Yup it's that time again,with Every second person up to their elbows in textbooks and tutorials and on scavenger hunts for past year exam papers.whilst I'm not one of those individuals presently,I thought I'd share some tips and advice so that the studious don't attempt to gorge out their eyeballs with their hb's.
1.body basics
Yes a healthy body = a healthy mind
Eat well,sleep well ,exercise.it is that simple.go for power foods at breakfast time,oats ,eggs ,bananas,smoothies etc.think high energy but slow releasing energy foods
Keep your Meals light,snack regularly on brain food(almonds) and keep hydrated.
2.strategise
He who fails to plan plans to fail
Draw up a timetable ,set realistic daily goals and stick to them.there is a sort of comfort in discipline and structure.
3.environment
Make your study environment conducive to your study needs.choose a room that is free from distractions.a peaceful environment with all your resources at your disposal (sometimes hunting for stationery sets you back a good few minutes)
4.rewards
When you set a study goal accompany it with a reward for your efforts.give yourself a break every forty minutes or so,your mind wont switch off and will be rejuvenated with the treat you have chosen for yourself .also remind yourself of what you are studying towards,eg,your degree
5.pray
Make dua often .it eliminates anxiety,grants you release when you are under pressure and promotes a healthy frame of mind.exactly what you need for a productive session of studying
'Rabbiy anniy maghloobun fantasir' that dua has helped me on a number of occasions and it mens 'Oh my Lord ,I am overwhelmed so assist me'.And don't lose sight of the fact that these tests of the world are not what will matter at the end,try yourbestbut don't be too hard on yourself.
Until you read again
All the best inshaAllah
