After two and a half years living independently in different cities and countries from my family, I now find myself having to adjust to studying at home. These are my top five tips for tricking your brain into being just as productive \u2013 or more so \u2013 at home as you would be at uni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Zone your living space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"studying
My workspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m one of those people who needs to set aside specific areas for certain task. I cannot study in the same space that I relax in, but when space is at a premium, this can mean being creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mine is a family of adults working in a cramped London flat \u2013 and I can\u2019t use my bedroom to study in because it\u2019s been my \u201crelax zone\u201d for ten years. Trying to break the mentality that this is my space to retreat from the world is hard, so I didn\u2019t bother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, my family sat down and \u201cbooked\u201d different spaces during the day. I knew I needed a space with a large desk to spread out my notes that also had a door so I could ignore the rest of my (sometimes) noisy family. We haggled over spaces and times and ended up with an arrangement that suited all our needs. There have been no arguments over it, and we\u2019re all managing to be very productive because we took the time to decide who got what space when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Set manageable goals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With exams coming up, it can be all too tempting to look at your work and say \u201cI need to revise all of chemistry\u201d. However, a goal that large and unquantifiable will never be achieved. Instead, break the job down into lots of smaller, measurable ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve found the best way is to set myself two task lists \u2013 the \u201cto do today\u201d list, and the \u201cideally but not necessarily today\u201d list. It\u2019s fine if I don\u2019t get onto the second list; I\u2019ll do it the next day. It\u2019s also a good idea to have a few easy jobs on the list to balance it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, my \u201cto do today\u201d list is to write this blog post, submit a PPQ, and do my electrochemistry pre-workshop assignment. My \u201cideally but not necessarily today\u201d task is to complete the biochemistry assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure your jobs are necessary ones. If you set yourself lots of unnecessary work, you\u2019re going to pile the pressure on. Because I\u2019m studying at home, my exams are open book, I don\u2019t need to memorise all the mathematical formulae or reaction conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Be kind to yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are living in a weird situation, and it\u2019s going to impact your studying, so be understanding of that. I\u2019m only working in the mornings at the moment, because I can\u2019t do a whole day of work without paralysing myself with stress. Understanding what you can manage is the first step towards to being able to look after yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important not to get frustrated if you don\u2019t make your goals. Some days you just can\u2019t do it all, and that\u2019s OK. Tomorrow is always a new day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Take breaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even when working at uni, regular breaks are important. It helps reset your brain to avoid fatigue. Get up and move for at least five minutes in each hour, particularly once you\u2019ve finished one task and are about to start another. The physical action and short break will help you shift you switch project too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find it easiest to achieve all of this by leaving the room I\u2019m studying in for five minutes. As I work in zoned spaces, this forces me to focus on something else and move. I might use this time to do a quick chore \u2013 like dealing with any post that\u2019s arrived or hanging out the laundry. This makes me feel like I\u2019m being efficient with my time, while still taking a break from working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Celebrate what you achieve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to celebrate the small victories at the moment. I have a group of friends who tell each other our goals for the day, and then celebrate each one we complete. Not only is it interaction with other people, but it also creates a positive space. Yes, I watched all my lectures today. Yes, my friend graded all her class\u2019 assignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I finish both my \u201cto do today\u201d and \u201cideally but not necessarily today\u201d lists but still have time left in my allotted studying time, I don\u2019t do any more. I\u2019ve earnt the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
