Start your day with deciding what your goals are for the day. Most important of all on top of the list, less important at the end of the list. This way you have a general idea of what’s important today and what can wait till tomorrow.

Breaks are very important. Taking a break every two hours will get you more focused when you start studying again. You can go outside and walk a block or watch your favorite TV-show. You can go to the gym because your brain relaxes as soon as you start to sport. Studying is reading for most of the time, so it wouldn’t be relaxing to read a book in your break.

Also very important is eating; eat healthy foods with natural proteins and a lot of fibers, so you have lots of energy to study. This will help you a long way to concentrate on your studying. Plan three times a day you will eat a big meal, than you have no excuse to not do eat. And eat fruits and nuts during the day. They contain extra minerals en vitamins so you feel awake.

Drinking water is just as important as eating. Drink a glass of water with every cup of coffee or tea. Why? Because your concentration drops at 2% fluid loss, if you get thirsty you’re already too late.

Make sure your room is clean and structured as soon as you start to study. This will help you be more focused, you know how it goes: “OMG, I thought I lost that top bus it was just lying under the bed ”. NO! You will feel terrible at the end of the day, when you didn’t study anything at all.

Studying means you’re sitting behind a desk all day and only get some exercise in the breaks. Your posture has to be in the right position all day so be alert when you start to hang down leaning on your desk.

Studying at night is not a good idea. Your brain knows it’s night time and that means it’s almost bedtime and  then you will get sleepy unknowingly.  Your brain gets activated with daylight so it’s much better to study during the day.

Studying when you’re tired will only get you more frustrated because you will not remember anything. If you really had to go to that party last night, it’s way more efficient to sleep two hours longer in the morning. This way you can start studying fresh.

Make sure you find the way you can study the best. You can study with flashcards, a lot of reading or to synthesize the material. Everybody has a way that is easier for themselves, make sure you find your own way.

Something that I’ve learned from a friend of mine is to reward yourself after you studied something big or a lot. Make sure you make up the reward before you start studying, this way you have something to look forward to.
