Welcome to How to Study effectively and not procrastinate - Below are some amazing tips to check out!If you have any other queries at all make sure you comment down below so we can help you and the hundreds of other people on the website to!

  • As Ruby Granger repeats in her videos-Parkinson's Law .It states that - A task will elongate to the time provided. This is a very good principle to study by and is inevitably related to study timetables.It also provides a format that you can always use when studying.For example: if you , following Parkinson's law,take 1 hour on an essay:then you can always reuse that knowledge into your timetable because as you know that essays take you 1 hour so in the future you know it will always take you 1 hour and integrate that in your timetable
  • Make To do lists: These are so helpful to use when studying and an effective way to enhance the effect of to do lists is to write small tasks that is part of a much larger task. This is great because when you eliminate tasks it makes you motivated to continue going through the list and finishing off the list but if you have large amount of tasks to complete on the list and it takes a lot of time just to simply complete the first one and you will feel demotivated that you have not done much studying when you have but it's just not recognised in the to do list. This is why it is important to create a structure of a to do list that is the motivating but not too easy to complete, you need a balance
  • You need to find your priority times that you are very productive; this may take certain amount of time to figure out but on the bright side once you have figured out what time is your most productive in the day you can be sure to put your challenging tasks in that period of time and less challenging task in periods of time where you are not as productive as that time. This also helps because you can then make a timetable for that day knowing what time you would do this difficult tasks which leads on us to the next point
  • It is important that when writing down the tasks that you have to do you must write their priority and difficulty. Their priority because you need to see what date you must get it done by and the importance of it and the difficulty because you need to see the level of effort you must put in it and the timing that you do it in, especially if you're more productive in certain times of the day.
  • Another tip for studying effectively is to ensure that when you are planning your day you must be specific with what you are going to do at certain times of the day. This limits procrastination because if you are so specific about getting a task done then you are less likely to not waste your time elsewhere.
  • A very important tip for stopping procrastination is to make sure that you know the difference between play and work. Now this may seem simple but most people do not do this.For example if you are studying at your desk and you had set a timer for 1 hour of non-stop studying but 10 minutes in you are bored so you watch Youtube video about procrastination and end up watching 2 hours of YouTube-this is not knowing the difference ! When you are not motivated the worst thing to do is watch a Youtube video about procrastination WHEN YOU ARE MEANT TO BE STUDYING! In the case above if you set a timer for 1 hour you need to study for 1 hour otherwise you will never get it done-Some people have problems with this so below are some easy to follow tips to STOP PROCRASTINATING!
  • Remove ALL distractions-If you remove all distractions then you will have nothing to distract yourself with and you end up doing work
  • Get forest on laptop for free-On certain laptops you can get it for free and it blacklists or whitelists certain websites or apps that you frequently go on instead of studying
  • And finally the last tip of this topic is to really enjoy what you are doing what your studying if you have a passion for the subject and really have a want all hunger for the subject and would not do anything else other than that so you end up being more productive!
