Back To School Hacks

Unfortunately summer is coming to an end and some of you may have started school already. Today I am going to be sharing with you some tips/hacks which can hopefully help you out and make going back to school a little bit less stressful and a bit easier.

1.     Place your alarm clock/phone across the room.

Like that when the alarm goes off in the morning you have no choice but to get out of bed to switch it off. This can help you save more time in the morning so you can have a proper breakfast and have time to get ready, instead of hitting the snooze button about 3 times before getting up.

2.       Take short breaks when studying

I find it helpful to study for 50 minutes and take a 10 minute break. You can also study for 25 minutes and take a 5 minute break. Then make every third break a 5-15 minutes longer.

3.       Put your schedule as your lock screen

During the first few weeks of school, you can take a screenshot/photo of your schedule and place it as your lock screen so that you do not have take your timetable out after every lesson to see where you need to go next.  All you have to do is look at your phone.

4.       Use a study incentive

If you want to study a certain chapter place a gummy bear or any other candy you like at certain points on the page. Once you reach that part of the chapter you can have the gummy bear. Or mark your book lightly with a pencil, and once you've reached that part take one. 

5.       Highlight your notebooks if they look the same

If you have a number of notebooks for different classes but they look the same use different colored highlighters to mark them on top, so they are more easily distinguished. This is easier than having to open each notebook every time to find the correct one.

6.       Study your notes on the same day

After taking notes in class, study them on the same day at home – it will make it easier to remember the content.

7.       Post it notes

Stick these where you can see them, so they will remind you what you have to do that day/week

I hope that these tips where helpful and that you enjoyed this post. Have a great week and I'll talk to you next time!
