But you should also take days off to reduce stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out below how easy it is to study consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-study-when-you-say-you-will\"><strong>How to Study When You Say You Will<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Scheduling your study sessions won\u2019t help you get good grades if you procrastinate when you\u2019re supposed to be studying. So how do you stop putting your work off? Newport shares several strategies to help you learn how to study consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, he recommends that you <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-care-for-your-body\/\">take care of your body<\/a><\/strong> so that you have enough energy to focus on the task at hand. Notably, <strong>stay hydrated<\/strong>: Drink lots of water to help you stay awake, limiting caffeinated beverages to one per hour so you don\u2019t get jittery. You should also <strong>eat regularly<\/strong>. Low blood sugar diminishes your focus, so eat proper meals and healthy snacks that will keep you energized. Skip foods that will give you a sugar crash, like a chocolate chip cookie.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Other experts present more specific recommendations to help you take care of your body, stay hydrated, and eat properly. To take even better care of your body, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucl.ac.uk\/students\/news\/2020\/may\/study-boosting-benefits-exercise#:~:text=When%20you%20do%20any%20type,help%20you%20focus%20your%20learning.\">exercise for 20 minutes before studying<\/a>; this improves your concentration. To ensure that you\u2019re hydrated, check <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/nutrition-and-healthy-eating\/in-depth\/water\/art-20044256#:~:text=So%20how%20much%20fluid%20does,fluids%20a%20day%20for%20women\">the color of your urine<\/a>: It should be pale yellow or clear. Pay attention not just to how <em>often<\/em> you\u2019re drinking caffeine, but <em>what<\/em> you\u2019re drinking it in: Research indicates that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketprep.com\/posts\/does-caffeine-really-help-you-study\/\">you can safely consume 300 mg of caffeine daily<\/a>, which is about 12 ounces of coffee but six cups of tea. And check out <a href=\"https:\/\/snacknation.com\/blog\/healthy-study-snacks\/\">this list of study snacks<\/a> for foods that are sweet but won\u2019t sink your energy\u2014like a fruit salad.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, Newport recommends that you <strong>schedule recurring study sessions<\/strong>. For each weekday, find an hour that\u2019s consistently free, and do the same type of work each time. For example, you might write your weekly Spanish essays every Tuesday at 11 a.m. These can\u2019t be your <em>only<\/em> study sessions. However, by repeatedly scheduling the same activity in the same way, you\u2019ll turn doing this work into a habit and will be less likely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/to-procrastinate\/\">to procrastinate<\/a> on it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third, Newport recommends <strong>planning ahead for difficult weeks<\/strong>. You\u2019ll inevitably encounter some periods that are particularly academically demanding\u2014like if you have two papers due the same week\u2014and thus require you to spend a few days holed up in the library to study consistently.&nbsp; But spending several consecutive days focused solely on academics is exhausting. By scheduling these work-intensive days well before your deadline, you give yourself breathing room so you\u2019re not forced to do two in a row and thus can conserve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/mental-energy\/\">mental energy<\/a>. For best results, broadcast to your friends how much work you\u2019ll be doing on that day; doing so will create social pressure for you to work when the day comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fourth, Newport recommends that you <strong>create a procrastination tracker <\/strong>to keep near your calendar. Each morning, write down your high-priority tasks. When evening comes, write down whether you\u2019ve completed each task\u2014and if you haven\u2019t, write down why not. If you\u2019ve put off a task for a weak reason, like that you wanted to watch Netflix instead, seeing that reason on paper will highlight its weakness in a way that merely <em>thinking<\/em> about it doesn\u2019t\u2014and will thus make you feel bad. In this way, the procrastination tracker motivates you to avoid this discomfort and do the work you\u2019ve scheduled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why You Should Plan Days Off<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some experts warn about different consequences of spending too many days holed up in the library: poor health and grades. They contend that when you study consistently without taking a break, you get distracted and don\u2019t learn as much. As a result, you start to perform poorly despite your hours in the library\u2014which leads to greater stress and diminished mental health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But instead of recommending occasionally work-intensive days in advance, they recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartstudentsecrets.com\/take-day-off-studying-not-world-collapse-around\/\">scheduling days off from studying<\/a> to give your brain and body the rest you need to recover. And, just as telling your friends you\u2019ll work will create social pressure for you to do so, telling your friends you\u2019re resting might force you to look after your health, too\u2014especially if your day off involves making plans with them.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you procrastinate while studying?
