Remove distractions – When you have a smartphone, a tv, a games console and music to choose from, as well as friends, family and computers, it is so hard to stay motivated and keep studying. I remember studying for my exams while constantly playing Football Manager. It was obviously not the best way to study, so eventually I had to sit in the garden with no distractions around me. However, if you have to go a long distance to watch TV and procrastinate, then this will change things for you as you will not be worth going for now.
Set goals – Make sure that you are determined as possible. Tell yourself that “Tonight, I will master the studies of X” and the next day you will conquer the next part. There is no point trying to squash spattering’s of information of different subjects in there. Become an authority on one subject every night and you will make a lot more progress.
