Stay focused and make the most of your study time

Stay focused with these tips from your peers.

  • 1. Play a Quizlet match game to memorize vocab or formulas. Repetition overtime in increments helps with longtime memorization
  • 2. If you have issues with focusing, an app called Flora allows you to grow trees and plants when you spend a specified amount of time away from the phone and focusing on a particular task. It’s an excellent way to stay focused and get things done.
  • 3. Outputs>Inputs. When studying independently, focus on writing and speaking because you do the inputs (listening and reading) in class. Do activities where you apply what you have covered in class.
  • 4. Set a goal for yourself everyday, check with yourself at the end of the day to see how you did. By setting a goal everyday you see your productivity progress and it gives you a feeling of satisfaction everyday.
