Taking 18 credit hours this semester was not my best idea. Almost all my free time is spent studying. However, my "studying" can sometimes be pretty unproductive. Do I wind up studying longer because of all the distractions I come up with? Yes. Will I ever change? Probably not. Below are some study situations I think almost everyone can relate to.
1. Having a Netflix show playing while studying
GiphyWhy do I do this?? I don't know self-sabotaging?
3. A study snack
GiphyI always wind up lookin' like this guy. I tell myself "I cant eat and study. That's to messy."
4. Working on something that isn't due for two weeks instead of the thing that is due in two days!!
GiphyWhy do I do this??!!??
6. Thinking about everything I need to do and crying instead of actually doing anything.
GiphyProbably my most unproductive habit.
7. Reading any book other than my text book.Â
I love reading. I just don't love reading my required textbooks.
8. Drawing or painting study break
GiphyThis one may just be a me thing. Last night I spent over an hour painting instead of studying.
10. Deciding I need to relax, take a bath, and put on a face mask.
GiphyHonestly, doing this does help me focus more!
Good luck with your studies!!
