August 13th - Study what's effective when you study
Aug 13, 2025
Have you ever tried a “fun” study technique only to feel hours later like you’ve accomplished nothing?
Rewarding yourself with treats for every paragraph you read might seem motivating, but it often wastes more time than it saves.
Instead of spending your energy making things fun and pleasant and colorful, focus on reflecting on what study methods actually WORK.
-
Which study methods actually help you remember those flashcard terms?
-
What kind of an environment is actually best for you to sit and read in?
-
What outline process gets your essays done the fastest?
When you pay attention as you study, you will quickly learn the most effective methods for reading, writing, and retaining information. You can’t always force yourself to love the topic, but you can use your brain to make your study sessions as effective as possible.
This doesn’t mean you can’t make your notes pretty, it just means that by making function your top priority, you’ll build smarter, more efficient study routines which means higher grades and more time for the fund stuff.
Take control of your time this term:
