All students when we start a new course we propose to start in the best possible way by organizing ourselves, making a calendar , buying new material, doing anything that can motivate us to study every day . However, few are the people who fulfill this purpose and when the exam months arrive they wonder what they could do to get that willpower to study every day.

In this article we are going to give you some tips and tricks to study better and to make this task as less difficult as possible.

Take care of your workspace

It is essential that the place where you study is a place where you can concentrate and is free from distractions . Although many experts recommend going to study in libraries since they are orderly, quiet and noise-free places that motivate more people to study, if you do not have a fence or do not feel like going, you should take into account a series of factors to create your room a good place to study .

The importance of organization

To be successful in the study it is essential not to leave everything until the last day and to organize little by little with what you have to do. For this we must make a plan with the days we plan to study and how far we want to do it , taking into account the reviews. For example, if you only want to study on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, get organized and prepare it in advance, you will need to know all the materials you need and how far you want to study , if what you want to do is prepare two topics on Monday, calculate how long you need to dedicate to those topics and add 30 more minutes to review what you studied the day before.

Likewise, something that is proven to work is to also plan study breaks , although this is a bit risky if you are a person with little willpower , because one of those breaks can make you leave it for the next day, which is normal. is that this does not happen and helps you to be more concentrated.

The normal thing is that every hour or two hours a 10 or 15 minute break is made , this will help you to clear yourself since when you start studying again, do it with a clearer mind.

Create a study routine

Once we are clear about how we want to organize ourselves in the study, we must make sure that we have create a study routine to make this task easier for us. The body gets used to a change or routine after 21 days of repeating it , which is why if we set ourselves the goal of studying in the morning every day from 9 a.m. to 12 a.m., there will come a time when this task is not done. make us complicated as our body will have gotten used to it. For this we must be clear about the schedules at which we are going to start and finish studying and how much time we want to dedicate to it.

Start with the most difficult subjects

As the hours go by, the brain gets tired of doing the same activity, which is why one of the tricks that works best when starting to study is to start with the most complicated tasks and leave the easiest ones until last. or less exhausting since otherwise we run the risk of not going all the way.

If we are productive people both in the morning and at night, it is better that we do the complicated tasks as soon as we wake up while the simplest we leave it for the end of the day. If not, it is best if we get used to studying in the morning since it is the time of day when our brain is most active and retains more information.

Consistently distribute tasks

Each person is a different world and while some people may find literature less difficult, others may find science very difficult, this is why we should not dedicate the same hours to one subject as to another, since in the ones we have more deficiency we must allocate a longer time to compensate.

Likewise, we must also take into account the proximity of the exams , if a subject despite being good for you, you have the exam within a week you cannot spend less time than another that is bad for you, but you have the exam in three weeks. However, it is good to remember that all subjects should be studied every day regardless of the proximity of the exam to avoid last minute stresses or failures.

The importance of review

Perhaps this is one of the most important tricks and it is that if we comply with all of the above, many tests that we have by simply reviewing the contents we will be able to go perfectly to the exam , this is because our brain when repeating something every day, although we think that we do not know if it has been stored . This not only has to do with subjects purely to memorize but also with practices such as mathematics.

Willpower

And as a last tip we have the most important: willpower . No matter how beautiful we have our notes, our schedule and our place of study, if at the moment of truth we are not able to sit down at the table to sink our elbows and start studying, there is little we can do.

The attitude with which we face the fact of studying is something of vital importance if we want to be successful. Motivation when studying and willpower are aspects that influence our way of learning. If we see this task as something boring, it will always be seen as something unpleasant and it will not be possible to acquire the habit of study properly
