One tip for studying specifically: Go to the library. Everybody around you is studying and therefore putting pressure on you to be productive as well.

This video distracted me from doing my task

[newgirl]

I was too busy reading comments instead of focusing on the video. 😓

1. Plan out your times (start by figuring out which times of the day your brain is focused the most) - most efficient hours and schedule your time accordingly
2. Train your brain (don’t multitask - put all effort in to ONE task)
3. Let it flow naturally (if you can’t focus - take a break to clear your head)
4. Sleep well eat well ! Take care of your needs = increased productivity
5. Make a list - make it clear to your self what you want to accomplish in each session - be specific !
6. Repeat repeat repeat (consistency) **
7. Clear up (leave all potential distractions from your previous tasks behind) move forward
8. Pay attention to your habits (pin point what exactly keeps you distracted and get rid of it)
9. Times up ! (Set times - Take breaks)
10. Separate relaxation space and work space (bedroom / study room) no working in bedroom X
11. FINISH !! End the work with some thing you enjoy eg: watch a movie.

Is anyone else, for some reason, always really focused when watching Psych2Go's videos because for some reason they're very calming and satisfying, but absolutely CANNOT focus on most other things?

If you are limited with available space, you can always differentiate a study zone vs. a relaxing zone with a light. The idea behind having separate spaces is to associate the various areas with the different tasks. Using a certain light while working, will have the same effect.

Yes to doing your most important tasks during your most efficient hours! This makes all the difference. Cheers!

This is great, thanks very much, also I would add doing exercise during the day, really helps boost dopamine levels in the brain and keeping up motivation especially when stress builds up.
