HOW TO START STUDYING
Part 4/7
@ELSAofBUK
Make a List
Okay, you’re free of distractions with an empty desk. What do you do now? Make a list. Write down all the tasks you need to accomplish today, breaking the bigger ones down into smaller, bite-sized pieces. How big is a bite? As a general rule of thumb, if it takes you longer than about 25 minutes to do, you need to break it up.
Some people like to prioritize their lists by putting stars next to the important stuff. Personally, I just write the list down in order from most important to least, with one important exception: (the rest is in the next part)

Some people like to prioritize their lists by putting stars next to the important stuff. Personally, I just write the list down in order from most important to least, with one important exception:
Start with something easy
This is a really cool little study tip psychological thing you can do to yourself. Basically, you start with something easy. Note that “easy” doesn’t mean “unimportant.” The idea is that it’s something that you can just knock out without much brainpower but that doesn’t waste time. Things like checking your email don’t count. Try something like typing up some of your class notes, or copying them to a different notebook. Something to get your noggin noggining.
It’s really important that you don’t waste time or get distracted doing this. If you use that first item on your list to check your email you’re highly likely to trail off into other things. Keep it study-related.

Use a system
I highly recommend that you use a system to keep yourself on track. I personally use the Pomodoro Technique, which you can read about in another post. It’s great at keeping you focused. I must confess that I don’t use the whole system (outlined in the book, which is really good and which I highly recommend). I modified it to fit my own style and circumstances. It doesn’t really matter what system you use to study – find something that works for you and stick to it.

HOW TO START STUDYING
Part 7/7

Set up a goal and reward
It’s important that you set both a big goal and mini goals each day. The big goal might be to accomplish everything on that list you wrote down. Mini goals might be to finish XYZ by lunch. For both types of goal, make sure you have a reward to go with achieving it. For your mini goals, have a mini reward – maybe a snack or five minutes of surfing Facebook. For your big goal of finishing the list, have a big reward.
For example, as I write this, I have quite a few things left on my list for today. If I finish them in time, I’m planning on heading out for a movie night with some friends. If I finish early, I’m hoping to head out for a game of disc golf (one of my favorites and the weather is perfect). See how that works?
So if you’re sitting on your behind trying to get into the swing of things, give this study system a shot. I guarantee you’ll get a lot done! Speaking of which, time to cross this post off my list and move on!

Biography:
T.S. Eliot was a groundbreaking 20th century poet who is known widely for his work "The Waste Land."
T.S. Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1888. He published his first poetic masterpiece, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," in 1915. In 1921, he wrote the poem "The Waste Land" while recovering from exhaustion. The dense, allusion-heavy poem went on to redefine the genre and become one of the most talked about poems in literary history. For his lifetime of poetic innovation, Eliot won the Order of Merit and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948. Part of the ex-pat community of the 1920s, he spent most of his life in Europe, dying in London, England, in 1965.
