Productivity tips! ヾ(≧▽≦)o

some tips i will be following for the next 7+ months

1+2 rule: pomodoro study session for 2hrs and 1hr revision (if you are like me and you find pomodoro session too short, try 90 min ultradian sprint followed by a 20min break)

switching subjects after 1hr

1-3-5 method: 1 must do; 3 should do's; 5 could do's

replacing social media dopamine hits with ted talks or anything that sparks creativity in your field of study

quality>quantity

take boring breaks: just sit in silence, walk around, stretch but don't check your socials or listen to music

create a study playlist and do not listen to those songs outside your study session, and put it on before you start your session to get into that mode

this is for when you're struggling to get in the flow state - do the task for 5 min and if do get into the flow state (which you will) set a 25 min timer and then follow through with pomodoro technique.

take 30 seconds break after each 30 min, take deep breaths; helps to reset and rewire your brain

take mini-breaks throughout the day- which are non-academic to unwind and keep yourself away from your gadgets

ps. i will keep editing this as time goes and i find more useful tips<3
