6 Study Tips/Advice from a Lazy Reader

Are you one of those individuals who are struggling to read their modules, have a short attention span, and a lazy-unmotivated student? Well, this article is just for you!

I know some of us have allotted more time searching for the best study techniques than studying itself. Hahahaha. Funny right? Because I am guilty of that. In this article, I will tell you the things that I do for effective studying.


Absence of gadgets. A gadget like the cellphone is one of the major reasons why we lose focus in studying. Whether it be placed on our study table or in our hindsight it still gives us the trigger on using it and checking our social media accounts or playing games. What I would do is I turn off my phone and place it in a place where I can't see it. By this, I was able to focus on what I am doing.

You might ask, what if I need my phone for the activities? It is still possible to use your phone while studying but you should set restrictions. Some phones like my phone have a feature called focus mode. By turning this on, you are not allowed to use the apps that you have selected to not be used while you are in focus mode. You can just be allowed to use it when the time of restriction has ended or you have opted to take a break from focus mode.

Repetition Technique. It is difficult to absorb and to retain all the information that you are reading, that's why the repetition technique exists. You just have to say the lines repetitively until you retain the information.

Summarize the learning resources and jot it down on a paper. This is a very efficient way to absorb and remember the information that you have jot down. Writing includes muscle memory, it helps to remember the words that have been written. This is very effective when trying to remember scientific names which have complicated spellings.

Making the most out of your things. I have recently learned this while studying last week. I am that kind of student where I get bored in the middle of reading and tend to be distracted by my surroundings. So how do you make the most out of your things? If you are reading a book/module that has a lot of pages, try to get an empty container where you can put your pens. Put one pen for one page that you have read, in this way you can track your progress in reading.

Do what works for you. You can disregard any study tip/advice that anyone has told you if you have already discovered the study technique that works for you. It is still up to you if you will consider finding a new way of learning or sticking to what you are used to.

Do not force yourself to study when you don't feel like it. Forcing yourself to study is not going to end well. It is best to take a nap, listen to music or to anything that will get you back to the right headspace to study.

Final thoughts…

Hey babes! In this generation where studying has been continuously elevating/evolving, know that it is still up to you if you want to learn or not. Do not be insecure of other people's material things such as owning gadgets for studying, remember, you don't entirely need it to effectively learn. Do what works for you and if you really need a gadget for your studies, you can always find ways.

What about you, what are your study tips/techniques? Share it in the comment section.

Kung online class lang siguro, ganyan rin ginawa ko hehe. Trip ko rin magjot down ng notes noon pero kasi sa cellphone ako nagmomodule eh hehe para di na pa balik-balik si mama sa school. Anyway, nabasa ko rin sa isang book that if you wanted to be productive, dapat may gadget ka for playing stuffs saka sa work and study. Kaya trip kong bumili ng lappy eh hehe

I think the advice you give in this article is very good. Particularly, I am one of the people who when I write the information is more engraved in my mind, that is, it has worked quite well for me. On the other hand, it is no secret for Tanie that having the mobile phone next to her is a center of distraction when studying or carrying out any other activity where it does not merit its presence. That is why, on those occasions, it is best to keep it away from us until we finish what we are doing. Greetings!

I can say that you are a parent (correct me if I'm wrong) by the context of your comment. Phone is the most evil thing for a student that is trying to study. Hahahaha

Hirap talaga kapag may cellphone pero no choice kasi online class. Nag-download ako dati nung Block app haha.

I usually take a nap when I am not in the mood to study or I cannot take any information from reading. They call it as “power nap” smart people do it in the past so I will adopt it and it works to me.

Yup, power nap works!! We usually do that during the old normal in our boarding house. It sets your body and mind to focus on what you are reading.
