With the COVID-19 pushing people into their homes, we
find ourselves pushing through the days. For a student, it becomes more of a
task, since they have to study from home. Used to attending classes on campus, meeting fellow
students, having a range of interactive sessions. It becomes extremely tedious
for students to study alone at home.
The range of distractions, to the technical issues
that a student may face. Studying from home is no easy task. Motivation has
definitely dwindled and you may find yourself lacking that enthusiasm you earlier
did to brush through those pages.
However, since times are tough, it is necessary for us
all to power through. If you find it difficult to study from home, here a few
tips that will help you through this magnanimous task. With these tips and a
dash of determination and willpower, you will definitely find yourself powering
through your study sessions from home.
Make a Timetable
Just like your college or university, make sure you make
a timetable and adhere to the same. Since you’re used to working through a
schedule, you will find it easier when you have your day laid out in front of
you. Not only will this help organize your time, but also help you when you’re
juggling with multiple tasks at hand. Schedule your breaks and give yourself
enough breaks between your study time. Make sure that you don’t treat your
timetable like a piece of paper and make sure to follow the same.
Have a Fixed Study Place
Since we are at home, we often find ourselves lazing
on the bed or the couch throughout the day. It is important that you create an
area that is dedicated to just your study. Make sure that it is clean and organized
as well as equipped with all your study material and stationery. When you’re in
this area make sure you mean business. Whilst it’s easy to end up napping when
you’re on your bed, this dedicated study place will make sure that you only
spend time doing what you’re mean to be doing.
Refrain From Multitasking
Since you’re at home you will find yourself with a
mammoth list of tasks apart from studying. Not only do these tasks includes
your household chores, but also includes a list of other activities as well.
Make sure to not take too many tasks at hand. Stick to your timetable and plan
an achievable list of tasks. Don’t go overboard but make sure you always strive
to achieve more than you did yesterday.
Sleep Well
Being at home, it is natural that your sleep schedule
has gone for a toss. While it’s fun to stay up till the wee hours of the night,
it does ruin your morning. Thus, even if you’re at home it is important that
you get a goodnight’s sleep so that you’re fresh during the day to achieve all
the tasks you have at hand.
Eat Well
Staying at home is equivalent to binging on a lot of
munchies. It is important that you keep yourself energised for all the studying
you have at hand and eat a nutritious meal. Set a time for all your meals so
that you don’t find yourself gorging on food while you are supposed to be
studying.
Keep your Gadgets Away
Unlike at university, you’re a free bird
at home and there is no one to refrain from using your phone while studying. An
easy distraction, you will find yourself caught in its web spending countless
hours on the phone. And before you know it, you have spent all your day on it.
Therefore, the time you have dedicated for studying make sure that you stay
away from your phone.
Stay Fit
Considering that you have the entire day at hand, keep
your mind as well as your body working. Set some time aside for your body and
exercise. You will be surprised with the wonders it does. Not only will it help
your body stay fit but also energize your mind.
Socialize
Whilst it is extremely pressurizing to be at the peak
of your productivity this lockdown, make sure that you also go easy on yourself
and relax your mind. Have a certain down time set aside for the day. Use this
time to either watch a show, movie, talk to your friends and relatives. Give
yourself the much-needed rejuvenation.
Studying at home can be a task, but with these few hack’s
things will definitely seem easier.
