Using favorite distractions as rewards

10-minute technique: beginning with a 10-minute activity to get going

[{"selector":"#anim-7d8fb425-909b-4a3e-b6b0-240056cbd3be","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-617bafb9-342f-4116-b666-19042f0f9456","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.06557%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-08f4d66e-5acf-4378-9fd8-18e18a4391dd [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-30.05514693779893%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Changing the study environment – at school, in a library, in a different room – to limit distractions and set new routines

[{"selector":"#anim-014fb097-3383-460b-a6a8-dde2c01f56ec","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-42a2f880-dbac-4354-b221-236c98bba67b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.18988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-191e0f35-dfdb-4ed7-8ffa-580c6c15adde [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-25.390624850671262%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Using rewards along the way, not just at the end of the week or term, often too far away

[{"selector":"#anim-4b1d99d9-9e9b-4b6b-aa10-d414bd9d4c12","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-13b82b18-8b56-4003-aa84-8216558aca44","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.18988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-283adde3-f83b-4633-8767-045b739ec877 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-37.2499999226335%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] Board Exam Books

Implementing 30-minute study blocks with specific activities for each burst

[{"selector":"#anim-26bf9346-c95d-44b9-b476-499865dd0ae6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4d389ef1-eb3f-4e4b-8b15-0b0151cef565","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.50632%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b47936c8-d9e9-495b-aece-836b519a3fc3 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(30.945121835595252%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Setting a specific and regular time to start schoolwork, the earlier the better

Adopting active study methods – they are more engaging

Make two lists: a daily list and a weekly list, which are connected and specific.
