How to get motivated for studying



Hey guys!

So exam season is slowly getting closer and closer. I know it's March but time is flying by really quickly and soon exams will be here. Anyway, motivation to study can be very hard. Especially with big distractions such as social media, YouTube, the internet etc. So I did some research and here are some tips on how to get motivated for studying.


  • Go outside! - You can literally study anywhere. You don't have to stay cooped up studying in your bedroom and it's more likely you'll get distracted by many things when you're in the house. So try studying in your favorite cafe or coffee shop so you'll feel relaxed with some coffee to keep you awake. However, if you prefer somewhere quiet you can study in your garden or in your local library because there you won't have any distractions and you'll be more focused on your revision.
  • Listen to music - I know studying for exams can be boring but you can make it more funner by listening to music. I'm not talking about loud, heavy music with catchy lyrics. I'm talking more softer music when I revise I like to listen to movie themes and instrumentals because that way I'm not distracted by any lyrics and I feel more relaxed. Next time you're studying try listening to the Jurassic Park theme (the longer version) on YouTube because then you'll feel much happier and it's a great theme song. 
  • Tidy your room/desk - Trust me, it will make you feel more motivated to do something productive. Even though it may take a while, do it because then you won't be surrounded by clutter when you're studying and it'll make you feel productive when you're finished. 
  • Plan your studying - I'm someone that likes makes to do lists and keep a plan of what I want to do so plan ahead. Make a to do list but don't make a huge list because that'll make you feel under pressure to do all those things in one day and you'll get stressed. Just write three or four things you'll like to accomplish during the day and you'll feel so much happier once you've done them all. It may make you want to do more studying. Also keeping a diary/planner is good because you can plan your week and month ahead of time and you can also see how much time you have left until your exams.
Well, I hope these tips help you keep motivated and if you are taking any exams in the summer, good luck. Anyway, I'll be back with another post soon. Bye guys, I love you all.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I...

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo...

Chapter Eleven

I feel like I say this at the start of every month but I can't believe how quickly October went. It felt like it was a complete blur and now we are in November. Just two more months left of 2024 which feels crazy to me cause I've done so much this year that this year has honestly been the best year for me. This month, I don't really have much planned. I actually finished my Christmas shopping a couple of days ago so I don't have any Christmas shopping to do this month which is great cause it means I can save a bit of money this month. I think I'm going to Manchester to enjoy the Christmas markets at the end of the month which I'm excited about. Plus I'm going to see the fireworks on bonfire night. Other than that, I don't really have much planned for this month. November is definitely a chill month for me especially when I've finished my christmas shopping at the end of October, it's usually a relaxing month for me. So yeah, I don't have anyt...
