USEFUL TIPS FOR STUDENTS (PART 6)

USEFUL TIPS FOR STUDENTS (PART 6)

Avoid procrastination and distraction

One way to avoid procrastination is to think about the different places you have been when studying - where were you the most focused? Where were you most distracted? Is there anything you can do to make studying actually somewhat enjoyable?
Remember, what works for one person might not necessarily work for you.  For some, studying with friends can limit their productivity. But for others, studying in groups can help to increase motivation and avoid procrastination.
Personally, I advise you to set aside phones and other gadgets while studying. To avoid the temptation to see the history of the instagram, check email, facebook and other social networks.
