Getting into a balanced study routine will give you the skills and confidence needed to learn.
Create a dedicated study space:
Set the stage for success by establishing a dedicated study environment. Find a quiet space, free from distractions, with good lighting. Preparation is vital, so ensure you have all the materials you will need within reach to avoid unnecessary interruptions.
Set clear goals:
Before diving into your study session, set clear and achievable goals. Define what you aim to accomplish during each session: whether it’s reading a specific chapter of a book or perfecting a particular technique. Having defined goals will keep you focused and motivated.
Use a planner or calendar:
Organise your study schedule using a planner or calendar. Break down your exam preparation, coursework and/or rehearsals into manageable tasks with specific deadlines. This will help you stay on track, manage your time effectively, and prevent last-minute cramming.
Stay consistent:
We’re all unique, so creating a routine that works for you is essential. Whether studying at the same time every day, or dedicating specific days to each subject, finding what works for you and being consistent with it will help you form good habits and make it easier to manage your workload.
Stay connected with your classmates:
Independent study is important, but stay connected with your classmates to gain valuable insights along with support. Form study groups and engage in discussions with classmates to gain different perspectives and enhance your learning experience.
Take regular breaks:
Add regular breaks into your study schedule to avoid burnout. You could try the Pomodoro Technique, where you complete 25 minutes of focused study followed by a 5 minute break. The aim is to help you maintain your concentration and prevent fatigue during longer study sessions.
