Since probably a lot of people using the forums have been to school/studied, perhaps it would be useful to compile some useful study tips or tricks

(I'm not sure if there is already a thread similar to this, sorry!)
(Also sorry for huge text wall!)


For me, I use a Chrome extension called "StayFocusd" to keep me from procrastinating (it works wonders, I swear).

Essentially, I put it on "nuclear mode" where it blocks a list of sites that I have inputted into it to block for a set amount of time. Of course there are ways to bypass the block i.e. using a different web browser or going into incognito mode but still, I don't go to such lengths just to procrastinate, so it works great for me!

Another thing I have found useful is studying whatever has been learned the day it is taught, as well as rewriting notes that were written quickly in class to refresh (although the second part might take a really long time...summarize, I heard that writing notes in the least words possible to get the message across is the best way).

Also, I used to be constantly stressed with schedules and remembering certain dates where I need to go to clubs/volunteer/programs/deadlines etc, but now I just use Google Calendar since it synchs my laptop and my phone's calendars, it has taken a huge weight off of my shoulders from worrying about missing a meeting etc. Also I have found it to be helpful by writing homework/assignments/test dates on the notes application on my laptop just so that I can see what is most urgent at a quick glance!

P.S. drinking water boosts your memory by a lot!! I used to just be super lazy to drink water but now whenever I study I try to drink water Although I do forget occasionally..it is something I am working on for sure.



If any of you have any other helpful info please feel free to add! Anything school/study/academic related is great!!!

Also sorry if anyone cringes @ me trying in school lol
