    the afterschool slump is SO REAL! I've been feeling it a lot more this year since we're getting closer and closer to exams so this video is definitely needed!!!

    My brain relies on motivation and I started doing this technique- lay in the floor for 5 mins, go study for 20, go lay on the floor for 5 and revise for 20. The reason why this works is because you will get so bored of just lying on the floor doing nothing that you’ll want to study (called the pomodoro technique)

    I cannot recommend enough using the library (esp. the quiet floor/space) and cafes when studying at uni. I noticed whenever I was working on coursework/revising in my room I procrastinated a LOT. Changing up the spaces you use to study/work if you're a chronic procrastinator is very helpful. And definitely ask coursemates or flatmates to check up on you or do study sessions so you're up to date and accountable.

    "you can't expect yourself to go from 5 mins to 1 hour the next day" omg, great point. I kept putting off my studies thinking about how many hours left in the month, in the week, in the day and by the end of the month I actually expected myself to be putting in 4-6 hour periods of studying, when in reality I should be forming a habit by at least studying every day.

    Such a Problem for me at the Moment! I come back from school exhausted and do nothing, and then it goes in a cycle of me being demotivated the next day as ive done so little! Really scary with the exams so close.

    This really helped me alot! Especially the 5 minute rule.There are times when I try to learn and I feel like nothing is going to my head and I end up not learning anything because I feel I have to learn for atleast 2hrs,sometimes I end up forcing myself and I’m really stressed out the next day but this really helped me.Thank you so much!!!

    I am binge watching your videos as my son is in year 11 and is finding the homework load really tough never mind the revision that he hasn't done because of the amount of homework! I am not a naturally organised person either, and I remember struggling with this when I was in year 11. I want him to be more organised than me, and I think year 11 is when this becomes really important.
    I love your videos! You're really relatable and clearly a very bright young lady. Thank you!

    Thank you SO MUCH for this video!! It could NOT have come at a better time since I am ULTRA demotivated to study for my mocks soon and the IGCSE's in a few months. My fave tip is tip 1. To add to tip 4, if you use your computer to play around and then u expect urself to work on it, ok. but then work on a play computer with 50 thousand windows, that's just too much. The computer is BASSICALLY this close to sucking your soul and giving u the dementors kiss if you don't submit to your urges to go on it.
    Enjoy ur day/night:))

    @juliagraceG Před rokem +4

    Thank you for taking the time to do this video it's rly helpful! I just want to correct two things. Maybe don't watch videos or go gaming to "relax". Your brain doesn't actually relax while doing this. You might notice yourself that you don't feel recharged after scrolling on insta for an hour. I recommend drawing/writing, dancing, crafts, etc. (These are just the things I like to do.) As long as you're rly relaxing! (It's called active relaxation)
    Secondly, impressing your parents or wanting to be the first to go to uni are examples of extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic would be: I want to study this because *I* find it exciting, I want to expand *my* mind, *I'm* passionate about this topic. You do it for *yourself*! And believe me, you can find intrinsic motivation even for topics you don't like, if you just think about it for a while. Once you do find that motivation studying will get much more enjoyable!
