Well, manage your time. It's easy to be a home and slip into the lazing around at home mentality, so make sure you have a work schedule that you can hold yourself to. Go to your lectures, and if you find studying at home is being ineffective, find an alternative study space - like your university or your local library, or a quiet café.

Hi @anonymous #1

I would recommend planning out your studying so that you can set goals for what you need to achieve each day. This should help you to stay on track and keep motivated.

Also, try to find different places to study - I find that I am a lot more productive when I study at university or at a local library.

Hope that helps!

Hey! Here are some of my top tips for studying at home:

Routine: Stick to a schedule as if you were attending classes on campus.

Organize your study space: Keep your desk tidy and free from distractions. Make sure you have everything you need, like books, stationery, and water, within reach, otherwise you'll find ways to procrastinate!

Take regular breaks: Use techniques like the Pomodoro method (25 minutes of focused study, then a 5-minute break) to stay productive without burning out.

Switch up your environment: Sometimes studying in the same place can get boring. Get out of the house and go to a café or library for a change of scenery. A change is as good as a rest!

I hope this helps,
