I think Staying Focused is one of the most difficult things about studying, especially when you need to study for a long time, for big exams, etc. Here’s some ways I’ve found helpful and seen other people use. 

Set a Goal 

This was one for the first techniques I used and it still helps me to this day.  Setting a big or goal of what you want to achieve, long time or short time. 

Setting Bigger Goals Setting a big, long-term goal, like getting into college or achieving a really good result on something that you struggle with. For these kind of goals you need to plan out how exactly you’re going to achieve what you want. To do this, it’s best to set yourself smaller goals, which will lead up to you achieving the bigger goal. 

Setting Smaller Goals You need to make smaller goals easy to reach. These could be like going up a grade, getting a certain grade on an assignment,  spending a certain amount of time studying.You need to make sure these goals have a good mix of attainable and challenging. This way they’ll benefit you by keeping you motivated. 

Rewards.  Achieving big goals is usually a reward in but to keep you motivated you  may need rewards to do keep trying to yourself wanting to achieve your goals. Set yourself up some little goals along the way. Perhaps buying something, going to see a movie, watching tv, etc. There’s numerous amounts. 

Use an App

Apps are so helpful, here are some of my favourites:

Pomodoro This app is so amazing for helping to stay focused. It’s a timer with breaks after each time slot with a break after 4 Rounds. It also has a goal of what you want to achieve that day.  It helps because although you may b looking forward to getting a break, you’ll also be working. It also has a ticking noise which can aid you to keep focused or you can turn it off it annoys you. 

Focus Timer If you find yourself always picking up your phone, this app is perfect because it keeps you off your phone while timing your study. It also lets you keep a chart so you can track how much you study.  

30/30 This is app is a To-Do List and Timer all in one and is super useful to help you if you want to specifically time what you have to do. It works really well with a lot of alerts to keep you working. 

Focus Now This app is the free version of Forest, which I’ve seen a lot of people use in the community. It keeps you off of your phone because if you exit off you’ll kill the plant that grows while you’re not on your phone. 

Listen to Music

This is not for everyone but it can work well for a lot of people! Try out different genres and stick to ones without lyrics as these are generally the best for keeping you focused. 

Classical Music - popular choice with studyblrs

Instrumentals - another popular choice, very focusing and soothing

Video Game Soundtracks - these are literally made for keeping you focused so these are great!!

Instrumental Movie Soundtracks - some of these are also made to keep you focused and drawn in. (The Theory of Everything one is so good!!)

Electric Sounds - works well if you dislike classical! 

Natural Noises - keeps your mind from getting distracted by blocking out silence

Coffee Shop Noise - proven to help you be more creative and keep focused

Some good masterposts with lists for study sounds:

Study Order

Study order is something we usually forget about but it’s actually super important! 

Do a quick/creative or subject that you like first. It will get you focused and in the mood to start with.

Move into a difficult subject or one you find hard to focus during. You’ll still be focused and motivated from the first task but not tired or bored. 

Finish on an easy or quick task. It’ll leave you feeling satisfied with the work you completed and even though you’ll be tired/less focused from previous tasks you’ll be able to do it efficiently if it’s and easy topic for you!

Have Something that Reminds You to Study

Very often we get sidetracked by something else which can break our focus. Instead have something that will constantly remind you to study or why you’re studying.

An Cheerful Alert on your Phone. It may sound cheesy but it can help you keep your phone down and get your work done. 

A Inspirational Quote/Picture that reminds your why or what you’re studying for. It’ll keep you motivated as well as focused. 

A To-List. Placed in a visible spot so you can keep in mind what you have done and what you still have to do. 

A Bullet Journal. It works well for keeping you focused on your study as it’s an analog system and you’ll have to force yourself to mark the work as completed/uncompleted therefore keeping you more motivated and focused on the work you have to do! 

A Planner - works well for informing you of what you have to study, if you would prefer more structure than a bullet journal ,a planner will work well for organising your days. @passionplanner​ has free planner printables, if you’d prefer not to invest in a planner fully yet!

The Dreaded て Form

Chances are, you all know what I’m talking about here. TE form is how verbs are connected to show successive actions.

たとえば：

すしをたべておちゃをのみました。

See, this sentence that I ate sushi and drank green tea (tense is determined by the tense of the last verb – ます／ました／ましょう　etc.)

But as with every other verb form or sentence structure, there’s a set of rules that applies to making sentences with this form.

Group 1 verbs: ( end in an い　sound before the ます）

Step one: cross of the ます　

Step two: look at the sound before the ます

Step three: Change according to the rules below

い、ち、り、　－　って

び、　み、に、　－　んで

き　－　いて

ぎ　－　いで

Group 2 verbs (end in え before ます)

Step 1: cross off ます

Step 2: add て

Of course, a Japanese lesson wouldn’t be complete without something that refuses to follow the rules.

行きます　－　行って

University Study Tips

I’ve been studying at uni for about a month and a half now and have found a good rhythm for myself so I thought I’d share some of them

handwrite your notes: it’s really tempting to type because you can get more information down faster, but personally I find that the information sticks way better if I handwrite everything.

rewrite your notes: I have one notebook for all my lecture/seminar notes. The notes in this book are a complete mess, but when I get back from my lectures I copy out the notes neatly and colour code them in another notebook. The repetition makes the information stick even better and also means I’ve had time to digest the lecture and come up with my own interpretation/analysis.

go to the library: personally I find it really hard to work in my room, but when I’m in the library I easily get through all my work, look at the clock and suddenly realise that it’s four hours later. Find the space that does this to you whether it’s the library, a coffee shop or study dates with a friend.

get ahead: it’s beyond tempting to wait until the last minute to do your reading for a seminar or an essay but start as soon as you can. Time honestly flies by at uni and early on I had times when I thought I had ages to do my reading and then suddenly realised that my seminar was the next morning and I had three or four texts to read. For essays the earlier you start the better; I started the reading for my first essay a couple weeks ago (about a month before it’s due), which means that I’ve got more time to refine my argument and fill any gaps in my reading.

pull your weight: there’s nothing more annoying than having a group project and having that one kid who does no work. Everyone in your group is probably in the same boat as you workload-wise, and you don’t want to end up with that reputation. If for some reason you really can’t get the work done be upfront and honest with your group, but don’t make a habit of doing that.

get enough sleep: I’ll admit to failing at this a lot, but I feel miles better and way more productive when I actually get to sleep at a decent time.

have fun: make sure you still go to socials and go out with your friends. Sometimes it feels like you’re drowning in work, and I’ve found that it’s easier to tackle it once I’ve unwound for a night.

treat uni as a nine to five job: this was the advice my mum gave me before I left, and it really is good advice. Not only is it good practice for when you end up in the real world (eek) but it also means fewer late nights and less stress. I don’t manage this every single day, but I do most of the time. If you can commit to this schedule at least three days a week your work will seem a lot less daunting.
