Better Studying Session
At any point in time in your life, you would need to focus and concentrate on tasks, be it studying or working. You and I are very different people and that includes the way we think, feel and act. There are several learning patterns that have been identified by careful studies, and they have proven that many have different approaches when it comes to studying. If you are a visual learner, you’d usually opt for documentaries or graphical books; and if you are an auditory learner, you’d prefer podcasts over academic journals and news reports over newspapers. All in all, cramping in a studying session regardless of the way you study is essential to productivity. You may as well sit there for a whole afternoon and only realise after that you digested your lunch but not the things you read.
Here are a couple of quick tips that can make your studying session more enjoyable:
1. Be cool! We would only be able to concentrate completely if we are in an environment where our physical and mental aspects are in their element. If you study in a stuffy room, more often than not you would feel sluggish and sleepy. If you are in a very cold room, you would be looking for a sip, as your throat would feel dry quickly. Set yourself in an area where you would have the proper temperature setting, proper furniture, proper sitting posture, enough working area and especially, enough lighting to cover your work area.
2. Glurp! Water is essential to our lives and we would often neglect it when we are focusing on our work. Hence, it is important to place your water bottle or a jug of water where you would study so you are reminded to have a drink now and then. Feeling thirsty isn’t going to help you feel comfortable, needless to say make you feel refreshed and energised!
3. Snack attack! Having a bite at the study table is a GREAT way to focus! What would be a better companion than quick little bites that you can chomp down while trying to go through all those math workings! Don’t feast yourself with a platter of chips and crackers though, opt for healthier options like fruits or nuts, you may even adopt a nutritional habit through this!
4. 1..2..3…4! Not rock music, try calm and relaxing music the next time you study. Allow yourself to empty your mind, settle your emotions and head in the game for your studying session. Many people find that silence is eerie to them especially when they’re studying alone. Hence, having soft and subtle music in the background may keep your brain’s responses active and ready for mathematical operations or intense memorising.
5. Stretchhhhh Sitting in a fixed posture for long hours may induce pain or soreness in your
muscles, especially in your neck region as you would be staring at your book on the table. Make sure that you take periodic breaks to stretch in order to loosen up those muscles, either by taking a brisk walk or stretching at your seat. Warming up your muscles in a cold room can also make you more alert and prevent you from dozing off. When you’re back at the table, you would feel charged up and ready to dash through the pages again.
Many people tend to suffer from low output as they cramp themselves with more information than they can possibly receive. Without adequate effort in maintaining a cohesive environment in which you do your revision, expect little productivity in the end of the day. As important as studying is, make sure the hours you spend by the desk is worth it up to the second!
