Make a list - This should be a list of everything that has to be done that evening. Means, everything—from re-reading notes from this morning’s history class to quizzing yourself on Spanish vocabulary.
Estimate the time needed for each item on your list - You can be a little ruthless here. However long you think a task will take, try shaving off 5 or 10 minutes. But, be realistic. You won’t magically become a speed reader.
Gather all your gear - Collect EVERYTHING you will need for the homework you are working on. Getting up for supplies takes you off course and makes it that much harder to get back to your homework.
Unplug - Switch off or silence your phones and tablets, or leave them in another room until it’s time to take a tech break.
Time yourself - Noting how much time something actually takes will help you estimate better and plan your next study session.
Stay on task - A better strategy is to note what information you need to find online and do it all at once at the end of the study session.
Take plenty of breaks - Active breaks are a great way to keep your energy up. Tech breaks can be an awesome way to combat the fear of missing out that might strike while you are buried in your work.
Reward yourself - If you had allocated 30 minutes for reading a biology chapter and it only took 20, you can apply those extra 10 minutes to a short break—or just move on to your next task.
