STUDYING while In Quarantine- Covid 19

Yes it's hard. And yes its okay. But we cant take chance. We cant lay all day because that's not getting things done!

My first 2-3 days were very focused, motivating then **bam** it's gone. Watching movie, eating, chilling and what not. But I am a medical student. Too long of chill is too deadly for me.. be it high school or any major you're doing. If You dont bust your ass, you're a lost course. 

So let me congratulate you firstly, because if you're reading this, you're probably looking for the long lost motivation. 

I wish I had a magic spell but ugh. 

Well for some motivation videos watch: 

Strive to fit, Jack Edwards- my favorites

If you need a partner while studying: 

You can watch numerous "watch with me" videos on youtube

Some tips from me: 

1. Make a to-do list but dont limit it, as exaggerated it may look put everything you have to do in a day. 

2. Wake up as early as possible. The more alone and uninterrupted you are the more work you're gonna get things done. 

3. Treat this quarantine as study break, and think that you have a exam right after it. 

Now START PREPARING! 

4. Use apps like- Anki(studying with flashcards is most effective method, it's called active learning where you train your brain to remember alot of information by looking at few words on a card) 

5. Read-Think-Write: method i use because I cant infuse alot of my notes into flashcards. So after reading 1 page I just highlight my pointers, say it out loud in my mother-tongue. Then flip the page and write through my memory. 

6. Read some books.. The Silent Patient, When Breath Becomes Air, Sydney Sheldon The Angel of the Dark. 

My current read: How to win friends and influence people. 

7. Pomodoro Timer- 25minutes of focus, with effective work then 5 minutes rest(usually watch a 5minutes video on you tube) then back to 25 minutes studying. 

8. Eat well, 8 hours of sleep. Drink water. 

9. Exercise, relax. 

10. Pat your back because you're trying!! 

That's all from me. Lots of love. Xx
