with your studying.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Plan study breaks<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Your brain can\u2019t continuously study for 4 hours straight! Be sure to give yourself short 5 or 10 minute breaks to keep you sane.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Do more active studying<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Reading notes can be tiresome and the majority of the time your mind just wanders while you read. Active studying uses techniques like speaking, discussing, and drawing to help keep your mind active and is really useful when you have lots of material to memorize. A great example of active studying is testing yourself with flash cards.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Don\u2019t compromise your sleep<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Pulling an all nighter to study for your midterms isn\u2019t the best or most efficient use of your time. If you\u2019ve crammed all your studying to the last minute just go over your keys concepts and go to bed at a reasonable hour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
