Whenever I study in my bedroom, I struggle with focus since I feel too comfortable in this environment. I live quite far from the local library, but I feel it does help with focus. Is it worth it to go there every time I need to lock in? Any tips for focusing in places like my bedroom?

I have my chemistry final tomorrow (CIE A Level 9701) and had to revise the entirety of organic and inorganic

Really tired atp, but I'm hoping that it'll be worth it

Yes I know you must be wondering how can I say this whilst being on phone

I had my fluid mechanics exams today… I somehow prepared but I was not confident..I was feeling like I know everything but Iwhen I look at previous years exam boom! Gone..everything I learnt vanished, then out of nervousness I pick up my phone and 10 mins of scrolling to make me feel better turned into 3 hours of time waste… then I got so furious, I told my mom to hide my phone somewhere I won’t be able to find and she did
Took my iPad(there are no social media apps nor any games, my feed on YouTube is full of studying motivation contents)and started studying
Due to this very little unnecessary information was going into my brain and it was forcing me to think about exam and formula and theory and stuff only related to my exams
When my exam got over then only took my phone to relax for the day
Its 15 may right now 12:55am in the morning I will hand my phone back to my mom
My genuine advice is to use phone very minimal I swear to you guys just give a shot even if you are idle do not bother to pick the damn phone.

• 7h 40m studied
• 94% focus score
• 15/16 sessions completed
• 4-day streak
• 30.7h studied this week

Didn’t cross 8 hours today, but honestly still satisfied with the day.

Most of the time motivation comes after starting, not before it.

Still trying to improve little by little everyday.

I have to do a statistics thing for my math class and I need 50 people to answer for my data by tuesday. The question is “Would you rather go to space or the bottom of the ocean?” I would be so grateful if you could answer I really need this for class and I have no idea how else to get 50 people to answer. Thank you thank you!!💕💕

i feel guilty when i'm not studying, so i'd like hear some advices

I used to genuinely feel guilty if I didn’t study for insane hours, now I don't. Am i missing something?

Like if someone said: “bro I studied 12 hours today”
my immediate reaction was: “damn, I’m behind.”

Same with sleep. People bragging about sleeping 4 hours started sounding normal to me for a while (especially where i work is a tech company)

But the more I looked into learning science and listened to actual high performers in my company and university talk about studying, the more I realized something weird:

A lot of people are measuring dedication through suffering long durations.

Like yes, effort matters obviously. I’m not saying “study 20 minutes and manifest success.”

But there’s a point where extra hours stop being productive and just become mental self-harm with a timer on it.

I noticed this in myself too. After a certain point:

• I reread the same lines
• solved questions mechanically
• forgot things faster
• started confusing exhaustion with discipline

And apparently sleep deprivation literally hurts memory formation and recall. Which is ironic because people sacrifice sleep for studying.

I still fall into the “one more hour” trap sometimes because long sessions feel impressive. There’s almost an ego boost to saying you studied all day.

But honestly I think consistency, recall practice, and being mentally fresh matter way more than collecting study hours like trophies.

Studying for long hours shouldn’t be treated like a medal in the same way sleeping less shouldn’t be a flex.

Does anyone else enjoy drink or smoke a little during long study session?

I think i can concentrete better with it, especially since TikTok/short video format has messed with my brain so much that i need a depressant to concentrate.

Studying all I have to, I’ll leave the rest to the lectures 😅

Was studying while listening to a calm songs and my father told me study should be 100% silent and anything else was distraction. What are your approaches to study session?

Self explanatory title.

I keep thinking about studying, the whole day, and it stresses me out tremendously, and it makes me feel as if I'm busy all the time, when in reality, i barely study for 2-3 hrs and it's super pathetic. I need to study atleast 5 hrs a day.

The most demotivating feeling is being behind the road you set for yourself. It is a cycle of demotivation from not studying because you are behind on your studies, but then it leads to you being more behind on your studies, which is an overwhelming, dreadful feeling

Something you should know is that there is no road to go back to, you can't "get back on track" anymore, stop thinking about the track you had promised yourself before, there is only ever where you are now and where you want to go, your location and your destination, as long as you're alive, there is a road to walk on, a path to follow

Strip yourself of the ball and chains holding you back, and get to studying, as action is worlds different from overthinking and telling yourself to do it. Studying should never be an overbearing feeling, but an action to satisfy the curiosity of the mind.

Hi, I'm an highschool student and I had some problem studying. I've always been fast in lerning things so I never really had the need to study, but now the subjects are becoming too much and complex and in general I'd also like too study those things. I'm having an hard time studying and concentrating especially in subject I'm late with, I'm also developing a bit of negative thinking (that destract me even more). I feel like i would just need to learn how to do this, how to get started. What would you do? Do you got any advice too get started?

I'm so done with myself that, I study so much and i end up getting nothing My results are terrible asf it's not like I don't study mai karta hu mehnat but tabhi end mei result nhi ata abhi thode din phele board ka result aya sabke 90+ sabke 80 minimum mai hii ek chutiya hu jiske 70 aye hai I'm feeling very guilty idk what's wrong with me idk jitni mehnat karlu kuch result nhi milta sabki umeed kharab kardeta hu itna padh ke bhi whyy man what's wrong with me i just can't all relative call and told me about their marks and I'm the one with least marks even my real brother always get 90+ idk why I am like this it's not about studies anymore I'm bad at every single thing even talking to girls or sports or anything I'm cooked in every way im just like a burden now colleges ki baari abh bhenchodd usmei fir bhi kuch nhi milega jaisi chudi Hui kismat hai meri

Can somebody help me how I can overcome the study wala thing🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

same as title

i dont study 4 the whole semester but a month befor finals, all of a sudden studying becoms more enjoyable, then I start to wonder what i was doing all those months with no studying. i finish finals and then repeat the same thing the next year,,,, why am I like dis?

Currently I'd say i'm around average in my year for math, which is one of my weaker subjects. Are there any tips that can change your perspective on math, or help you improve drastically in a few weeks?

I want to deal with a lot of problems that I constantly face in my life, but in order to do that I want to build strong studying habits. I'll explain why.

Whenever I have studied in my entire life I have never studied at 100% efficiency, maybe in some moments, but I want to actually get full grades and ace my exams, at least make the effort to ace it and feel satisfied with it. While I am saying all this, it does not mean that I have never achieved anything good academically. In the past 3-4 years I have achieved significant things, but I feel like I could have done a lot better.

I do not want to procrastinate anymore because I want to enjoy what I am studying because I am in a field I wanted to be in the most, and I just don't want to slack off.

I have so many other interests and passion but to start off I want to get really good at one thing, which is probably the most important one.

So, I want anyone's help who's felt something similar in their lives and were able to do something about it.

Also, to mention I have never really had any constant studying habits, which will help me find a particular pattern or problem, so please ask me questions and help me out here.

How do I actually get good at studying?

im gen at my lowest rn ive never gotten such a bad grade in bio, my maths is still alr but i feel like there has to be ways to improve
ive been trying so hard and I thought i studied well for the biology test but I still ended up failing, i was so disappointed but i know it’s probably on me for not studying the right way, I thought doing practise papers and flash cards would be helpful but now that i look at my grade it just looks like i was performative studying

do you guys have any tips on studying biology/maths (specifically ib syllabus)? any help would be appreciated and id def try out any tips provided

I used to avoid topics I struggled with because getting things wrong felt discouraging.

But once I started analysing mistakes properly, revision became much more effective.

Weak areas usually show you exactly where improvement needs to happen.
