8 tips to keep energized during boring study sessions

1. Short Breaks & Movement: Get up every 25-30 minutes. Stretch, walk around, or do a quick exercise to boost circulation.

2. Hydration & Snacks: Keep water and healthy snacks (fruits, nuts) nearby. Dehydration and low blood sugar drain energy.

3. Change Study Environment: If possible, move to a different room or location. A change of scenery can refresh your mind.

4. Active Recall & Quizzing: Switch from passive reading to active learning. Quiz yourself or try to explain concepts aloud.

5. Vary Study Methods: Don't just read. Try mind maps, flashcards, or watching educational videos to keep things interesting.

6. Listen to Music (Carefully): Instrumental or ambient music can sometimes improve focus, but avoid anything distracting.

7. Set Small, Achievable Goals: Break down large tasks into smaller ones. Completing these provides a sense of accomplishment.

8. Positive Self-Talk: Remind yourself of your goals and the importance of the material. A positive attitude can make a big difference.
