Ways to enjoy studying ๐ฅ๐๐
- Work with a group ๐ฉโ๐๐จโ๐Studying with other people is a good way to keep yourself awake and interested in your work. ๐๐คYou can also come up with games that will help you study in a fun way, like playing โณโ30 Secondsโโฑ but using questions based on the topic/subject you are working on.
- Make your notes more visually attractive โจ
- You can do this by using ๐colourful๐ highlighters or pens, โ๏ธcue cardsโ๏ธ, ๐diagrams๐ and or by finding ways to draw the concepts**.** Your brain will find it easier to remember something that you actually enjoyed reading/looking at.
- Write notes without your textbook ๐
- This will help you train your ๐ชmemory muscles๐ช. This is known as active recall and is a fun activity which can help you test how well you can recall the information you have studied, which will also come in handy for tests/exams.๐ฉโ๐๐จโ๐
- Take study breaks ๐งโโ๏ธ๐งโโ๏ธ
- Study breaks allow you to regain your energy๐๏ธโโ๏ธ๐ช and help your ๐ง brain๐ง retain the information you studied.This also keeps you from getting tired easily. Use your study breaks to stretch, move around, drink some water or to make some tea/coffee. ๐๐งโTry not to use your phone while on your study break - as phones are a good way to turn a 10 minute study break into a 10 hour study break. โ๐ฑโ
And lastly - reward yourself for studying! ๐ฅ๐
This can be a small token of appreciation like your favourite ๐ซsnack๐ซ or your an activity you enjoy - maybe playing ๐ฎvideo games๐น or watching TV. ๐บ
This way, whenever you do study you will have the reward in mind. Good grades are the ultimate reward for studying, but a personal treat can help get you there. ๐๐๐
