my early morning library study session routine that never fails me

my early morning library study session routine that never fails me, getting this stuff started early is just the best feeling ever #studytok #gradstudent #studywithme #libraryvlog #studyvlog Being a grad student means that I've really had to perfect my study habits over the years. And today we were up and out early this morning to go to the library. So let me tell you my study day routine to have a productive study session possible. I know myself and I know I work best in the morning, so I try to get to my study spot as early in the morning as I can. Today I got to library at 7 AM and of course I had to get caffeine before. That's literally a non-negotiable. The first thing I do every single time I start a study session is make a to-do/plan for what I want to do for that day. I really just make this to help keep myself on track all day and it feels good to be able to mark things off. I can't sit still for too long, so sometimes I like to get up and walk around. But after I've done all my planning, I will actually sit down and do the things that I planned for the day. My biggest tip is to do the thing that you've been putting off the most first. I've been procrastinating this assignment for so long and it literally took like an hour, so I'm glad that I got it out of the way. Like I said, we're always ticking stuff off of our to-do list as I'm getting it done. Of course, another non-negotiable is getting up, moving around and keeping my body fueled. For me personally, I think that protein bars and protein shakes are just the easiest thing to have during a study day. And my last biggest tip is that if you find yourself getting distracted on your phone, picking it up and just being on it for way too long when you need to study, set it up to video yourself or do a time lapse and I promise you, you will forget that it's there.
