1. Find what time of the day you study best whether it is early mornings, evenings, or at night and schedule that time for studying.

2. Figure out which days of the week works best for you to study. You don’t necessarily only need to study on weekends alone.

3. Study periods don’t necessarily need to be long. Of course, this depends what course and what document you are studying. If you are studying notes, take at least half an hour after class, before class, or on breaks to run through your notes quickly. Reading your notes at least once a day helps with memorization and can save you hours of studying in the future for exams.

4. Find your study place whether it be the local library, campus library, an empty classroom, your bedroom, kitchen, living room, or friends/family members house; find someplace quiet that works for you. A good study spot can significantly impact how well you study. You can get a whole lot done, very quickly too when you are completely focused.

5. Incorporate elements that make studying more enjoyable to you. e.g. listen to music softly (maybe have a study song or playlist), use color (markers), graph and map things out-re-organize your notes, watch study videos, schedule breaks (5-10min) in between studying, get creative; make up a song, poem to help memorize difficult things.
